Download Now Rebound: The Odyssey Of Michael Jordan Narrated By Bob Greene Accessible Through Bound Copy

the mind of the GOAT, Bob Greene writes what Jordan is thinking, You will read the story of his life and what was behind the decisions he took, A minibiography about Jordan's years between his retirement from basketball the first time and the filming of Space Jam.
This includes the entire baseball episode, which was very interesting, The author did have a relationship with Jordan, so there is a bit of personal introspection, but not enough in my opinion.
Michael Jordan is one of the most important basketball players in the world, Celebrated for his playing, for his lifestyle and for what he gets paid, every move he makes is news.
This biography and commentary on Jordan's journey through life has been written with his cooperation, It covers the last turbulent five years for Jordan, from the day his father was murdered through his decision to retire and on to his dramatic return to basketball, which electrified not only his team but the entire game.
If you were the best at what you do, maybe the best there ever was, would you walk away from being a god and choose a different stage where you put your weaknesses on daily display for the world to behold and judge What crisis in your life would demand such atonement Once a god becomes a mortal, can godhead ever be reclaimed Would you prefer to run forever or is it enough to feel the earth beneath your feet In "Rebound: the Odyssey of Michael Jordan," Bob Greene examines the psychology of Michael Jordan in the wake of the murder of his father as Jordan pursued the father/son baseball dream and then returned to the arena of his glory to see if he still commanded the stuff of legend.
Better than most Jordan books, probably because it's about him, but not by him, Still, off the basketball court he is, at best, intensely boring at worst, painfully annoying, We get it, you're competitive, Rebound is a much more than a sports book, Thus is a story that leads you on a path with one of the greatest sports icons that while grieving the loss of his father tries to fill that void by fulfilling a childhood dream.
While he almost does it and falls short many times, he also never gives up and ultimately finds his way back to where he wants to be.
Michael Jordan is portrayed as the example of how not to ever give up, and to always move forward.
Bob Greene has constructed a book that lets you see and feel everything that is going on in the life of Michael during his short life a baseball player with crystal clarity.
Highly recommended. I really enjoyed this book, It takes you into the personal side of a superstar, thru his baseball career and then his return to basketball.
Its always interesting to learn about the person beyond the games and stats, It feels good to know that someone of Jordans stature and accomplishments, experiences worry, doubt, and anxiety like the rest of us.
Good book. Very insightful. Greene gets a little too poetic and contemplative with his prose for his own good, but an easy, quick read nonetheless.
The book i'm reading is the rebound, The book is amazing so far i'm inpages in the book, The book is about Michael Jordan growing up with no father and how he has to grow up with no dad and be one of the best basketball starts/ athletes.
Michael Jordan dad. Michael dad was killed and thrown in a swamp in south Carolina in, Michael was hard growing up getting bullied by friends and because of his skin color, black. Michael also played baseball inwhen his dad died that was a hard time for us, Very good book which looks beyond Jordan's athletic abilities and into the odd life he has because of his celebrity.
Nonathletic interested persons will enjoy this book! When a writer first puts his pen to paper, there are a number of things that are being sought.
More than anything else, a writer wrestles with how to take something as complex as reality and reduce it into little, black, written letters printed on paper.
The writer wants to do this in such a way that the reader, when it is taken in, will use mental powers of the imagination, filter it, and then represent it within so that the original reality comes back alive.
In this book, Bob Greene has done just that, The thing that makes Greene's book most interesting, is that he met Jordan due to circumstances that were not really related to basketball.
He himself is not particularly a sports fan, But, what I will put forth is that Bob Greene is an artist, who upon, getting to know Michael Jordan, saw the beautiful artistry within his work.
Bob Greene intuited that he was in the midst of something that happens perhaps once every century or so.
He wanted to drink in that experience, He says as much in his comparisons of Jordan to Babe Ruth, This is the second that Greene has undertaken with Jordan, the first being “Hang Time, ” This book picks up with Jordan considering coming back to basketball after his initial retirement, Jordan was playing baseball, but it looked like there might be a players' strike, and Jordan didn't want to get caught up in a position where he might have been seen as being against the players.
There is a scene of Jordan playing basketball against B, J. Armstrong in a business suit, “just trying to see if he still had it, ” There were fans along the way in his drive in Chicago, who would see him and encourage him to come back.
Like the first book, Greene says that he is much more fascinated with the Jordan behind a closed door, talking about Life, than he is with the basketball player.
The personal friendship between the two men is what gives this book its charm and appeal, Greene is a sensitive writer and details this story excellently, There is another book, by another writer, that complements the two by Bob Greene, In Thomas D. Rush's “Reality's Pen: Reflections On Family, History amp Culture,” you will find an enticing view of Michael Jordan on pagein a piece called “Showing His Ass.
” It's a rich story of what Jordan means, The account is special, in part, because Rush shares three common attributes with Jordan,They both are products of North Carolina AfricanAmerican parents of the same generation,They both grow up in the same generationThey both live in Chicago at the time of the story.
The Jordan story is just one of the many rich stories within the book, combining with Bob Greene's work to give a very special vision of an extraordinary athlete.
I enjoyed this book however it was the same in terms of MJ's years of basketball into baseball and back into basketball that Sam Smith wrote about in his book.
Overall, good book. I believe Sam Smith had better insight as he probably had closer sources as well as being close to MJ.
any basketball fan would like this book, Rebound: The Odyssey Of Michael Jordan by Bob Greene, year, pages,

Personaly I think this book could be for anybody, There is not just one big main problem in this book but in this it talks about Michael Jordans trials on and off the court throughout his life.
The setting is mainly where most of NBA carreer was in Chicago but it takes place in other little spots too.
The setting in this book I dont think could be changed or else everything would be different considering it is a true life story about Michael.
Michael Jordan is the main character in this book, Many would agree that he is the best basketball player to ever play if not one of the best athletes ever.
They express his darkest times and his ways of becoming stronger from those times and working around themFathers Murder.


In this book it talks about the superstar nearly everybody has heard of one time or another.
He is know for his role as perhaps the best basketball player to ever play and one of the best athletes this world has ever had.
Most people know him for the numbers he put up during his career on the court but do we really know him and what his life is really like.
In this book in goes into on and off court coverage of Michael Jordan, It tells about some of his darkest times and hardest times of not making the varsity basketball team to his father death that really shook himself on and off the court.
This caused him to retire from the game and persue his dads dream of becoming a major league baseball player.
He later returned to the game of basketball, These challenges I read about him personaly showed me how he came back and not only became stronger on the court but as a person.
They told ways he overcame his trials,

I liked the book because it told me about the superstar off of the court, The quotes I liked from the book are "The basketball court for me, during a game is the most peaceful place I can imagine.
" and "I have failed over and over agin in my life, . . that is why I succeed", I think those two quotes really show the man he was and the motivation he had for himself to help hime be stronger and not afraid of those hard times in his life.
The theme for this book I think is when lifes hardest times hit you hard to the ground, get up and be stronger.
I think this book could be recommended to anybody, It tells about what people may already know about him but also about the man off of the court.
Overall I think his reciliance, hard work, and stength to come back after hard times really made him one of the best if not

THE BEST to ever play the game.
