PLAYING FOR KEEPS
Michael Jordan and the World He Made
PLAYING FOR KEEPS captures the full measure of Michael Jordan's epic career, which remains one of the greatest American stories of our time.
A compelling narrative, filled with anecdotes and insights, this book chronicles the forces in Jordan's life that have shaped him into history's greatest basketball player, and gives readers a front row seat behind the controversial adversity the Chicago Bulls faced within its own franchise, plus the teams and cast of NBA Hall of Famers-- Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson-- they had to overcome on their journey to six NBA Championships.
Rich with his signature style of creating incisive, carefully woven human portraits of major figures, PLAYING FOR KEEPS, delivers a well-researched, dissection into the building of an American sports icon and it's effect on fame in America - what forces create it and its consequences.
David Halberstam won the Pulitzer for International Reporting for his coverage of the Vietnam War, as a staff writer for The New York Times. He was also the bestselling author of twenty books, including THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, his critically-acclaimed book on the origins of the Vietnam War, THE BREAKS OF THE GAME, 1981 Ballantine sports book about the Portland Trailblazers, and THE SUMMER OF '49, his book about the 1949 Pennant race between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. As a journalist, Halberstam has won just about every journalism award there is for his meticulously-researched coverage on history, politics, the Civil Rights Movement, and American culture. He passed away in April 2007.
