More Than A Game

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.
