Summary Annotation A revealing portrait of a once-in-a-generation athlete and global icon One of sports biggest superstars, Michael Jordan is more than an internationally renowned athlete. As illuminated through David Halberstams trademark balance of impeccable research and fascinating storytelling, Jordan symbolizes the apex of the National Basketball Associations 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, Jordans two great predecessors, and the games status changed. The new era capitalized on Jordans talent, will power, and unrivaled competiveness. In Playing for Keeps, Halberstam is at his investigative best, delving into Jordans expansive world of teammates and coaches. The result is a gripping story of the athlete and media powerhouse who changed a game forever.This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.
