From the Publisher:
What were the unreported factors behind Michael Jordan's retirement from the NBA in 1993? Did he ever truly have a shot at making a Major League roster? Why did he return to basketball eighteen months later, and how did his teammates feel about it?
In Second Coming, Sam Smith delivers answers to these questions and more. By turns startling, provocative and humorous, the "story-behind-the-comeback-story" evokes as no other audio has the true nature of life under the NBA bigtop with the Chicago Bulls in center ring, and Michael Jordan as ringmaster.
By Sam Smith, author of the bestselling The Jordan Rules.
