Sports Debates Over Drinks
Amazon Customer✓ Verified Purchase•May 29, 2017
Great read. I bought this book years after it was published. While some of the information is dated (he ranks the all time great players and Lebron is laughably low now), you'll still appreciate his thinking on each player. This is a thoroughly researched book that actually takes a stand in the true Simmons style. Simmons writes like 2 friends debating silly but necessary things about sports over beers.
I suppose Simmons' rubs many the wrong way. If so, this book will only make you like him more. However, if you like Simmons or are indifferent, give this book a shot. It's a great mix of stats and "I just feel" analysis that forms the basis of all great sport's debates.

One of best books on basketball

I don't agree with all of Bill's opinions on who is the best but you can't dispute he is one great/entertaining writer. Great book. If you like basketball this is a must read.

Very good. Very insightful

Very good. Very insightful . You may agree or you may disagree with the piramid but it has a criteria. And it is objective. I wish somebody could do something like that for soccer. Then, Pelé would be crowned as the best soccer player ever. Bill understand a lot about basketball, his writing is great , funny. I just thing the order of the chapter should be different. The chapter about Russel and Wilt is in the wrong place but that is a minor thing. Only caveat, it is a book for people that love sports, that's why I will not give it a five stars.General public may find it boring. Well done Bill. Great job?
