1) Hardcover Book More than a Game by Seven Stories Press. a perfect book,about a controversial personality who has offered a lot to nba..The drawings at the end of the book of the triangle offence is all the money..¤ 2) Hardcover Book More than a Game by Seven Stories Press. I read "Secred Hoops" and was really blown away. Jackson is a very enlightened writer, and it´s fascinating to see how a zen approach to teamwork is really proven by reality and experience. I´m not much of a basketball fan, but now after reading "More Than a Game" I know a whole lot more about it´s philosophy and strategy.¤ 3) Hardcover Book More than a Game by Seven Stories Press. This book is basketball junkie paradise. As for me, whenever Charlie or Phil went into detail about the triangle, I had no idea what they were talking about. And hey, dig them squiggly-line charts in the back of the book!
But otherwise the book is a relaxed, informal "conversation" between two old, very good buddies, sharing their beautiful obsession. It was sweet to gradually become aware of and then vicariously revel in the deep bond the two guys have, all from their passionate love of hoops and its people.
Let the technicalities wash over you and enjoy.¤ 4) Hardcover Book More than a Game by Seven Stories Press. More than a Game is one of those books that is entertaining and interesting, but only applies to a certain type of people. Coaches and basketball enthusiasts will enjoy this book, but you should pass if you don´t particularly like the sport of basketball. Phil Jackson, former coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls, gives insight into the strategic world of basketball, from the past to the present. Charlie Rosen, a former college player, coauthors the book. However, More than a Game is focused more on Phil Jackson. The book shows the background of two talented, intelligent basketball players from different regions-- Charlie from the city, and Phil from the country. They mesh perfectly as a dynamic duo. This book also gives insight to the formation of the Triangle offense, something that has perplexed the basketball audience for years. This is a great read for anyone who followed the Chicago Bulls and/or Los Angeles Lakers championship years. The glossary and play diagrams at the end of the book are helpful and descriptive. A minor basketball fan could understand the book, but only a coach or basketball intellectual could truly enjoy it. More than a Game is a good book if you enjoy basketball and admire the genius of Phil Jackson, but like I said, it´s not for everyone.¤ 5) Hardcover Book More than a Game by Seven Stories Press. I really enjoyed this book,it goes into Phils career as a player, both in college and the NBA, then it talks about his coaching days in the CBA and in the NBA with the Nets, Bulls, and Lakers. The last part of the book is my favorite it talks about his first season with the Lakers, the problems they had learning the triangle, and the conflicts between Kobe & Shaq. Charley also has a nice interview with Tex in one of the chapters. The book goes more into Phils time with the Lakers than the Bulls, but all basketball fans should enjoy this book. You also get a good idea of what kind of person Phil is.¤ 6) Hardcover Book More than a Game by Seven Stories Press. Throughout the 1999–2000 season, Phil Jackson and Charley Rosen got together frequently to tape conversations about Jackson’s latest challenge: teaching the rigorous “power triangle” to an undisciplined Lakers team. Jackson documented the team’s game-by-game progress and his impressions of the state of the league. Rosen added novelistic impressions of the L.A. scene. The result of their collaboration is More Than a Game, an insider’s account of the bumpy ride of the Lakers’ most recent championship season. Along the way, the reader accompanies Jackson and Rosen on their separate journeys that have resulted in a friendship forged in the sacred brotherhood of the hoop.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
