I didn't love this book, but also was in and out of reading it (wasn't consistent). Each chapter went through a month of the season so I didn't like the direction of the book. Felt like there was no big pictures and much of the same until the playoff chapters which were better. I also already knew the Jordan story so that was probably some of it. ( ) This book shows even a championship team with the greatest player of all time has crazy drama. It makes me doubt the fairness in basketball games (life?) and the integrity of our heroes. In the end we are all still people just drying to deal with our demons whether we are champions or just "ordinary" people. Interesting book that chronicles Jordan's first championship season with the Bulls. Slanted so that Jordan is seen to be infatuated with his own inflated ego engaging in fights with everyone near and far. Better about the Championship season itself than about Jordan who was in the process of becoming the greatest single player of his generation. New York Newsday An engaging, sometimes cruelly funny behind-the-scenes look at the Bulls' tantrum-and doubt-filled but finally triumphant journey to the NBA title. Chicago Sun-Times The Jordan Rules...might be the best sports book since Season on the Brink about Bob Knight. Newsweek Jordan boasts a wicked tongue, and not just when it's hanging out as he dunks....[He] manages to blurt out enough in Smith's book to reveal his own narcissistic, trash-talking, obsessively competitive side. Associated Press The Jordan Rules entertains throughout, but the most fun comes from just hanging out with the players. Smith takes us into the locker room, aboard the team plane and team bus, and seats us on the bench during games. Sometimes, books reflecting on a team's success don't reach the personal level with the people who made it happen: The Jordan Rules does. Fred Barnes (The McLaughlin Group) The American Spectator A riveting account...what you want in a sports book: the behind-the-scenes stuff, a peek at the private side of the players, their hobbies and politics and religion, the way they get along or don't...It's fair to compare The Jordan Rules with the campaign books that appear after every presidential race....The difference is not only that The Jordan Rules explains more persuasively than most of the campaign chronicles how the winner was decided -- it's that it does so more interestingly and with more understanding of the human heart. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
