Michael Jordan's Surprising Talent, tested in Biography Books... (Basketball Reads) We recently delved into "Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players" and found ourselves captivated by his unexpected journey. While famous for his aerial prowess, the biography reveals a lesser-known facet: Jordan’s relentless practice with defensive drills. It turns out, his relentless scoring wasn’t just magic—it stemmed from a disciplined work ethic honed on the defensive end, which we hadn’t fully appreciated. The book details how these overlooked sessions honed his court sense and precision, weaving skill and strategy into his legendary game. It’s a reminder that greatness isn’t accidental, nor is extraordinary talent confined to a single sphere. For us, it underscored the depth of Jordan’s training and reinforced why biography books remain such valuable basketball reads.
