  Astonishing. Astounding. Awesome. Simmons examinates 50 years of amazing happened with sarcasm, humour, some trivial anecdote, a lot of well-thought opinions and the simple love of the game. TBOB is a basketball fan's wet dream, the book that ends all discussions about some issues and raises a million more discussions. And the recurring zings at Kobe, Kareem, Vince Carter are simply hilarious. But now I expect Simmons to rewrite Dirk Nowitzki's Piramyd paraghrap and raise him at least at level 4. Come on Bill, you know what you have to do.
