Expensive Basketball

Expensive Basketball is a clever, witty, and emotionally driven examination of some of the most iconic players, moments, and games in the NBA and WNBA, written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Shea Serrano.   

While basketball is typically quantified by statistics and analytics, this book focuses on the "uncountable" aspects—the moments that feel more like poetry and art than data. Serrano uses his signature enthusiastic and passionate style to affirm the feelings these moments evoke. Chapters cover subjects from the final seconds of Kobe Bryant's playing career and the "erosive terror" of Tim Duncan to the elegance of a Sue Bird backpedal, celebrating the sheer virtuosity and emotional power of the sport.
