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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow to Watch Basketball Like a Genius\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.
