Book Reviews of Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made
Book Review: An informative and enlightening look at a very public man
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Jordan is the most famous American in the world, yet David Halberstam's book still manages to tell me things I never knew about him. His competition with his older, and shorter brother. Where the trademark "tongue through the teeth" look came from. The way he used negative comments of others to motivate him to improve his game. That's just for starters. It's an addictive and entertaining read - and a must-have for Jordan and Halberstam fans alike.
