Follow the life of basketball legend Michael Jordan, one of the world's most recognizable athletes and living brands, inside this engaging and balanced biography.
David L. Porter has edited several reference books on sports, including the Biographical Dictionary of American Sports and Latino and African American Athletes Today: A Biographical Dictionary.
Porter traces basketball star Jordan's career, starting with his
formative years and education, then detailing his accomplishments
during his years with the Chicago Bulls, his transition into and
out of the Birmingham Barons, and his disappointing years with the
Washington Wizards. The book highlights his on-court
accomplishments, but also examines his disagreements with coaches
and management, and his role as an advertising figure. B&W
photos, a timeline, and an annotated bibliography of print and
nonprint sources are included. The length, format, and subject
areas of the bibliographies in the series are designed to meet
educators requirements for secondary school assignments.
