Bill Simmons' Modest Literary Offering

ESPN scribe Bill Simmons has taken much of the summer off to work on his NBA-focused book. While a huge firebrand for all sports fans, his NBA stuff has been mostly well-received over the years. He clearly loves the game (he has Clippers season tickets, for self-mutilation's sake) and has some good insight.

That said: the title of his tome might be a little ... presumptuous.



Oh, I hope that's a working title. (He's got plenty of time to change it. May '09? In the middle of the second round of the playoffs?)

For volumes which don't purport to be the greatest ever (but might have a better shot than Simmons' effort), might I suggest Free Darko Presents ... The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats, and Stars in Today's Game or Men with Balls: The Professional Athlete's Handbook?
