This riveting memoir by Jim Gray, a twelve-time Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster, offers never-before-told stories from his remarkable career. With unparalleled access to legendary figures like Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Mike Tyson, Gray reflects on four decades of sports reporting from the perspective of one of the industry's most respected interviewers. Known for asking tough yet fair questions, he has broken significant stories and found himself at the center of major events, including the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals and Michael Jordan’s retirement. Gray recounts memorable moments, such as interviewing Mike Tyson after the infamous ear-biting incident and witnessing the “Malice at the Palace” brawl. Readers gain insight into what it takes to secure interviews and what happens off-camera. The book features interactions with world-class athletes and leaders like George W. Bush and Barack Obama, providing an all-access pass to the best interviews and games in modern sports history. Gray explores the interplay of money, celebrity, media, and power, highlighting how sports have driven profound changes in American society.
