Summary
En la temporada de 1990-1991， el célebre periodista Sam Smith tuvo un acceso privilegiado al interior de la franquicia de los Chicago Bulls ―algo impensable hoy en día― y lo aprovechó para escribir uno de los mejores libros de deporte de la historia， "Las reglas de Jordan"， donde reveló los secretos inconfesables de un año convulso que marcaría el futuro de la NBA。 Intenso， fascinante y escandaloso a partes iguales， "Las reglas de Jordan" lo abarca todo: desde las tormentosas relaciones de Jordan con sus entrenadores y compañeros de equipo， las luchas de poder con la directiva， en particular con Jerry Krause， su obsesión por ser el máximo anotador， su negativa a compartir el balón en los minutos cruciales de los grandes partidos。。。 El propio Jackson ―el gurú que， tras un inicio dubitativo， encontró la tecla que los llevó al éxito― y los compañeros de equipo de Michael， desde Scottie Pippen hasta Horace Grant pasando por Bill Cartwright o John Paxson entre otros， también cuentan su versión de los hechos。 Y no se quedan cortos。 "Las reglas de Jordan" sorprende por su intensidad， tensión y ritmo narrativo， pero sobre todo destaca por cómo es capaz de transportarnos al vestuario， al avión del equipo， al autobús， al banquillo， y hacernos sentir como si estuviéramos allí。 Granular y personal como pocos， este libro marcó un antes y un después en la carrera del astro de Wilmington y en la percepción que el gran público tenía de él。

This was quite a treat to read for the first time， thirty years after the fact。 It is a sentimental journey to a time when the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan were still looking for redemption and their first NBA Championship after years of elimination by the hated rival Detroit Pistons。 I was， back then and now， a big Pistons fan and it was intriguing to me to hear it all from the Bulls angle。Sam Smith did a great job both researching and writing this book。 I’m surprised at how blunt the book This was quite a treat to read for the first time， thirty years after the fact。 It is a sentimental journey to a time when the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan were still looking for redemption and their first NBA Championship after years of elimination by the hated rival Detroit Pistons。 I was， back then and now， a big Pistons fan and it was intriguing to me to hear it all from the Bulls angle。Sam Smith did a great job both researching and writing this book。 I’m surprised at how blunt the book is on the Chicago Bulls personnel and their opinions。 Smith for the most part stays away from off-the-field/personal life shenanigans but he tells it exactly like it is on the court。 The background stories are outstanding， I really gained a better understanding of all the players and coaches。I recommend this for any big NBA fan who is interested in that era。 When you think of all the things that happened to the Bulls， Jordan， and the NBA after the 1991 NBA season， this book serves as an effective time capsule to establish the starting point。 。。。more

This was a very interesting book。 Michael Jordan is my favorite basketball player ever。 It is interesting to know what went on between him and the team。 I have read many books about Michael Jordan and the 90's Chicago bulls and this has to be the best one by far。 This books contains many statistics and many important events about the history of the Chicago bulls。 This book not only talks about the team but also about management and the disagreements that goes on between them。 In my opinion it's This was a very interesting book。 Michael Jordan is my favorite basketball player ever。 It is interesting to know what went on between him and the team。 I have read many books about Michael Jordan and the 90's Chicago bulls and this has to be the best one by far。 This books contains many statistics and many important events about the history of the Chicago bulls。 This book not only talks about the team but also about management and the disagreements that goes on between them。 In my opinion it's a great book！ 。。。more

