MICHAEL JORDAN - ROLAND LAZENBY KARTONIERT (TB)

The definitive biography of a legendary athlete.    The Shrug. The Shot. The Flu Game. Michael
Jordan is responsible for sublime moments so ingrained in sports history that they have their
own names. When most people think of him  they think of his beautiful shots with the game on
the line  his body totally in sync with the ball -- hitting nothing but net.    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.    Basketball journalist Roland Lazenby spent almost thirty years covering
Michael Jordan's career in college and the pros. He witnessed Jordan's growth from a skinny
rookie to the instantly recognizable global ambassador for basketball whose business savvy and
success have millions of kids still wanting to be just like Mike. Yet Lazenby also witnessed
the Michael Jordan whose drive and appetite are more fearsome and more insatiable than any of
his fans could begin to know.    Michael Jordan: The Life explores both sides of his
personality to reveal the fullest  most compelling story of the man who is Michael Jordan.
Lazenby draws on his personal relationships with Jordan's coaches  countless interviews with
Jordan's friends  teammates  and family members  and interviews with Jordan himself to provide
the first truly definitive study of Michael Jordan: the player  the icon  and the man.
