Basketball on Paper
Dean Oliver
The first book that I read in my personal basketball analytics journey. I love it so much. Dean is so clearly an intelligent guy and has a great sense of humor. This book is an amazing foundation and I recommend it to everybody looking to understand the game at the most fundamental level.

The Midrange Theory
Seth Partnow
Amazing, timeless read. Seth tackles basketball's biggest questions, painting them in a logical way and backing them with statistics. I had the pleasure of meeting Seth during SBC, and the guy is in his own league in terms of understanding the game of basketball.

Betaball
Erik Malinowski
It was awesome reading in detail about how my dynasty was put together. Malinowski is an amazing researcher and sunk tons of detail into this book. I especially appreciate how he gives in-depth analyses crediting some of the background cast of the Dubs dynasty.
Podcasts
Dunc'd On Prime
Love me some Dunc'd On. These guys just talk about exactly what I want to hear, as someone who cares far too much about the association. I love their Daily Duncs, I love H&D, and I love that they put out rankings, cap sheets, and other helpful minutiae.
The Hoop Collective
Best podcast for NBA news. For free, fans get 3 experts sharing their insights and opinions on everything that is going on. Their dynamics are hilarious. You can tell that they are good guys who care about each other; despite the constant bickering between the Tims.
Thinking Basketball
Though less frequent than my other pods, Thinking Basketball is still an essential for me. Ben breaks down the actual game of basketball with a level of detail unrivaled by any other analyst. His YouTube channel is also great, and the videos about Toumani Camara and Alex Caruso are just pure beauty.

NBA in Depth just does great work. Plain and simple. The best basketball instagram page that is out there. Plus, Lucas is a great guy!

@swishcultures
I love Jordan's breakdowns. We need to get this guy to become an NBA announcer.

@nbatradecenter
Just recently found out about this account. They do good work. I don't love all of their opinions, but their coverage is top tier.
