Mr. Jordan Goes To Washington

MR. JORDAN GOES TO WASHINGTON is an insiders view of the NBA and the machinations that went on around the retirement of basketball legend, Michael Jordan. Part fiction, part truth, it delves into the inner workings of the NBA and exposes us to Jeanne and her staff who are responsible for keeping the seats in the arenas filled and the stars' faces in the news. While one jarring suspenseful section deals with Michael Jordan being followed on the freeway another deals with messy stories about his personal life showing up in the tabloids. Jeanne must find out who is doing it. Is it an inside job?It is a well-written book with a rather slow plot but would be a great read for any basketball fan.

A little time had passed since Michael Jordan had retired from the NBA, but to his committed fans it seemed like an eternity. The league just didn't feel the same without him. Then low and behold he returned to the game of basketball to pose as the leader of the Washington Wizards. Michael Jordan in Washington D.C.! From his amazing performances on the court, to his positive endeavors off of the court, Michael Jordan continues to add on to the support of his admirers. Though in this book we are also exposed to another side of Jordan... the "behind-closed-doors" side!
