Summary: Basketball Nerd Heaven
Comment: The Marcophenomenal Almanac book is a huge victory for sports fans everywhere, and is hands down one of the best basketball books ever created. Most mainstream sports journalists analyze athletes as if they are race horses or children. The Almanac treats athletes like what they are: complex human personalities. The conclusions that the Almanac presents on these various players are truly thought-provoking, which is an especially impressive feat in a world far over-saturated with sports opinions. Question: Is the game of basketball a microcosm of life, or is life a macrocosm at the game? If you've ever wondered this, then go to the top of the page and buy this book immediately! With amazing illustrations, great writing, and eclectic reasoning, it can be enjoyed by non-zealots well.

Summary: Amazing Illustration...and the content is good too
Comment: It's really a great book if you are a basketball fan and especially if you love the NBA and it's characters. This is not for the casual fan, unless you are just a b-ball nerd. The illustration work is tip tier and I want all of these images as posters - every one. My only gripe is that there is no Iverson section. I'll let that go because this book is so damn good.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great book for real hoop fans
Comment: i was amazed how detailed the book was... get it if your real nba fan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Art
Comment: If the majority of sports writing wasn't hackneyed and unimaginative this wouldn't be such an outstanding book, but because it is, the FreeDarko collective produced something unique. They produce literature from their shared experiences of watching basketball. That's the best way I can put it.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The indispensible, amazingly illustrated companion to today's NBA—a roundball Rosetta Stone that hilariously decodes the trends and tendencies of pro basketball. The NBA of the moment is a league of hugely charismatic celebrities, crackling aesthetic intrigue, sociopolitical undercurrents, and raw humanity: every Kobe Bryant pump-fake or LeBron James dunk holds within it a Shaq-size load of meaning. The Macro-Phenomenal NBA Almanac is a one-of-a-kind guide to this tumultuous and exciting league. In a series of brilliantly illustrated chapters—from Master Builders like Tim Duncan to Destiny’s Kids like Amare Stoudemire to Lost Souls like Lamar Odom—the almanac breaks down the styles of the NBA’s most colorful characters, showing what each one reveals through his play and conduct, both on the court and off. Filled with some of the smartest, funniest sportswriting known to fankind, this book will cast an entirely new light on one of our favorite games.
