Really novel way to approach the game, and pretty unique to basketball.
Sopan Deb, The New York Times

How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius is a rewarding read for anyone who loves the sport. It approaches basketball from a number of unique angles that make it feel new and exciting. It is almost as if one is reading about the game for the first time. Greene has written one of the best basketball books of recent years, one that combines history, reporting, and analysis in a very exciting way. Even the most ardent basketball fans will be invited to rethink well-worn truisms about the game's development, why it developed the way it did, and what makes it so appealing. By looking at the game of basketball, from its rudimentary beginnings to the way it is played today, Greene helps readers see the game anew.
FanSided

A very insightful and engaging new book . . . The thing with this book that sets it apart is that the experts are not the usual suspects on ESPN, but a soap opera casting director weighing in on the game's most prolific floppers, magicians analyzing Chris Paul's mystifying dribbling techniques, cartographers breaking down Steph Curry's deadeye three-point shooting, and plenty more.

"How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius pulls off a rare trick: It makes you feel smarter as you're reading it, but it does so without ever making you feel like you weren't smart in the first place. I greatly enjoyed it."
Shea Serrano, writer for The Ringer and author of the New York Times bestseller Basketball (and Other Things)