Entertaining behind the scenes look into the tumultuous ‘90-‘91 Chicago Bulls

1990-91 was the first season when the Chicago Bulls won the NBA Championship led by Michael Jordan。 It was also the year when the journalist Sam Smith， as a reporter for the 'Chicago Tribune'， had followed them over these exciting few months， before revealing here his experience in a little book which caused quite a stir back in its days。。。 The thing is， the author goes behind the stardom and the glam to expose a team then in a constant state of flux， tumultuous， and revolving so much around on 1990-91 was the first season when the Chicago Bulls won the NBA Championship led by Michael Jordan。 It was also the year when the journalist Sam Smith， as a reporter for the 'Chicago Tribune'， had followed them over these exciting few months， before revealing here his experience in a little book which caused quite a stir back in its days。。。 The thing is， the author goes behind the stardom and the glam to expose a team then in a constant state of flux， tumultuous， and revolving so much around only one player （Michael Jordan）， whose ego was so over-the-top that， one might wonder how they bloody managed to even win a championship！ Here's indeed a deep investigation， throwing a bluntly honest light upon the Bulls， questioning its various architects evolving then at various levels， to display， without any naive adulation， the challenges faced by such a team at such a high level。 The book， of course， is mostly centred around Michael Jordan。 The title is， in fact， an hint to Chuck Daly's strategy （then coach of the Bulls' nemesis -the Detroit Pistons） in order to counteract the legend on the court。 It's also an hint to the fact that， even within his own team， Jordan beneficiated of privileges otherwise denied to his teammates， a favouritism which， as the author demonstrates， had plagued the Bulls for quite a while by undermining their team spirit。 Fans， then， will appreciate: here is exposed a great player for who he truly was， an incredible athlete whose feats on the court were also the product of a unpleasant personality -arrogance， pride， selfishness， and such a high competitive spirit it bordered on the ridiculous。Having said that， Jordan is far from being the only one getting portrayed 'unkindly'， even if respectfully in regards to his deeds as a player。 In fact， here's a book which worth a read for exposing how many are in the world of sports at such a high level: egocentric athletes， the worshipping of the king $$， poisonous consumerism， fetishist and/ or hysterical medias。。。 It's also fascinating， obviously， for its historical interest。 Here indeed we also see coming into shape， slowly， the dynamic which will make the Bulls invisible -from Jordan maturing under Phil Jackson's coaching to Scottie Pippen finding his place within the puzzle， or， again， the multiple attempts （at times laughable） to buy Toni Kukoc。。。 Going even beyond the 1990-91 season to put it into perspective within a whole history， the author also describes some key games with both a punchy style and poetry， retelling victories won over Detroit， LA， New-York。。。 It's a pure regal for anyone who loves the game， and will bring back memories to whose who had the luck to see them！ Fascinating and multi-layered （Jordan himself， the Bulls as a team， professional sports。。。） here's a read that anyone enjoying sports without being of a naivety as to what such world involves will surely appreciate！ 。。。more

Very good and enlightening view on Jordan before he became the myth we know him as。 The year before they won their championship and an amazing look behind the curtain of life we don't see anymore。 Great read and will definitely change your perception of Mike afterwards。 Very good and enlightening view on Jordan before he became the myth we know him as。 The year before they won their championship and an amazing look behind the curtain of life we don't see anymore。 Great read and will definitely change your perception of Mike afterwards。 。。。more

Las reglas de JordanNo hay mejor testimonio de lo que pasa en un vestuario de un equipo de la elite del basquet， que este libro。 El periodista deportivo Sam Smith acompañó al equipo liderado por Jordan a lo largo de una temporada， la temporada en la que los Bulls lograrían su primer anillo。 Sam Smith nos presenta a la perfección a todos los integrantes de aquel grupo entrenado por el técnico Phil Jackson， construido por el controvertido director deportivo Jerry Krause y que contaba con estrellas Las reglas de JordanNo hay mejor testimonio de lo que pasa en un vestuario de un equipo de la elite del basquet， que este libro。 El periodista deportivo Sam Smith acompañó al equipo liderado por Jordan a lo largo de una temporada， la temporada en la que los Bulls lograrían su primer anillo。 Sam Smith nos presenta a la perfección a todos los integrantes de aquel grupo entrenado por el técnico Phil Jackson， construido por el controvertido director deportivo Jerry Krause y que contaba con estrellas como Scottie Pippen， Horace Grant， Bill Cartwright y por supuesto el propio Jordan。El libro seguirá al equipo de Chicago a lo largo de toda la temporada， mes a mes y partido a partido， entrando en el vestuario， los entrenamientos， los partidos， las concentraciones y los despachos。 Podremos conocer todas las interioridades y anécdotas。Y se centrará sobretodo en la figura del que probablemente sea el mejor jugador de la historia del basquet， Michael Jordan。 Un jugador amado por los aficionados y el público en general， pero odiado por muchos de sus rivales y sus propios compañeros。Las reglas de Jordan es el nombre que los Detroit Pistons， la bestia negra de aquellos Bulls， llamaron a la táctica para desquiciar a Jordan en los partidos。 Pero para los integrantes de los Bulls， la reglas de Jordan eran todas las imposiciones y dinámicas que el alero sometía el equipo。 Jordan imponía su propia ley en el vestidor， insultando y menospreciando a sus compañeros y técnicos， desoyendo instrucciones y comportándose en muchos momentos como un niño malcriado， que cree que todo gira alrededor de él。El libro que fue publicado en el 91， no había llegado a nuestro país hasta que la editorial Contra lo publico este mismo mes。 Una apuesta de la editorial por una obra que nos descubre a la perfección este lado oscuro que muchos intuían pero pocos conocían。 Un relato perfecto del deporte de élite， de la presión competitiva， de las relaciones entre deportistas， de lo que pasa en los despachos， en los fichajes。 Una forma perfecta de descubrir todo lo que se esconde tras el espectáculo， sea cual sea el deporte。 Posiblemente el mejor libro sobre deporte de la historia。5/5Si os interesa tanto el personaje como el equipo， que consiguió hasta seis anillos de la NBA， podéis saber más en la genial serie documental “El último baile” de Netflix 。。。more

