Why can't all sports books be like this? Halberstam is always aware that he's writing about Michael Jordan and basketball but that those two things only exist and work in a larger world that we all live in. Really the only thing this book was missing was the interviews Jordan was supposed to give Halberstam, which definitely would have strengthened it. -1 star because you can tell he's pro “we should all be colorblind” when it comes to race
