What is the crowd's opinion of Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made?

From 3.5 billion comments

If you guys are interested, there's already a book on the Bulls last season. It's called Playing for Keeps

It's written by the great David Halberstrom. He got full access to following the team that year. It's not just the last season but also mini biography on most of the players and coaches, but mostly centered around Jordan.

The book is really good and would have been even better if Jordan didn't renege on his promise to sit down after the season 1-1 with Halberstrom.

BTW, the book is really great at showing how much the players HATED Krause and how hard it was for Jackson to try to balance the stars and keeping management out of the way, all while coaching that year on his own expiring contract. It has other great details, like how at the end Reinsdorff would negotiate with Jordan 1-1, no one else, no agents. They'd sit in a room and work it out on their own.

Michael saved the NBA and made it into the juggernaut that it is today. Even the superstars at time, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were amazed by Jordan’s level of play. He had an entire brand built around him that is still around today. Air Jordans are still a top selling sneaker. There is a great book about Jordan’s influence: Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767904443/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_7PQYWZQX5A0AZFKNMCPK

I'm pretty sure it's Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made but it's been a while so I can't be certain.

Obviously there's spin, but that doc was pretty similar to playing for keeps - which is very well regarded:
