The Art of a Beautiful Game by Chris Ballard
FreeDarko Presents: The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac
Their book is pretty great. Silly writing that makes basketball players sound like Norse gods and lots of awesome artwork.
Along with my other favorite and its prequel, The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats, and Stars in Today's Game.
Example of content: Lebron James
I'd recommend The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac. It covers style and personality for a lot of the stars in the league (it was made in 2008), and is incredibly insightful, funny, and beautifully illustrated. This diagram, on Tim Duncan is an example of what it's like.
FreeDarko's Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats and Stars in Today's Game has an amazing section on Sheed. They post his stats before/after getting teched up, and they're astounding.
Goes from being really good to basically being one of the best big men of all time.
Here's some reading material that you might find interesting.

Appreciating good basketball is important, but it's the art of the game, and really that of any pro sports, which makes it worth watching. Part of the art of the game are the storylines that unfold in sports.
As a Bulls/Packers fan I have been pretty blessed as far as the art and story of the game go with the GOAT in Michael Jordan, a guy that appears to be an all time great in Aaron Rodgers, Super Bowl wins, great playoff series like Bulls vs. Celtics 2009, etc.
It's something that is hard to explain, but the art, story, and the entertainment it provides is something great that comes from sports, and should not be denied to just viewing the game from a purely practical standpoint.
Start with The Art of a Beautiful Game by SI's Chris Ballard. It will make you fall in love.
I also recommend both the books from FreeDarko collective (buy them in hardcover for the fantastic artwork).
I started with The Breaks of the Game by David Halberstam because literally everyone recommends it, but I found it dry like a boring history textbook or a Wikipedia entry on the Blazers.
Where did you get that? Is that from a FreeDarko publication or something? (FreeDarko is an old basketball blog.) It looks like something that could come out of this book I have by the FreeDarko writers.
