    Description

    The definitive biography of the most legendary basketball player of all time.

    When 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's 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.

    PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

    Commentaires

    "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-best-selling author of George and In the Country of Brooklyn )

    horrible naration

    the naration was so bad, the guy sounded like a speak and spell. the story was detailed and pretty good but the end seemed like the author was bored (it's a long book)

    Eye Opener

    I loved it! I feel I know Jordan personally. I learned about things I never knew before about Jordan. it took me back to when I started following basketball.

    Sounds like Siri

    Really tough to listen to this book. The narrator may as well have been Siri. I was excited to listen to this book and now only put it on right before bed because I know it will put me to sleep.

    You don't know Jordan

    Beautifully written story of the man who changed the NBA. His successes as a player is less than half the story, with his many personal struggles off the court revealing he is indeed human like the rest of us.

    Average

    I thought this would include more about MJ’a personal life but it didn’t. I felt like it was repetitive at times and focused too much at the beginning on his ancestors. It was too drawn out for my liking but if you’re s huge MJ fan or Bulls fan that likes to know a lot of the behind the scenes dealings then you might enjoy it more.

    Solid on the basketball, light on the life

    I was hoping to learn more about the adult life of Jordan. Major life events were glossed over. His divorce was barely mentioned, to the point where if you weren't paying attention, you might have missed it.

    What kind of father is Jordan? Why did he do so much charity work?

    I have lots of questions. Perhaps because of Jordan's famous privacy the author couldn't address these questions.

    But the basketball stories...oh, the book is worth it just for that.

    The “Last Dance” fix

    If, like me, you’ve seen the Netflix documentary and you’re now in withdrawal, coming up short in every search for a much needed fix, this book is for you. Some parts might seem repetitive, but holistically it provides fresher insights with an underlying goal of peeling deeper into the greatness of the man- his otherworldly competitive drive.

    All I Hoped For and Much More

    If you were a sports fan in the 80's and 90's, or even if you just have an interest in Michael, you will not be thrilled with this book. Packed with details that begin with his family line 2-3 generations before his birth, the story still moves at a pace that never feels slow. Not even close. It was almost like watching one of Michael's legendary playoff performances on TV, every minute of it, with Marv Albert providing game commentary and Ahmad Rashad adding sideline stories. When it ended, I was satisfied, more than satisfied, but I wanted more. Ultimately, despite the author hardly holding back on sharing Michael's missteps and foibles in his illustrious life, I felt a surge of inspiration, appreciation, and desire to keep rooting for an athlete who I realized was so much more than that to me throughout my own life. Not to mention, the closest thing the sports world will ever see to a human superhero. EXCELLENT BOOK.

    Terrible

    I think I wanted to kick myself listening to the voice of this book Sounded like a damn robot, no heart, no point and no enthusiasm coming from the reader. I couldn't get through the pro log I skipped it and went to chapter 1 and it wasn't any better. Such a shame as I was looking toward to this. I'm not one for writing reviews but u had to warn you before you waste your money or credits... Proceed with caution that this is a very bad voice reading it

    A journey of a lifetime. Großartige Erinnerungen!

    Als Fan eine tolle Reise in die großartigen 90er Jahre, die Bulls Ära sowie mit Hintergrundinformationen, die sonst wohl nur schwer zu bekommen sind. Sehr langes und ausführliches Hörbuch. Klasse!

    Großartig

    Sehr detaillierte, kenntnis- und pointenreiche BIO des GOAT, in der amerikanischen Originalfassung packend und unterhaltsam. Spannende Familieninfo bis zu MJ's Urgroßvater und auch von der psychologischen Seite interessante Erklärungsansätze für den vielschichtigen Charakter dieses so sehr verehrten und missverstandenen Helden der 90er. Großartig!

    Must hear for all MJ #23 fans and Bball lovers

    liked about it, that it is in some way on certain parts a bit critical and not just a record of his career as a Bball player
