Hardcover
(Harper Collins June 1, 1995)
Describes, in great detail, the tidal shifts in Michael Jordan's psyche; the role of Jordan's father in causing him to take up & then abandon baseball; Jordan's purchase of a handgun & increased use of bodyguards & handlers; & his sometimes supportive, frequently scathing treatment of teammates. Depicts the subtle motivations that drive owner Jerry Reinsdorf; Scottie Pippen's slow boil over the team's personnel decisions; coach Phil Jackson's behind-the-scenes lobbying on behalf of Jordan & season-long frustration; & the complexity of Jordan s ''supporting cast'' as the team began its 1996-1997 season.
