The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats, and Stars in Today's Game

The National Basketball Association is, above all, a league of characters unlike regimented football or stats-happy baseball. Throughout a season, games are won or lost, but for millions of devoted fans, the final result is almost inconsequential compared to the performances of the league's best players on and off the court. This book serves as an essential companion to the present-day game - a roundball Rosetta Stone that humorously deciphers the trends and tendencies of the immensely popular sport. The NBA of today is a realm of immensely charismatic stars, filled with aesthetic intrigue, socio-political undertones, and raw humanity: every Kobe Bryant pump-fake or LeBron James dunk signifies the evolving landscape of professional sports and carries profound meaning. Fans who truly understand the sport recognize that basketball encompasses so much more than just the game itself.

The Macro-Phenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac is a expertly illustrated guide to this dynamic and thrilling environment. It delves into what each player, from Tim Duncan and Gilbert Arenas to Amare Stoudemire and Lamar Odom, reveals about themselves through their actions on the court and off, and more importantly, what the fans desire them to represent. Just like the game it pays tribute to, The Macro-Phenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac is both genuine and thought-provoking, comedic and approachable, entirely unique, and consistently entertaining.
