There are so many ways to digest sports content these days, from TV shows and newspapers, to blogs and social media. I find the most relaxing way of exploring the wide world of athletics is the tried-and-true method of kicking back with a wonderful book.
In my childhood I voraciously pored through epic basketball tomes like “The Jordan Rules: The Inside Story of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls” by Sam Smith, and Phil Jackson’s “The Last Season: A Team In Search of Its Soul”. I was enamored with how the authors could reveal puzzle pieces of backstory that connected to larger narratives of character and will, unveiling the secrets behind the athletes I revered.
