Bill Simmons has gone from humble Boston-area blogger to the voice of ESPN.com in about a decade. And now his second book, The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy, is atop the New York Times bestseller list. He appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week (Simmons briefly left ESPN to write for Kimmel's show) to discuss the book and during the seven minute interview we learned a lot. Like the fact that Simmons used crystal meth, sports a weave, and had a 10-year sexual relationship with his father. At least to hear Kimmel explain it.*
Simmons also talked about an interaction he had with one hardcore fan during his recent Los Angeles book signing. Moving pictures details after the jump.
"She left me DVDs and pictures and one of the DVDs was signed 'Let's get nasty together' for me and my wife. My wife was not excited for the invitation."
And while we're on the topic of being naked for a living, in the second part of the interview Simmmons talked to Kimmel about hashing out all his problems with Isiah Thomas at a topless outdoor hotel bar while Gus Johnson brokered the peace. And, yeah, this took place Vegas.
* pretty sure that was a joke
