Full of rags-to-riches stories, backroom dealings, mysterious injuries, and burner Twitter accounts, Tanking to the Top is the definitive, inside story of the Sixers' Process and a fun and lively behind-the-scenes look at one of America's most transgressive teams.

What The Reviewers Say

Fred Barnes,
The Wall Street Journal
The author’s analysis is convincing and his reporting thorough. Tanking to the Top is the best basketball book in years..
Mark Levine,
Booklist
...Weitzman, a journalist with Bleacher Report, points out that winning is not always the way to build championship teams.

Publishers Weekly
Weitzman...charts the Philadelphia 76ers’ rise from NBA atrocity to potential powerhouse in his dishy, punchy debut.
