The sports world according to Michael Rapaportâactor, Top 50 podcaster, award-winning film maker, and sports fanaticâfrom the greatest and downright worst athletes, players, teams, and jerseys, but minus statistics, analytics, or anything else that isnât pure hustle in this âhell of a bookâ (Shaquille O'Neal).
In 1979, nine-year-old Michael Rapaport decided he was going to do whatever it took to be a pro baller. He practiced and practiced, but by the time he was fifteen, he realized there was no place for a slow, white Jewish kid in the NBA. So, he found another way to channel his obsession with sports: talking trash.
In the âcrazy, passionate, funny and intenseâ (Colin Cowherd) This Book Has Balls, Rapaport uses his signature smack-talk style and in-your-face humor to discuss everything from why LeBron will never be like Mike, that Tiger needs the ladies to get his golf game back, and how he once thought Mary Lou Retton was his true love. And, of course, why next year will be the year the New York Knicks win the championship. This book is a series of rantsâsome controversial, some affectionate, but all incredibly hilarious. âSomething is wrong with Michael Rapaport but thatâs what makes him right,â (Charlamagne tha God).
