This book, as you could tell, was all about basketball. Of course I liked this book because basketball is my favorite sport. This book tells stories of Bill Simmons and how it is in the basketball world. In this book it talks about "the secret of basketball." What he is referring to is winning in the NBA. A lot of players in the NBA will play for stats and only care about how much they score and how they're getting paid. Bill Simmons talked about the second there was a team that didn't care about any of that and just wanted to win and would sacrifice all of the stats and money in the process they would do it. He was talking about the Detroit Pistons back in the late 80's early 90's. They did everything they could to win and played SELFLESS and won championships because of it.
