About this listen
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 Library section along with the audio.

Good overall read
it's not bad, performance is good and you get a fair amount of details. I'd have liked to have more input from Jordan himself. Clearly this author didn't have access to Jordan.

A listen for the ages
I grew up an avid Jordan fan. Basketball was my first sport of choice, space jam was a favorite growing up, and we all wanted to be like Mike. I've watched The Last Dance twice, this was just icing on the cake. The array of interviews, comments and quotes is incredible. it really shows the true character of the legend. recommend 100%

Amazing listen!
I have long wanted to read this book, and since we now have The Last Dance, I thought why not. Very happy to have read it now! Very detailed account of the GOAT.

A complete story of one of the greatest ever
Being a Michael Jordan fan sure helped me appreciate this book, but I'm fairly certain that anyone with at least a mild interest in sports will find Jordan's story interesting and inspiring.

If you enjoyed The Last Dance on Netflix !!!
This was fantastic. Really well documented. I love that you can go on you tube and watch as example Jordan's acceptance speech and form your own opinion.
my love for the NBA has been reignited and Michael Jordan is all heart

Good but not great
Loved when it was about Jordan and stories about him that were never made public. The first chapters could have been shorter, didn't need to know about his ancestors and all the details of his upbringing. If you want details to the max, this is the book for you

GET A DIFFERENT NARRATOR
The narrator didn't do the book any justice. I'm sure its a great book if you actually read because it's about the one and only but the narrator put me to sleep, literally.
