Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players (Basketball Biography Books)

I read this book with my 9 year-old - we both loved it! Great book.

Nowadays, when it comes to basketball the name on everybody’s lips is Lebron James. However, when I was growing up, if there was one athlete my friends and I looked up to with complete and utter awe, it was Michael Jordan. He represented what could be accomplished when you fully immersed yourself into becoming the best that you could be. Having said this, reading ‘Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players’ gave me a much deeper insight than I had ever known about the man who inspired us to follow aspirations. An avid reader, I love books, but usually tend to stay far away from biographies because they often come off stuffy and read like a list of facts with no genuine flow. Geoffrey’s unauthorized biography of Michael Jordan, however, is written in a way that makes you want to (digitally) turn the next page, just to find out more about a man who was and continues to be one of the most amazing athletes to enter the arena of sports. You feel like you are sitting with a friend who sat on the sidelines catching all of Michael’s moments, great or small, listening to him as he recounts every one of them hooking you in every step of the way. Definitely a great book to check out if you want to know more about the man who made the #23 the thing of legends.

Great products and awesome customer service

The greatest basketball player of all time, businessman, and the star of beloved movie Space Jam, Michael Jordan is a figure that many still care about. This unauthorized bio was great in that the author was able to write it without sounding like a generic article. It provided insights into Jordan’s career including recounts of his greatest moments. I would highly recommend this book if you’re a fan of the original #23.

I liked reading about his early childhood yrs and the competition he had with his brother..i just wish he would have retired for goof after his 6th championship. The wizards were a waste

Really good book

Great book highlighting a brief biography of the GOAT

Good book with basic biographical information and statistics. However, I prefer the great chapter on Michael Jordan in the 2013-14 Book NBA’s 50 Greatest Basketball Players of All-time because it has more “creative” stats and charts. 50 Greatest also has outstanding and unmatched player summaries and analysts. In this book, there are also “fantastic” quotes afrom old-timers of the past. And the structure of this book is well put together. Check out NBA’s 50 Greatest Basketball Players of All-time on http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00INWRXWK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_twi_2?qid=1421293982&sr=8-1

Good read

More like a pamphlet than a book. Very simple language. Readers might be better trying another author or book.

Would have liked more story about the person and his career and less stats.

Interesting read.

Not what i was expected
