But Jordan shares the book’s pages with a marvelously colorful and vivid cast of characters because Lewis’s life has been a charmed trip. And he appreciates it fully. In part, this book was born of a late-in-life health scare, which he details here. “That’s right,” he says. “My near-death experience reaffirmed for me how precious every moment in life is.”
This path is peppered, understandably, with prominent names. There’s Jordan and Dennis Rodman and Phil Jackson; White Sox players Carlton Fisk, Wilbur Wood and Greg Luzinski, announcers/characters Jimmy Piersall and Harry Caray, and the towering owner Bill Veeck, about whom Lewis writes, calling him unforgettable, “no one was more multifaceted and captivating.
OK, then, I know what you are thinking and so here’s some more Jordan, even as Lewis writes, “What was Michael Jordan really like? That was far and away the most often-asked question during my time with the Bulls. The answer is not simple.”“Michael was once asked if he had bought a gift for Dennis Rodman’s upcoming birthday. Given Dennis’s rather bawdy reputation, Michael replied, ‘I didn’t think I could go into places from where Dennis would want a birthday present.
From a moment during a Bulls championship, ““I scooped up some confetti … to save as a memento and headed for the locker room. … Champagne was being sprayed everywhere and on everyone. … It was a full-fledged mob scene.” This is not his first book. He has a handsome pile of them, consisting of “Invitation to Joy: Viewing Birds on Seven Continents,” “Seeing More Colors: A Guide to a Richer Life” and “One World: A View of Seven Continents.” These are packed with photos, for having learned to use a camera in the Air Force, photography became one of his passions.
