by Shea Serrano
First published 2021
Shea Serrano opens basketball's most heated debates and settles them with arguments backed by research and humor. He examines which season showcased Michael Jordan at his absolute peak. He builds a Hall of Fame for the most disrespectful dunks in NBA history. He constructs the perfect "frankenjugador" by combining body parts from different players. Serrano identifies the archetypal basketball villain and determines which duo formed the greatest partnership in NBA history. He weighs which championship meant the most and establishes the rules for pickup basketball games. The book tackles questions that fans debate during late night conversations but never think to analyze seriously. Arturo Torres provides illustrations throughout. Serrano blends rigorous documentation with fantasy scenarios, creating arguments for basketball obsessives who want both statistical analysis and creative speculation about the game they love.
