This book looks at what happened as the team ventured into the unknown with Scottie Pippen struggling under the mantle of leadership; Horace Grant trying to perform under the pressures of impending free agency; and Phil Jackson grappling with fans' expectations. Transition Game examines the joys and uncertainties of both basketball and life as Bill Cartwright and John Paxson look toward retirement, as Toni Kukoc discovers both America and the NBA, and as new faces with fascinating pasts battle the odds.
I read this when it came out. It's a fascinating look at one of the most enjoyable seasons I've ever witnessed. Michael left them hanging and they still came back and won over 50 games. Were it not for Hue Hollins BS call they may have 4-peated.
Packed with inside detail and insight.

Although it covers just the frayed transition between Michael Jordan's first retirement and the Bulls' rebuilding, this book offers the reader much insight into the key personalities that comprised the greatest team in modern professional basketball. No Bulls library would be complete without it.Roland Lazenby
