“Tanking to the Top” is a New Book About the Sixers and The Process
Published:
Yaron Weitzman covers the NBA for Bleacher Report and spent the last couple of season working on a book about The Process, a book titled Tanking to the Top.
Unfortunately, the Sixers have not yet reached the top. They have only successfully tanked their way to a pair of second round playoff exits, but the book is interesting so far. I have an advance copy and got through the first two chapters, which isn’t enough to do a full review, but I promise to do so in a future post.
Meantime, if you’d like to get in on the action, you can preorder a copy at Amazon.
The book will be out in March.
As a teaser, I will give you the titles of the first six chapters:
- Purgatory
- The Buyout
- “He Spoke Stanford”
- The Longest Lens
- “Who the Hell is Brett Brown?”
- “Everyone in the City is Going to Hate Me”
Will finish this book and then report back.
