Jordan may be the pinnacle wherein every star athlete is measured these days, and Iooss had been with him through every step (and takeoff) of their literal and figural ascension.

Iooss also had an insider’s perspective of Jordan’s life off the court, publishing never-before-seen portraits alongside ideas and observations from MJ himself into the 1993 nyc Times no. 1 bestseller .

“i really couldn’t just take a bad picture of him, ” Iooss recalls. “he had been always so aware; never ever flinched. He had an uncanny 360 feeling of whatever had been going on around him.”
