SprawlBall A Visual Tour of the New Era of the NBA Kirk Goldsberry Books Reviews

• This is a very interesting book. I have played professional basketball for 6 years all over the world after playing in the NCAA Tourney twice in college. I love data driven point so view and this book is no different. There are so very many pieces of data that Kirk has captured over the years to and put together in a very specific way, that its content is inarguably true. Everything in this game (and other sports too) can be tied back to a piece or a set of data. This is and has been a peculiar approach to sports, it has been proven that knowing the data behind what we see can assist in “making” new athletes. Several of the data points utilized in this book can and I am sure will be used by coaches, parents, mentors, and athletes themselves to further develop their game while they can learn and understand what areas to work on, and what are the areas of opportunities. For basketball lovers like myself, I would highly recommend this book, if anything it is a fact based entertaining book that teaches a lot about the game (focusing on the NBA) today. For coaches of high level athletes, AAU stars, or other folks with hopes to play the game professionally, I would consider that this read could be very beneficial as well. Also, Aaron Dana did a phenomenal job with illustrating this book, very accurate and good looking art.

• Received this book today and read almost all of it while watching the playoffs. A great analysis of the rise of the three and the potential decline of LBJ type rim attacks. Very insightful and filled with stats. If you like ball and enjoy the analytics of the game this is the perfect book.
• One of the major reasons the demise of Grantland is mourned by so many people are the wonderful analytics Mr. Goldsberry provided the site. He is still going strong on ESPN and this compendium expounds on his brilliant work for both sites. If you know his work, you are already a buyer. If you don't know his work... order this right away if you enjoy pro basketball. He is the heir to Dean Oliver's throne.
• This book would make an excellent gift for an NBA fan. My husband is a super fan. I gave him this book and he was smitten. He was so excited to read the book he wouldn’t put it down. Basically it gives the history of the NBA and the three point shot. They’re all sorts of pictures and stats in here. Excellent book this book would make an excellent gift for an NBA fan.
