Jumpman: The Making and Meaning of Michael Jordan Smith Johnny
How Michael Jordan's path to greatness was shaped by race, politics, and the consequences of fameTo become the most revered basketball player in America, it wasn't enough for Michael Jordan to merely excel on the court. Yet building this narrative came at a cost. He also had to become something he never intended: a hero.As Jordan ascended as an NBA champion, his story assured the public that meritocracy and hard work still mattered.
In the process of achieving greatness, he remade himself into a paradox: universally known, yet distant and unknowable.Blending dramatic game action with grand evocations of the social forces sweeping the early nineties, In Jumpman, sports historian Johnny Smith reveals how Jordan guarded his politics and personal life, allowing him to seem more likable to Americans who wanted to believe that race no longer mattered.
