The Pulitzer Prizeâwinning journalist looks at the life and times of the Chicago Bulls superstarâ âThe best Jordan book so farâ (The Washington Post). One of sportâs biggest superstars, Michael Jordan is more than an internationally renowned athlete. As illuminated through David Halberstamâs trademark balance of impeccable research and fascinating storytelling, Jordan symbolizes the apex of the National Basketball Associationâs coming of age. Long before multimillion-dollar signings and lucrative endorsements, NBA players worked in relative obscurity, with most games woefully unattended and rarely broadcast on television. Then came Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, Jordanâs two great predecessors, and the gameâs status changed. The new era capitalized on Jordanâs talent, will power, and unrivaled competiveness. In Playing for Keeps, Halberstam is at his investigative best, delving into Jordanâs expansive world of teammates and coaches. The result is a gripping story of the athlete and media powerhouse who changed a game forever. Â This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam. |
