Category: Biography & Autobiography , Sports

In Hang Time, bestselling author Bob Greene shows us a side of Michael Jordan that doesn't make the sports page: the inside. Greene met Jordan and stepped into his remarkable world just as Jordan was reaching the apex of his talent and his fame. With Greene, Jordan let down his guard.Getting to know Jordan, traveling and spending time with him over two world championship seasons with the Chicago Bulls during glorious playoff surges and trying personal moments, not only provided Greene with an intimate look at Jordan but also taught him new lessons about grace and adversity, about what happens to a man when he is elevated to international heroism and is subjected to the relentless scrutiny that inevitably comes with that rarefied territory.Personal, anecdotal, and human, filled with the sound of Jordan's own voice in conversations with Greene that relate to life inside and outside of basketball, Hang Time is destined to become one of the handful of books about sports that will still be read decades after the moments they recount have passed. An extraordinary document of time spent with a champion, it is also the story of a growing friendship between two men, capturing Jordan's innermost feelings about his past, present, and future.
