"It's not every day that I'm blown away by a book about a sports
figure. But MICHAEL JORDAN: THE LIFE, by Roland Lazenby, ranks up
there with the very best: "The Boys of Summer" by Roger Kahn,
"Friday Night Lights" by Buzz Bissinger, and "Joe DiMaggio" by
Richard Ben Cramer. The depth of reporting, his frequent ascent
into poetry, and his intelligent analysis of the life of this
complicated, fascinating American icon deserve Pulitzer Prize
consideration. For the first time I understand what makes Michael
Jordan tick. I was captivated, fascinated and beguiled from
beginning to end." -- Peter Golenbock, "New York Times"-bestselling
author of "George" and "In the Country of Brooklyn"
The definitive biography of a legendary athlete
The Shrug. The Shot. The Flu Game.Michael Jordan is responsible for
sublime moments so ingrained in sports history that they have their
own names. When most people think of him, they think of his
beautiful shots with the game on the line, his body totally in sync
with the ball -- hitting nothing but net.
But for all his greatness, this scion of a complex family from
North Carolina's Coastal Plain has a darker side: he's a ruthless
competitor and a lover of high stakes. There's never been a
biography that encompassed the dual nature of his character and
looked so deeply at Jordan on and off the court -- until now.
Basketball journalist Roland Lazenby spent almost thirty years
covering Michael Jordan's career in college and the pros. He
witnessed Jordan's growth from a skinny rookie to the instantly
recognizable global ambassador for basketball whose business savvy
and success have millions of kids still wanting to be just like
Mike. Yet Lazenby also witnessed the Michael Jordan whose drive and
appetite are more fearsome and more insatiable than any of his fans
could begin to know. "Michael Jordan: The Life" explores both sides
of his personality to reveal the fullest, most compelling story of
the man who is Michael Jordan.
Lazenby draws on his personal relationships with Jordan's coaches;
countless interviews with Jordan's friends, teammates, and family
members; and interviews with Jordan himself to provide the first
truly definitive study of Michael Jordan: the player, the icon, and
the man.
