Rob Warner reviewed Second coming by Sam Smith
Review of 'Second coming' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Interesting to go back and read this book several years later, after we know the greater context of three more championship rings, another retirement, an ill-advised third coming, an abusive HOF acceptance speech, and a front office career marked by terrible decisions. Not as powerful as Smith's The Jordan Rules, which blew up the boy scout persona that Jordan, Nike, and the media had built, but an interesting look nonetheless on the greatest basketball player ever trying to find his legs and his game, while everyone else tried to adapt and survive. This shouldn't be the only Jordan book you read, but it's a great look at that first post-baseball season.
