Review of 'SprawlBall' on 'Goodreads'

Excellent points with lots of great visualization diagrams and supporting data. However the lengthy examination is hammered home so much that it almost ends up being a one-note complaint about how the three-point shot has ruined classic basketball.

While the changes in the game and the roles of the players can't really be refuted, it elides the fact that no team really has found long-term success in it except for the Golden State Warriors, who have the best shooter of all-time, backed with another historically great shooter. It remains to be proven whether more teams can reliably and repeatedly succeed without Steph and Klay.

Review of 'SprawlBall' on 'Goodreads'

Super informative with great charts, especially for a non-jock, couch spectator like me, although if you're a little sick of reading about Curry or LeBron, just the first and last chapters and the one about Kevin Love will do nicely to make his point(s).
