I know it’s a biography, but Jerry Colangelo seems to lack humility and accountability. Maybe it’s just the writing style, but I am not rooting for his successes.

Interesting to read, motivational for an entrepreneur.

Interesting read of a Chicago native who "lived the American dream" from a "nobody" to athlete, scout, coach, manager, and professional sports owner. He helped create the Chicago Bulls in his twenties, then moved to Phoenix where he started and eventually owned the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks. Informative back story of what it takes to be in the sports franchise business.
