Michael Jordan, la vita

"Michael Jordan, The Life," by Roland Lazenby. I listened to the audio book, which was excellent. At first I thought the biography was hagiographic, highlighting the incredible drive, sacrifice and overcoming the odds for Michael Jordan to achieve six rings and transform the NBA into the internation Leggi tutto

Fantastically written. Lazenby's work was masterful. Jordan is every bit as complex and fascinating as you'd expect. This bio is akin to Isaacson's bio of Steve Jobs in terms of scope and depth.

Lazenby's resear Leggi tutto

"He fallado una y otra vez en mi vida, por eso he conseguido el éxito." -Michael Jordan. Una obra apasionante de Mr. Lazenby que, con una documentación brutal sobre el tema, nos comparte toda la complejidad de la personalidad, ideología, hechos y momentos que hicieron de "Su Majestad" uno de los atle Leggi tutto
