pros. Cool under pressure, he went on to shatter the record books and
become the most popular athlete in America.

the adversity, he took his natural talent and combined it with hard work
to set himself on a path to greatness. Filled with sports action and
bold illustrations, this exciting biography tells the story of a living
NBA legend.
