The Garden's Always Greener
The Garden's Always Greener
"I always read a writer's material before I decide to meet with them. I decided to meet with Jon Rineman. That should tell you everything you need to know. Case closed. Enjoy the book." - Jay Leno
"This book brings together three of my favorite pastimes: playing "what if?"; the NBA; and Jon Rineman's comedy! A delightful read!" - Gary Gulman, The Great Depresh
"Leave it to Jon Rineman to create a new genre of sports writing. He combines historical, magical realism with a ton of jokes. Plus add a dash of Boston Celtic fanaticism and you get The Garden's Always Greener." - Wayne Federman, Curb Your Enthusiasm & Official Biographer of Basketball Hall of Famer Pete Maravich
In 1986, the Boston Celtics were basketball's gold standard - NBA Champions and owners of the second pick in that year's draft. From Jon Rineman (writer for The Tonight Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, WWE) The Garden's Always Greener explores a timeline where the good times rolled, thanks to a charismatic rookie who changed everything. From one player saving Tupac to stopping O.J. to another's unlikely billions as a coffee magnate, it is a complete reimagining of the late-80s and 90s - with traces of 11/22/63, Forrest Gump, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. A hilarious, uplifting must-read for Gen Xers, Millennials, and fans of all ages.
Based on a computer simulation (with a story crafted around it), the book includes everything from narrative to historic rosters to Playoff brackets, as well as imagined newspaper clippings, talk show transcripts and sitcom pages. If you are a fan of NBA tomes such as The Jordan Rules and When The Game Was War, documentaries such as The Last Dance, or HBO's Winning Time, you'll love this reimagined glance at what could've been during the NBA's Golden Era of the 1980s & 90s.
