Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 2616304, member: 60"] Simmons was a great writer as a "guy at the bar" type fan. I always thought he captured the fan's POV really well. However, once he got bigger and then started developing Grantland, 30 for 30 and eventually The Ringer, he clearly shifted focus and his writing suffered. Now, imo, his best attribute is finding and growing talent. I also think his podcasts are solid. His TBOB is a really good book. Any big NBA fan should read it. You aren't reading that for the same reason you'd read "Breaks of the Game" by Halberstam, but it's a great read for huge NBA fans. [/QUOTE]
