Lazenby's bona fide credentials provide exclusive access to Jordan's inner circle following the DC fiasco to reveal the hapless Bobcats' owner living lavishly while still frustrated with mere mortals. Slam

MJ's life is a movie worth watching again, and Lazenby adds enough deleted scenes to add some oomph to the familiar story. --<b><i><em>Booklist</em></b></i>

It's not every day that I'm blown away by a book about a sports figure. But MICHAEL JORDAN: THE LIFE, by Roland Lazenby, ranks up there with the very best: The Boys of Summer by Roger Kahn, Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger, and Joe DiMaggio by Richard Ben Cramer. The depth of reporting, his frequent ascent into poetry, and his intelligent analysis of the life of this complicated, fascinating American icon deserve Pulitzer Prize consideration. For the first time I understand what makes Michael Jordan tick. I was captivated, fascinated and beguiled from beginning to end. Peter Golenbock, New York Times -bestselling author of George and In the Country of Brooklyn