A really interesting behind the scenes look at the 1991 Chicago Bulls season。 I really enjoyed reading about the turmoil between all the players and how they were able to （spoiler alert） win the NBA Finals despite the fact that most of the players did not get along/like each other。 Also very interesting to read about Jordan and his general attitude to basketball/people and to realize how different he is。 I gained a new appreciation for Phil Jackson and how his job was a lot more difficult than h A really interesting behind the scenes look at the 1991 Chicago Bulls season。 I really enjoyed reading about the turmoil between all the players and how they were able to （spoiler alert） win the NBA Finals despite the fact that most of the players did not get along/like each other。 Also very interesting to read about Jordan and his general attitude to basketball/people and to realize how different he is。 I gained a new appreciation for Phil Jackson and how his job was a lot more difficult than he probably gets credit for。 One of my favorite books I’ve read in awhile！ 。。。more

I am Peyton O’Connor， and a typically horrible reader， but whenever I read something related to sports I get fixated to keep reading with no questions asked。 The book I chose was Jordan Rules by Sam Smith， a writer for the Chicago Bulls。 Smith in some ways， made me like Jordan more throughout the book。 Beyond the pull of his puppeteers， he is indeed human。 He grows and humble as Jordan’s career went in later into his playing days。 It also goes into detail as to what happened throughout his time I am Peyton O’Connor， and a typically horrible reader， but whenever I read something related to sports I get fixated to keep reading with no questions asked。 The book I chose was Jordan Rules by Sam Smith， a writer for the Chicago Bulls。 Smith in some ways， made me like Jordan more throughout the book。 Beyond the pull of his puppeteers， he is indeed human。 He grows and humble as Jordan’s career went in later into his playing days。 It also goes into detail as to what happened throughout his time on and off the court， as well as going on about his personal life that he had to deal with。 On the court things discussed in the book show how true a leader Jordan was as well as disciplined enough to get on his own teammates to improve so they can win it all and get past their rival Detroit Pistons。In the spring of 1990， the Chicago Bulls fell to the Detroit Pistons in the NBA playoffs for the third consecutive season。 But the Bulls had their strongest team ever going into the 1990-91 campaign and looking to get over their past playoff failures and claim their elusive first championship。 Sam Smith chronicles how the club attained its long-sought goal that year in "The Jordan Rules。"Smith profiles coach Phil Jackson， superstar Michael Jordan， and the rest of the key players on the team throughout his account of the long campaign。 The author notes some of the moves that the Bulls did and did not make to build their title team。 Those who remember this book coming out in the winter of 1992 recall that most of the commentary about "The Jordan Rules" back then focused on Jordan's mistreatment of his teammates， and some of the vignettes on that score are indeed worse than just normal razzing。 。。。more

Interesting perspective， Phil Jackson and the coaches are the stars of the book。 （sum of） Jersey numbers of refs constitute their abilities- hmm…

It was a great read and companion piece to the documentary The Last Dance。 I recommend both to better understand the bulls and Jordan。

An amazingly comprehensive， and in depth look at the 1990-1991 Bulls championship team。 Sam Smith does a great job of not only giving the play-by-play of important games and series and events， but also gives great description of each member of the team。 I came away with an even more profound respect for Phil Jackson — you will too —， and If you read this book you’ll come to learn how integral Horace Grant was to this dynasty。

Overlong and a bit tedious — though it's probably hurt by so much of its content becoming common knowledge to basketball fans in the 25+ years since its publication。 Overlong and a bit tedious — though it's probably hurt by so much of its content becoming common knowledge to basketball fans in the 25+ years since its publication。 。。。more

This is the third riveting book about a team I didn't like that I've read this year。 I was never a Bulls fan， but this is solid， behind the scenes look at the beginning of a dynasty。 As a person whose world revolved around the Association in those days， it was a fun trip back in time--the names alone stirred great memories。 A great book for anyone like me that considers the 80s and 90s to be the golden days of professional basketball。 This is the third riveting book about a team I didn't like that I've read this year。 I was never a Bulls fan， but this is solid， behind the scenes look at the beginning of a dynasty。 As a person whose world revolved around the Association in those days， it was a fun trip back in time--the names alone stirred great memories。 A great book for anyone like me that considers the 80s and 90s to be the golden days of professional basketball。 。。。more

