Michael Jordan: The Life

Product Information

This list of books covers the life and career of Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time. It includes biographies, autobiographies, and other books about his life. I was saddened to read about the struggles he’s faced. His entire life has been dominated by his stardom, which has separated him from his humanity and ability to assume any sort of normal lifestyle. This has resulted in coping mechanisms like excessive gambling. For all the riches and fame he has acquired, MJ seems relationally like the poorest man I’ve ever heard of. I hope there are better, more fulfilling days ahead for him.

Remember where we started the discussion on instinct? Born bad, taught to be good? Welcome to your dark side. Deep inside you, there’s an undeniable force driving your actions, the part of you that refuses to be ordinary, the piece that stays raw and untamed. Not just instinct, but killer instinct. The kind you keep in the dark, where you crave things you don’t talk about. And you don’t care how it comes across to others because you know this is who you are, and you wouldn’t change if you could. Which you can’t, because no one really changes. <— This basically establishes the alpha male. You create a standard, along with expectations and then are required to meet it every day. Others don’t want that kind of pressure.] Celebrated sportswriter Sam Smith was there for the entire ride. He reveals a candid and provocative picture of Michael Jordan during the season in which his legacy began to be defined, and seeks to figure out what drove him.

Jordan’s impact on the game of basketball has been immense. His incredible athleticism and skill led to an unprecedented level of success on the court. He was the first player to be named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) five times, and he won six championships with the Chicago Bulls. In addition to his individual success, Jordan’s presence in the NBA gave the league a new level of credibility and respect. Chapter 14: When You're a Cleaner...You don't recognize failure; you know there's more than one way to get what you want.

In other words, be more prepared than everybody and be flexible so when things go wrong, you can be flexible and confident and trust your instincts at that point to bring about the best possible solution]. There are countless books on Michael Jordan, and it comes with good reason, he is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time, won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, and helped popularize the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s – becoming a global cultural icon in the process. But for all his greatness, this scion of a complex family from North Carolina's Coastal Plain has a darker side: he's a ruthless competitor and a lover of high stakes. There's never been a biography that encompassed the dual nature of his character and looked so deeply at Jordan on and off the court -- until now. the most important thing i liked about this book was that it helped me understand that even when you fail at something you keep trying until you succeed at it but while you fail you should always love the game for what it is not for what you want it to be. another thing i liked about this booked was that Michael Jordan became more of an inspiration to me because he wrote about all his experiences in detail and that helped me learn from things that i may come up against and will help me alot in the future for my own sporting career.
