Just finished it

I learned A LOT about the history of basketball, but over 700 pages his style of writing got a little grating

He really wants to be a comedy writer, except he's not as funny as he thinks he is

just reading 700 words from him is bad enough. not sure i could handle that many pages

it's a very conversational style of writing, which i normally enjoy. but for whatever reason with him, i just can't get into it. i think it has something to do with what you said...

that's the only reason i can think of why i can't read his stuff without getting annoyed (at the style of writing)

frick Bill Simmons. Secondly, those people are the worst (funny, but not). And finally, we're going to be facking good. The game is moving to a combo guard style where they can "do it all" (play pg, shoot, drive, and play D on pretty much any guard)..we're full of speed, big at each position and our coach will demand defense which I believe our players will buy into. If Monty figured out how to put each player in his "spot" offensively, we'll be hell for other teams. I can't facking wait.

Also, fack Bill Simmons and I hope Jalen Rose gives him a Beatdown and dear God come on Greg Oden.
