{"product_id":"more-than-a-game-1","title":"More Than a Game","description":"More than a Game covers the years that follow the one featured in the ESPN documentary series \"The Last Dance.\"\n\nAfter leaving the Bulls at the end of the 1997-1998 season—the year featured in the new ESPN documentary series \"The Last Dance\"—Phil Jackson had one year off and started to write this book—together with his old friend, fellow player and coach, the basketball novelist Charley Rosen. Then Phil took the LA Lakers coaching job, Rosen followed him there, and by the time they finished writing this book it was 2000 and Phil had won yet another NBA championship, the first of five he would win with his new team.\nIn More than a Game, Jackson and Rosen look backward to their origins as players and coaches, forward to the future of the game of basketball, and linger in the moving target of the present—lavishing page after page on the Triangle Offense and all the ways it reveals the essence of the game of basketball they both love so much. This is Jackson in his prime, transitioning from the Bulls to the Lakers, a master of the art of winning, who would go on to claim more NBA championships, eleven, than any other coach in NBA history. As he writes in More than a Game of his newest championship team: \"We won because our fundamentals were sound, because Shaq was so dominant and Kobe was so creative, but we also won because we developed a certain confidence in our ability to win.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1583220607\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1583220607.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Phil Jackson|Charley Rosen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
