Bill Simmons is going everywhere promoting his latest work entitled The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy including a second visit to The Colbert Report. Bill was first interviewed by Colbert in 2006 (Shanoff breaks down the interview) to promote “Now I Can Die In Peace.” In his latest trip to The Report Simmons says baseball is for old folks and Wilt Chamberlain is gay. Now that’s how you sell books!

“Here’s my evidence: he owned cats and he was never married. That’s it. That’s all I got.”

Can I get a ruling on starting rumors about dead basketball players? And I have to disagree about baseball being for people over 50. Extra fiber is for the 50+ club. Baseball is for everybody as long as the umpires aren’t f’n up the games. I will say it was nice of Simmons to write Now I Can Die in Peacefor the seniors.
