How You Play the Game: Lessons for Life from the Billion-Dollar Business
of Sports by Jerry Colangelo, Len Sherman, Allan H. Selig, David Stern
Book Description: Horatio Alger has nothing on Jerry Colangelo. Born and raised on Hungry
Hill, a working class Italian section of Chicago, Colangelo started his
career in the tuxedo rental business--a business that failed. From this
modest beginning, he went on to help start the Chicago Bulls, and then
later in Phoenix he was the leading force behind the creation of multiple
pro sports teams, including the Phoenix Suns and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Today, Colangelo is widely recognized as one of the most influential
individuals in pro sports. Players, agents, and fellow owners also agree
that his more than billion dollars' worth of deals have been completed
fairly and honorably--a singular accomplishment in the rough-and-tumble
world of sports.
