Playing for Keeps
The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist looks at the life and times of the Chicago Bulls superstar— “The best Jordan book so far” (The Washington Post). One of sport’s biggest superstars, Michael Jordan is more than an internationally renowned athlete. As illuminated through David Halberstam’s trademark balance of impeccable research and fascinating storytelling, Jordan symbolizes the apex of the National Basketball Association’s coming of age. Long before multimillion-dollar signings and lucrative endorsements, NBA players worked in relative obscurity, with most games woefully unattended and rarely broadcast on television. Then came Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, Jordan’s two great predecessors, and the game’s status changed. The new era capitalized on Jordan’s talent, will power, and unrivaled competiveness. In Playing for Keeps, Halberstam is at his investigative best, delving into Jordan’s expansive world of teammates and coaches. The result is a gripping story of the athlete and media powerhouse who changed a game forever. This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.

Summary of David Halberstam's Playing for Keeps
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Bulls’ games in Paris were not very good, and they lost the Final to Olympiakos Piraeus. However, the tournament was a reflection of the growing internationalization of the sport, and a celebration of the NBA’s connection with McDonald’s, one of America’s blue-chip companies. #2 Ebersol and Stern were very close, and it was Ebersol’s company that determined which images went out to the nation. Ebersol understood that image was more important than reality in their business. #3 In the wake of the last game of the 1997-1998 season, a black man named Micheal Ray Richardson came to David Stern and told him that if it hadn’t been for him, he would have kept on using. He was clean now. #4 Michael Jordan was the most popular athlete in the nineties. He was well-known and well-liked by millions of people around the world. He was the most talented and charismatic athlete, and he was also the most successful.
