A totally biased and totally hilarious take on everything NBA—best players, worst players, highlights (and lowlights) of basketball history, team analyses, coaches, etc. If it has to do with basketball, ESPN columnist Bill Simmons has an opinion, and he’s gonna give it to you. A fun and illuminating read for any basketball fan. —M.M.

Andre Agassi, one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, has written a beautiful, haunting autobiography in which he brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. From his rigorous training as a child to his rebellious teen years (complete with dyed hair and pierced ears), from his incredible on-court success to loss of confidence (and ranking), and, finally, to his phenomenal comeback, Agassi writes with candor, style, and wit. His metamorphosis from nonconformist to elder statesman of the game will leave you cheering.
