Happy St. Patrick's Day. As a proud Irish American I always enjoy St. Patrick's Day. I wore green to work, and I am wearing a green t-shirt right now. I appreciate it when people wear green, it takes minimal effort to be just a bit festive. If you wore green today, good job by you.
You may or may not remember my post from last fall about The Book of Basketball. It caused a minor controversy regarding the personalization that I asked for. Some five months later I finally finished the book. This book is long. You might ask how long?* He may even answer, long enough to stop a bullet. He wouldn't be exaggerating.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the fact that two of the three players Bill Simmons hates the most are Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone. Still, as JJ and I discussed, Bill ranked those players fairly. I recommend this book to anyone who likes basketball, or Bill Simmons, if you don't like either of those things, don't read this book.

Maybe we can send Mr. Long a copy of the book. I am friends with him on FB. pretty funny.
Did you feel that Manute Bol was fairly ranked as well? Did George Muresan get a fair shake? Does Bill's version of history shed new light on the dynamic trio of Rasheed Wallace, C-Webb, and Rod Strickland? These are all questions that I hope you're ready to discuss in a public forum on Mar 27.
I'm glad you finally finished that Giant Sized book. I'm actually thinking about re-reading it.
I would sleep with one eye open if I lived near Ray.
