This might not be what you're looking for, but I'm a new-ish (this is my 2nd year really following the nba) basketball fan and these are the things that have really helped me enjoy the game more.
Anyway I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I wish someone would have told this to me when I first started watching bball.
Buy this book. Its the ultimate book for an NBA fan. He/she will not be disappointed. Here is the link.
I found that More than a game by Phil Jackson was an excellent book. It basically is a look into the life and coaching philosophy of one of the greatest coaches of all time as well as an inside look into the 2000 champion Lakers.
Also the Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons is an essential read for all NBA fans.
EDIT: I recently also read the Jordan Rules by Sam Smith. It isn't a particularly eye opening book, but basically it's about the 1990-1991 NBA championship season from the Chicago Bulls perspective, and also a look into MJ's transformation from a ball hogging douchebag to the greatest of all time. Good read.
The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons - great history lesson on the NBA that is the perfect long read for people with short attention spans.
