Nerdy Basketball

This post is mostly for Laura, and is going to be a short one. I read this article today by Michael Lewis about Shane Battier of the Houston Rockets. He talks about how the Rockets have made use of statistics to try and field a better team. Apparently they're ahead of the game, but the article itself is just so awesome.

If you're looking for an author that your husband might enjoy reading, then definitely point him towards Michael Lewis. He's the same guy who wrote Moneyball, and the only book of his that I've read, The Blind Side. The guy is an awesome awesome writer, and all he has the most interesting sports stories. Great, great stuff. That New York Times article is long, but again...so interesting.
