In "The Jordan Rules," Sam Smith offers a riveting exposé on the tumultuous 1990-1991 season of the Chicago Bulls, a pivotal year that not only redefined Michael Jordan's legacy but also solidified the Bulls' dynasty in NBA history. Through Smith's vivid narration, readers are granted an all-access pass behind the scenes, where the veneer of invincibility surrounding Jordan and his teammates is peeled back to reveal the raw, unfiltered reality of professional sports. From the intense rivalries and internal conflicts to the strategic triumphs on the court, this book captures the essence of what it took for Jordan and the Bulls to transcend their limitations and achieve greatness. Smith, with unparalleled insight, delves into the psyche of Michael Jordan, presenting a complex portrait of a man driven by an insatiable desire to win, often at any cost. "The Jordan Rules" not only explores Jordan's contentious relationships with his coaches and teammates but also highlights the intricate dynamics within the Bulls' organization. Through candid interviews and firsthand accounts, Smith paints a detailed picture of the challenges and triumphs faced by Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen, and the rest of the team, offering readers a nuanced understanding of the sacrifices necessary to secure their place at the pinnacle of NBA history. This is more than just a sports book; it's a compelling narrative about ambition, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

[One of the] books on [Larry Ellison's] nightstand. - Julian Guthrie
If you spend time wishing you had other players and scheming to get rid of them or not being loyal, either you end up hating them or they end up hating you, and that cannot be productive.
