Overall, a wonderful copy of this intimate tribute to Jordan. In Rare Air, Michael Jordan gives the reader a behind-the-curtain look at his life at a pivotal moment in his career, just after he and his Chicago Bulls achieved their first three-peat. Jordan is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time, winning six titles with the Bulls (1991-1993, 1996-1998) and revolutionizing the popularity of the game. In the book, Jordan comments openly about many aspects of his professional and private life, including his pregame ritual, family life, defensive strategies, approach to scoring, the pressures of being a role model, and more. The book was published just before his first retirement, and he even alludes to the possibility of retiring at the end of the book, writing, "It's never been for the money and it's never been for the cheers. If you don't believe me, then just watch. And take a good look, because one minute I'll be there and the next minute I'll be gone." Item #MJO001
