Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players (Basketball Biography Books) Kindle Edition

Good book with basic biographical information and statistics. However, I prefer the great chapter on Michael Jordan in the 2013-14 Book NBA’s 50 Greatest Basketball Players of All-time because it has more “creative” stats and charts. 50 Greatest also has outstanding and unmatched player summaries and analysts. In this book, there are also “fantastic” quotes afrom old-timers of the past. And the structure of this book is well put together.

Nowadays, when it comes to basketball the name on everybody’s lips is Lebron James. However, when I was growing up, if there was one athlete my friends and I looked up to with complete and utter awe, it was Michael Jordan. He represented what could be accomplished when you fully immersed yourself into becoming the best that you could be. Having said this, reading ‘Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players’ gave me a much deeper insight than I had ever known about the man who inspired us to follow aspirations. An avid reader, I love books, but usually tend to stay far away from biographies because they often come off stuffy and read like a list of facts with no genuine flow. Geoffrey’s unauthorized biography of Michael Jordan, however, is written in a way that makes you want to (digitally) turn the next page, just to find out more about a man who was and continues to be one of the most amazing athletes to enter the arena of sports. You feel like you are sitting with a friend who sat on the sidelines catching all of Michael’s moments, great or small, listening to him as he recounts every one of them hooking you in every step of the way. Definitely a great book to check out if you want to know more about the man who made the #23 the thing of legends.

This book is a great option to give to your kids especially if they’re basketball fanatics. It details how Michael Jordan started his basketball career and became the legacy and an icon that he is now. The author did a great job in researching and collecting facts that you can’t even find in a single book. If you're a fan of Michael Jordan or just basketball this book is a must read. Highly recommended!

I'm 20 pages into this book, and I've seen over a dozen grammatical errors thus far. Some are as simple as typing the wrong letter. Last book by this author that I will purchase.

The greatest basketball player of all time, businessman, and the star of beloved movie Space Jam, Michael Jordan is a figure that many still care about. This unauthorized bio was great in that the author was able to write it without sounding like a generic article. It provided insights into Jordan’s career including recounts of his greatest moments. I would highly recommend this book if you’re a fan of the original #23.

It's a book, so it's a subjective topic. Got it for my son, he liked it. I thought it was somewhat superficial in it's depth/coverage

The book is a list of Jordan's game statistics. It tells nothing about the individual. It should not be classified as a biography.

Disappointing. Was basically a box score with grammatical errors and incorrect information. According to the author Magic Johnson was removed from the Dream Team because he was HIV positive. That statement alone is reason enough for a 1 star rating.

More like a pamphlet than a book. Very simple language. Readers might be better trying another author or book.

Not what i was expected

Interesting read.

Would have liked more story about the person and his career and less stats.

Good read
