Description

The definitive biography of the most legendary basketball player of all timeWhen most people think of Michael Jordan, they think of the beautiful shots, his body totally in sync with the ball, hitting nothing but net. He is responsible for incredible moments so ingrained in basketball history that they have their own names: the Shrug, the Shot, the Flu Game. But for all his greatness, there's also a dark side to Jordan: a ruthless competitor, a gambler. There has never been a biography that balanced these personas-until now.Drawing on personal relationships with Jordan's coaches; countless interviews with friends, teammates, family members, and Jordan himself; and a career in the trenches covering Jordan in college and the pros, Roland Lazenby provides the first truly definitive study of Jordan: the player, the icon, and the man.

The Life is an interesting and easy to read account of Michael Jordan's life to now. What it has that other Jordan books don't is the benefit of time to fully appreciate his influence on sports, marketing, and business.The book analyzes the importance of the system over the individual (even if the person is the best ever), how drive is more important than talent, the challenges that sudden success has on family and the individual, how a small running shoe company became a worldwide sports juggernaut, and how the leaders that hired Jordan all came to believe and long for a chance to show that their systems could be successful without him.Jordan is a fascinating book about a man who is the best athlete of my generation that was smart, driven and lucky enough to make himself the symbol of sport. How he got there is worth the read.
