![]() ![]() ![]() Feinstein's writing is just middling, he gives away nonfiction plot points that could be used to create narrative tension, he overuses words (if the team "broke up" in laughter again, I was going to scream), and he just made the events of the season feel very repetitive. I found myself, time and again, wondering just how good the book could have been if a talented writer had had access to Knight for that season. However, I was amazed by how poorly it was written. ![]() I can't believe I hadn't read Feinstein's book sooner-it is still the best-selling sports book of all time. But still, his style of basketball was my bread and butter. This was, of course, before I learned of his hilariously out-of-touch sexism. I used to tell people I decided to get my undergrad degree at Indiana University because of Knight (in a past life I was an inappropriately obsessed basketball player, against all odds at 5'1"). I liked it because it was about Bob Knight, a figure I have been fascinated by for many, many years. ![]()
