The New York Times Bestseller, updated With a New Introduction

This is the 20th anniversary of the explosive bestseller that changed the way the world viewed one of the greatest athletes in history, revealing for the first time Michael Jordan's relentless drive to win anything and everything, at any cost. NBA Hall of Fame columnist Sam Smith had unlimited access to the team and its players during their championship 1991-92 season, which he details in the new introduction, along with candid revelations about his sources, and the reaction from Michael, his teammates, the media, and the fans when the book blasted onto the bestseller lists in 1992 (where it stayed for three months). With more than a million copies in print, The Jordan Rules remains the ultimate inside look at one of the most legendary teams in sports history.

Ratings and reviews

i heard so much about this book so i expected decent reading material but it was actually very well written and not just about Jordan as expected...

A great insight into a professional sports team with an undoubtedly global star.

True fans will love this exposé..
