The very best basketball books are written by Dick DeVenzio. These are the cornerstone of my basketball development and anyone not reading these are doing themselves a huge disservice. I should actually put these in the sidebar.

Think Like a Champion discusses the mental aspect of basketball. How to have the right attitude, developing your killer instinct, how to overcome adversity, dealing with bad teammates, slumps, how to train, etc.

Runnin the Show is about leadership in basketball (and also life). Really excellent about motivating teammates, getting the most of everyone around you, how to gain respect of your teammates, etc.

Stuff Good Players Should Know teaches a ton of small tips and tricks, basketball IQ, really just a lot of small, applicable things and provides you a new framework for thinking about the game. You'll realize "oh crap, it's possible to think about the game at this level!"

The other books people recommended are good and all (I've read most of them), but they don't even come close to these three. The other ones are more "fluffy" while these three talk directly about game situations and how to handle them. Devenzio's stuff is much more applicable. It's "in life, never take shortcuts. It's better to work hard" vs "If you're in a bad rebounding position you can push the guy under the rim instead of outwards because the only shots that go under the rim are made shots".
