Author of Showtime, a book adapted into a TV series, Jeff Pearlman is also the author of Three Ring Circus, the legacy of the Lakers. Finally translated, this work takes us behind the scenes of this “three-peat” of the Lakers in the early 2000s with three basketball legends associated to bring the franchise back to the top: Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson.
Through interviews, testimonies but also articles from the time, Pearlman highlights the essential role of Phil Jackson in maintaining the cohesion of the team despite internal conflicts. The book also describes the many incidents and anecdotes which marked this period, in particular the public disputes and the altercations behind the scenes, and of course the three titles won on the field.
From the prologue, below, we are immersed in the atmosphere with a Kobe Bryant in tears as he calls Samaki Walker.
