These don't count?

Halberstam's pretty keen on Jordan, but even he lists off some repugnant behavior.

I found that More than a game by Phil Jackson was an excellent book. It basically is a look into the life and coaching philosophy of one of the greatest coaches of all time as well as an inside look into the 2000 champion Lakers.

Also the Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons is an essential read for all NBA fans.

EDIT: I recently also read the Jordan Rules by Sam Smith. It isn't a particularly eye opening book, but basically it's about the 1990-1991 NBA championship season from the Chicago Bulls perspective, and also a look into MJ's transformation from a ball hogging douchebag to the greatest of all time. Good read.

"Last decade" -

Book of Basketball

Dream Team

When the Game was Ours

Not Last Decade, but you should read anyway -

The Jordan Rules

u/RegMackworthy · 2 pointsr/nba

I like books where the author spends a season with a team and Seven Seconds or Less about the Nash/Marion/Amare Suns is a really fun read.

Not from this decade, and it's a lot longer and more serious material, but I highly recommend The Jordan Rules as well.

If you're going to scream Bull shit, you should be certain of what you talk about. Without a doubt, Jordan introduced long shorts and everyone til this day in the NBA copies it. Read The Jordan Rules if you want the history. Jordan wore his North Carolina jerseys under his game shorts for every game. Nike even mentioned it in a commercial he made with Spike Lee.

Edit: Here, read this.

Jordan was absolutely not a leader. I stand by that. Pick up a copy and read The Jordan Rules or Blood On The Horns and I think you'll agree. Was he the Chicago Bulls best player? Absolutely. But this guy punched Steve Kerr in the face, never spoke a word to Dennis Rodman, punched Will Purdue in the face a couple of times, was a dick to and tried to sabotage the career of Bill Cartwright, conned Pippen out of some money, etc. If Jordan played under the watchful eye of today's media, featuring Twitter and Reddit, he would be known as a locker room cancer.

The "myth" is that it was Jordan that won those championships. He went 1-9 in playoff games without Scottie Pippen. To make matters more interesting, Pippen and the Bulls won 55 without Jordan and made the game 7 of the 1993 WCF. MJ played six seasons without winning a championship. Would he have been able to get a ring without his supporting cast and the systems of Phil Jackson? Sure. One? Maybe two? But it's a myth that those Bulls won six championships because of Jordan. One would be more justified suggesting Jordan won six rings because of those Bulls and Phil Jackson.

Edit: Just want to add that I feel like Phil Jackson's systems, and MJ buying into said systems, is what moved Jordan from best of his era, to arguably best of all time. My point with all of this wasn't to further expose MJ, it was to suggest that great players (such as WB) need to buy into quality systems to transcend into elite/generational talents.

Read any book about the NBA at that time ie the Jordan Rules, The Franchise by Stauth, etc.

I know many of you don't remember the 80s at all, or were probably not even born. But before Phil Jackson took over the Bulls, Jordan was widely regarded as an elite, flashy scorer in the late 80s, but a selfish ballhog that only cared about scoring, didn't give a damn about his teammates, and was out to pad his numbers.

It's what fueled him - making him think everyone was against him and he had something to prove. It worked clearly, but socially not so much. Check out the book The Jordan Rules.

Read "The Jordan Rules" and see if you still feel that way.
