PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR SHEA SERRANO“Shea Serrano’s Basketball (And Other Things) is equal parts hilarious and enlightening…this is the ultimate book on basketball fandom.”–NPR”…hilarious and insightful…“–Men’s Journal”[Shea Serrano is] America’s foremost chronicler of pop minutiae.“–Texas Monthly“Cleverly written and beautifully illustrated…It’s a must for any basketball fan.”–Esquire“Even if you’re a basketball novice or die-hard Spurs fan like Shea, this is a perfect companion to his Rap Year Book: full of myths, what-ifs, and hyperspecific fanaticism.”–Vulture“Paging through Serrano’s MOVIES (AND OTHER THINGS) is like taking a long drive at night with a friend; there’s that warmth and familiarity where the chat is more important than the fastest route from Point A to Point B. [MOVIES] is like a textbook gone right; your attention couldn’t wander if it tried. With a foreword by John Leguizamo and afterword by Don Cheadle, movie buffs have no excuse not to lose themselves in this oddball book.”–The New York Times
