On its 25th anniversary, relive the legend-stacked, dynasty-packed,
most iconic sports year ever with the athletes, teams, and more
whose collective influence affected every aspect of a generation of
sports and pop culture fans-Jordan, Shaq, Iverson, Kobe, Gretzky,
Tiger, Griffey, Jeter, Tyson, the Cowboys, the Yankees, the Bulls,
The Rock, Stone Cold, Kentucky, Florida, Agassi, Graf, the Williams
Sisters, Happy Gilmore, Space Jam, the Olympics in Atlanta,
Muhammad Ali, the Magnificent Seven and more! Take a rollicking
tour through the sports world of 1996, when debuts, comebacks,
movies, and pop culture crossover changed the sports landscape
forever. From college to the Olympics to the pros; from the NBA to
golf, tennis, and boxing, 1996 was home to athletes and teams who
were among the best marketed, most beloved, colorful, and greatest
in history. In 1996: A Biography, sportswriter and author Jon
Finkel uncovers the stories behind the stories while interviewing a
who's who of '96ers to reveal in thrilling detail how their
collective influence on sports and pop culture still resonates to
this day. For those of us who remember when Iverson, Kobe, The Rock
and Stone Cold, the MLS and the WNBA all debuted; when the US
Women's Olympic Gymnastics Team-the Magnificent Seven-won gold for
the first time in history; when Mike Tyson and Magic Johnson made
their comebacks; when MTV's Rock n' Jock, Michael Jordan's Space
Jam, and ESPN's Dan Patrick and Stuart Scott were the bomb; when
the Fun 'n' Gun offense changed college football; when Ken Griffey
Jr. ran for president (really! remember?); when Derek Jeter won
Rookie of the Year, Favre marched to his first Super Bowl and Jerry
Maguire had everyone saying "show me the money". . . . 1996 is a
sports time machine you've got to take for a spin.
