Beschreibung

The gripping and eye-opening memoir from the "Savior of Nike" and the man who discovered Michael Jordan, Sonny Vaccaro.

Written in collaboration with six-time New York Times bestselling author Armen Keteyian, Legends and Soles provides context and truth to the sensational media stories and headlines, including:

  • Vaccaro's pivotal role in the never-before-told story of the courting and signing of Michael Jordan
  • How Nike, at the behest of an embittered Knight, went as far as having the Portland FBI investigate Vaccaro who was working for archrival Adidas on a RICO charge of corporate espionage
  • His close relationships with NBA superstars Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, and Tracy McGrady, and Hall of Fame coaches Jerry Tarkanian of UNLV and John Thompson of Georgetown
  • The high stakes drama behind the O'Bannon lawsuit that changed the entire landscape in college sports

Filled with in-depth stories and sixteen pages of photos illuminating some of Sonny's most treasured career memories, Legends and Soles is the long-awaited memoir of a giant of American sports and a marketing genius.
