However, while it's enjoyable to watch, the real reason it works is because it's a game of culture, art, and all the things that make us human. \u003ci\u003eHow to Watch Basketball Like a Genius\u003c\/i\u003e deconstructs the sport from top to bottom and then puts it back together again, detailing its intricacies through reporting and dozens of interviews with experts. These experts, however, are a diverse group: wine critics weighing in on LeBron's ability to delegate on the fly, magicians analyzing Chris Paul's mystifying dribbling techniques, cartographers breaking down Steph Curry's deadeye three-point shooting. Every chapter treats basketball to a multi-disciplined study that adventures far beyond the lines of the court, examining key elements of the sport from some surprising and revealing angles. There's a reason it has conquered the world, and every game is a chance to learn about pop culture, fashion, history, science, art, and anything else that bounces our way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Greene\u003c\/b\u003e is a contributing writer for \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, prior to which he worked as editor at large at \u003ci\u003eMental Floss\u003c\/i\u003e and as web editor at the \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e.