Sam Smith， periodista del Chicago Tribune encargado de cubrir la actualidad de los Bulls durante principios de la década de 1990， nos adentra en el vestuario de Chicago durante la temporada 1990-91， el año del primer campeonato de los Bulls en la NBA。Smith no se centra tanto en los aspectos deportivos o técnico-tácticos como en abrir una puerta al vestuario y enseñarnos cómo fueron las cosas en el interior del equipo durante esta difícil pero apasionante temporada。 En una línea cronológica que a Sam Smith， periodista del Chicago Tribune encargado de cubrir la actualidad de los Bulls durante principios de la década de 1990， nos adentra en el vestuario de Chicago durante la temporada 1990-91， el año del primer campeonato de los Bulls en la NBA。Smith no se centra tanto en los aspectos deportivos o técnico-tácticos como en abrir una puerta al vestuario y enseñarnos cómo fueron las cosas en el interior del equipo durante esta difícil pero apasionante temporada。 En una línea cronológica que arranca con la derrota de los Bulls ante los Pistons en los playoff de 1990， Smith nos va relatando cómo， pese a los problemas internos， el choque de egos， las envidias， rencillas y doble rasero el equipo， gracias a su talento y a la inusual pero efectiva dirección de Phil Jackson， va logrando ganar encuentros y encontrar una forma de superar no sólo a sus rivales， sino a sus propios fantasmas。Un libro para reflexionar sobre cómo es el deporte profesional y sus estrellas， cuáles son las prioridades， cómo son las relaciones entre jugadores， cuerpo técnico y directiva y para conocer un poco más en profundidad a las personas tras los deportistas。 Pese a que no existe edición en español， Sam Smith escribe de forma muy periodística， con frases cortas， sencillas， directas y sin grandes florituras en su prosa， lo que permite seguir fácilmente el relato cualquiera con un conocimiento medio del idioma。 。。。more

The perfect timing for an in-depth book on Michael Jordan and the 90s Bulls right as they were on the precipice of their dynasty。 While winning those titles seemed like a fait accompli in retrospect， there were serious doubts and struggles along the way， which Sam Smith chronicles beautifully。

Another insightful book of the Chicago Bulls。 It’s not anything new that we don’t know already however it does make the ‘90-‘91 Bulls seem。。。。human。 Lots of details about this team and their chemistry and all the trials they had to get through。 Shows you the nitty gritty of the team that seemed to pull together to win a NBA championship。 Definitely a good read to expand your knowledge on this champion Bulls team。

I started reading this book after the Last Dance was released to TV。 The book was mentioned there and I wanted to know more about the Bulls during the Championship runs in the 1990s。 This book takes place only during the first championship against the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991 and is very well written and is an excellent story。 The details the author gets into about some of the players and coach Phil Jackson are very interesting。 One of the best NBA players of all time is Michael Jordan and the I started reading this book after the Last Dance was released to TV。 The book was mentioned there and I wanted to know more about the Bulls during the Championship runs in the 1990s。 This book takes place only during the first championship against the Los Angeles Lakers in 1991 and is very well written and is an excellent story。 The details the author gets into about some of the players and coach Phil Jackson are very interesting。 One of the best NBA players of all time is Michael Jordan and the aspects that made him different are recognized in this book。 It makes us realize that people who are the very best at what they do are just different types of individuals and the rules they live by are not what we all can follow。 The author does a great job in this book and it is very easy to follow and understand。 I highly recommend it even if you don’t like basketball or know much about sports。 It is not too long but long enough to make you want to spend a good amount enjoying what is written。 。。。more

The perfect addition if you liked the Netflix docu 'the last dance'。 This books adds a bit more salt to the whole 'Jorden is awesome' documentary by showing the less popular side of having Jordan in your team。 The perfect addition if you liked the Netflix docu 'the last dance'。 This books adds a bit more salt to the whole 'Jorden is awesome' documentary by showing the less popular side of having Jordan in your team。 。。。more

Great book/story especially if you’re a sports fan。 Cool to learn all of the details that go on within a team during a season。 Was surprised at the amount of turmoil that occurred on this championship caliber team。

Don’t know anything， really， about basketball， or professional sports。 But I watched the Last Dance so figured I should read this book。 The focus on just one season in the book， rather than the career-spanning view in the Last Dance， is actually helpful in understanding how hard these professionals work，and how much of the game is mental。 And that is the end of my basketball education
