[NBA Godfather + Stats Above All + Absolute Rationality + Ruthless Decisiveness]
The brutal era of the Four Great Centers guarding the paint and the Triangle Offense sweeping the league.
Su Chen arrives with an NBA database covering the next 27 years, inhabiting the body of a rookie assistant coach for the 1998 Dallas Mavericks. He can see every player’s peak and decline, and predict the success or failure of every trade.
He had planned to help the Mavericks build a dynasty around Dirk Nowitzki. But after insisting they sign the “skinny German,” he was thrown out and became a laughingstock across the league.
He strikes back by stripping the Spurs of their future, stealing the Celtics’ cornerstone, and signing the future “Sword” and “God of War” with the last pick of the second round, when nobody else wants them!
From [Moneyball] to [Death Lineup], from [Princeton Offense] to [Unlimited Switching].
He builds around the [2003 Golden Generation], recruits the [Windy City Rose] to create a new team, and brings in the [Golden State Baby-Faced Assassin] to shake up the league!
In this golden age of dazzling superstars, he faces the rulers of an old era who dismiss statistics and live by the principle that “whoever controls the paint controls the game.”
“If you don’t understand the future, then I’ll be the one to define it.”
On that day, all five starters under Su Chen made the Hall of Fame. The league changed its rules for him, and he personally wrote the new century’s basketball bible.
With one hand, he built a dynasty; with the other, he decided who made the Hall of Fame. He became the one and only Godfather of basketball!
The 1998 rules for the "death lineup" were really ineffective 🤦
So many updates, so fast, and so good! I'm giving you five stars to encourage you to keep up the good work!
This is the best NBA book I've ever read. It describes the games and trades in great detail, and it's very interesting.
Great basketball story!!! The pacing is brisk, I hope the author updates soon! 😎😎😎
It's really super super beautiful!
Among the many articles on team management, this one is actually quite good.
Managers, the most interesting part is the trades, especially those damn trades, all kinds of daring, predatory trades.
It's written on my heart.
