Book excerpt: From 1996 through 2004, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal combined-- and collided-- to help bring the Lakers three straight championships and restore the franchise as a powerhouse. From public sniping and sparring, to physical altercations and the repeated threats of trade, it was warfare. The eight years of infighting and hostility were by turns mediated and encouraged by coach Phil Jackson. Pearlman shows how the Shaq-Kobe duo resulted in one of the most enduring, and ever-evolving, teams in NBA history. -- adapted from jacket

Kobe Bryant: Laker for Life is the ultimate tribute to the Lakers superstar as he concludes his legendary career, covering 20 years of hardwood genius. Including nearly 100 full-color photographs, fans are provided a glimpse into the early days of Kobe’s career, bursting onto the NBA scene winning the Slam Dunk Contest to his individual brilliance and NBA titles with the Lakers to his celebratory swan song through the league during his final season. A must-have keepsake for Lakers fans and Kobe aficionados alike, Kobe Bryant is the perfect commemoration of a Los Angeles icon and Laker for Life.

Book excerpt: Sir Freddie Laker was one of Britain's most renowned entrepreneurs. Aft er leaving school at age 16, his early years include the Berlin Airlift , Aviation Traders, the 'Accountant' aircraft - designed to replace the venerable DC-3 - the innovative Carvair and BUA. He was a millionaire before he'd turned 25. Aft er starting Laker Airways following the tragic death of his 17 year-old son Kevin, Freddie built the airline into a powerhouse, specialising in the European and North American markets. He then took on governments on both sides of the Atlantic for the licences to fl y his revolutionary 'Skytrain' service, for which is he is most known. Laker's Skytrain created hysteria akin to a grass roots movement. It gave the opportunity of aff ordable air travel between the UK and the USA to millions who could never before have the experience. Th e impact of Skytrain was pivotal in President Jimmy Carter's deregulation of the U.S. airline industry. Numerous airlines followed Laker's example to the point that now his original low-cost / no-frills model has become the industry standard for many of the world's air carriers. Fueled by commercial success followed by a well-deserved knighthood, Sir Freddie embarked on a massive expansion programme. He purchased many more aircraft , took on immense fi nancial commitments and sought hundreds of routes across the globe. Laker Airways was one of the top six transatlantic airlines by 1982 and Sir Freddie had made enemies amongst his competitors, who conspired against him. Despite monumental eff orts to assist Laker Airways with a refi nancing plan, a perfect storm of events compounded by ill-timed personal upheaval brought Sir Freddie's airline down on the 5th of February, 1982. Now, for the fi rst time, the unsanitised story of Sir Freddie, his brilliant and overly-ambitious business ventures and his turbulent personal life is being told.

Download or read book Madmen's Ball written by Mark Heisler and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revised and expanded edition, Los Angeles Times writer Mark Heisler investigates the 45-year history of the Los Angeles Lakers and unveils a pattern of pampered and/or misguided players, megalomaniacal executives, and owners whose obsessive drives for championships and attention combined to create an atmosphere of conflict for decades Throughout the entire 2003–04 season, fans and the media called the L.A. Lakers the biggest reality show in the country. But the laundry list of conflicts—the ongoing Kobe-Shaq bickering, Kobe's sexual assault trial, Phil Jackson's final season, Gary Payton's refusal to admit his physical decline, and the loss to Detroit in the championship—was just another year in the history of the Lakers. Madmen's Ball goes back to the Lakers' unceremonious arrival in Los Angeles in 1960 to show that the franchise has been embroiled in controversy, in-house battles and personality clashes for generations.
