Bøker av Jim Gray

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!WITH A FOREWORD BY TOM BRADY ?As a sportscaster and sports historian, Jim's career genuinely stands the test of time. . . . This book is sports history about some of the greats by one of the greats, who was taking it all in on the sidelines, in the stands or the dugout, by the eighteenth green, courtside, or in the broadcast booth.? ?Tom Brady, seven-time NFL Super Bowl champion GOATA riveting, insightful memoir of never-before-told stories from Jim Gray, twelve-time Emmy Award-winner, Hall of Fame sports broadcaster, and renowned interviewer? that explores the author's career and the inside stories and memorable moments of the famous legends he has covered including, Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson.In Talking to GOATs, award-winning broadcaster Jim Gray looks back at his four decades of sports reporting from the unparalleled perspective of one of the world's most respected and skilled interviewers. A journalist who many iconic athletes have trusted to tell their stories (of both triumph and disgrace), Jim has had unprecedented access to the people, places and extraordinary events in the world of sports. Asking tough but fair questions, he has broken numerous stories, and landed squarely in the middle of others, from the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals, to Michael Jordan's surprise retirement, to the off-the-court Kobe/Shaq feud which led to their on-the-court break up, to being part of the live broadcast for twenty-two Super Bowls. He's climbed into the ring to interview Mike Tyson after he bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear, and stood next to Ron Artest when the ?Malice at the Palace? melee erupted, and was on site at the bombing of the Atlanta Olympics.Anyone who has watched Jim effortlessly engage his subjects at the precise moment of triumph or tragedy has little idea what it takes to secure the interview, or what actually happens when the camera cuts away. These are real, mesmerizing, and previously untold stories. Talking to GOATs features numerous world-class athletes, including Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, Michael Phelps, Mike Tyson and Tiger Woods, and world leaders George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Mikhail Gorbachev, and many more. On each page, Jim gives the reader a coveted all-access pass as he reviews the best interviews, the best athletes, and the best games in modern sports history. It's like a personal introduction to the characters and careers of these heroes and villains we've known since childhood. He examines how money, celebrity, the media, and power interact, and how sports, more than any other institution, has led to momentous transformations in American society.

Jim Gray, a first time author, shares his life and thoughts about the word FAITH and what it means to him in living out his life. After sharing with others about how he got through losing his first wife to a very rare form of cancer and several stories from his many short-term missions trips, he was encouraged to write a book about his experiences.   He met a very special woman on Christian Mingle living on the other side of the country in Washington, and just two weeks after meeting her in person, he asked her to marry him. A month later on October 2, 2013 back home in Alabama, he suffered a badly broken right leg. This accidental fall happened just six weeks before their planned wedding on November 16th, which then had to be postponed until March 29th. After five surgeries related to his leg injury, selling his home, getting married, going on a honeymoon cruise, he moved across the country to Washington while still recovering from his broken leg. He had another leg surgery in Portland, Oregon on October 20, 2014.  While waiting for his leg to heal, he wrote this book.The author shares how God revealed to him a meaning of the word FAITH, which is Facing - All - Interruptions by - Trusting in - Him. He takes the letters of the word Faith, using the above words to describe and share the many experiences and events of his life to illustrate how God has been working in and through his life, through both the good and bad times. The author shares about some of the "Divine Appointments" that he had with other people and how lives were changed.
