Bill Simmons’ Book Can Save Your Life!
While I haven’t been able to get my hands on “The Book of Basketball,” the new book by ESPN’s Bill Simmons, this was too funny not to post. Because of the book’s girth (700 pages), the crew from SportsNation wondered if it could literally stop a bullet. While Simmons was a guest on the show, their curiosity was satisfied when my boy Kevin Wildes, SportsNation co-creator, took the book to the local firing range. Enjoy!

I enjoyed when the female reporter suggested fear at the thought of Ray. I imagine it probably had nothing to do with his gun.

I wonder what Delonte West is doing??
BTW: “Ruger” must be the coolest name for a gun of all time

Read the first chapter last night. It is going to be an epic book for basketball fans. Walmart.com has it for under $20 right now.
