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 My Library section along with the audio.

Unbelievable!!
Would you listen to Michael Jordan again? Why?
I have been a MJ fan for a long long time and even I did not know the level of competitiveness that this man needs to survive..I have to hear it again because there were parts I could not believe he was human.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Michael Jordan?
Preety much every championship he won.
What does Bob Souer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Great voice.Somehow it fits in with the 90's timeline.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It left me in awe.

Top story, poorly read
Amazing insightful story which highlights the ups and downs of a great man. It brought back a lot of memories of my childhood and one of my heroes. The only downside is the narrator who sounds quite robotic

It’s ok. A story about the greatest player ever.
I liked this. It was really interesting but it did go on and on about scores of games and the running commentary of the games. I am oils of liked to know more about the drive of this man. Why, he acted the way he did with gambling? For a 20 hour audiobook, it left questions unanswered.
