Baseball has Michael Lewis, high-school football has Buzz Bissinger, but despite the clout of celebrities like Spike Lee and Jack Nicholson behind NBA basketball, the sport has been sorely lacking a literary champion. With the release of The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac from Bethlehem Shoals and the FreeDarko crew, we'll venture to say that the search is over. Drawing from the analytical style honed on their blog, the book breaks down the minutiae of the game with the help of artfully rendered diagrams and illustrations. Shoals, illustrator Big Baby Belafonte, and resident statistician Silverbird 5000 post up at Happy Endings tonight to set straight the difference between "swag" and "flow."
