Michael Jordan: The Life
The definitive biography of the most legendary basketball player of all time. When most people think of Michael Jordan, they think of the beautiful shots, his body totally in sync with the ball, hitting nothing but net. He is responsible for incredible moments so ingrained in basketball history that they have their own names: The Shrug, The Shot, The Flu Game. But for all his greatness, there's also a dark side to Jordan: a ruthless competitor, a gambler. There's never been a biography that balanced these personas-until now. Drawing on personal relationships with Jordan's coaches; countless interviews with friends, teammates, family members, and Jordan himself; and a career in the trenches covering Jordan in college and the pros, Roland Lazenby provides the first truly definitive study of Jordan: the player, the icon, and the man.
Showboat: The Life of Kobe Bryant
The definitive portrait of Kobe Bryant, from the author of Michael Jordan. 'Lazenby's detailed research and fantastic writing paint a complex, engaging picture of one of the NBA's greats' (Kurt Helin, NBC Sports). Eighteen-time All-Star, scorer of 81 points in a single game, MVP, and one of the best shooting guards in NBA league history: Kobe Bryant is among basketball's absolute greatest players, and his importance to the sport is undeniable. Third on the NBA career scoring list and owner of five championship rings, he is an undisputed all-time great, one deserving of this deep and definitive biography. Even within the flashiest franchise in all of sports -- the Los Angeles Lakers, where he played his entire career -- Bryant always took center stage, and his final game captivated the basketball world, indeed the country. Roland Lazenby delves deep to look behind this public image, using classic basketball reporting and dozens of new interviews to reveal the whole picture, from

MAGIC
The definitive biography of the basketball legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, from the author of Michael Jordan: the Life. Magic Johnson is one of the most beloved, and also controversial, athletes in history. He lifted the dowdy sport of American pro basketball into the global spotlight, a transformation driven by his ability to eviscerate opponents with a grand sense of fun. He was a master entertainer who directed basketball to the heights of both glory and epic excess, all of it driven by his mind-blowing no-look passes and personal charm. At the charismatic height of his power, Johnson shocked the world with his personal story which pushed public awareness of the HIV and AIDs crisis. Through hundreds of interviews with Johnson's coaches, representatives past and present, teammates, opponents, friends and loved ones, including key conversations with Johnson himself, this is the first truly definitive study of the revolutionary player: the man, the icon, Magic Johnson.

Lundgren Roland: Roland Live 2012
Detta är Roland Lundgrens första soloskiva, den första skivan utan sin trogne "vapendragare" Curt Petersén. Men som alla förstår så är ju Roland ingen nykomling direkt! Näe, vi snackar snarare en levande legend! Och med tanke på hur mycket konserter som Curt & Roland avverkat genom åren så är det ju givet att den första skivan ska vara en liveskiva! Så här säger Roland själv om inspelningen:Det var "fellesmöte uke" i Spangereid Norge.Asbjörn Johansen var huvudtalare och jag skulle sjunga. Vi hade besök av en eminent kör, med lika eminenta musiker från Karmöy på Vestlandet. Mötena hölls i en gymnastiksal och inget var planerat för någon inspelning. Därför är detta i ordets rätta bemärkelse verkligen "Live". Efteråt visar det sig att teknikern som var med kören hade spelat in mötena. Musikerna bara "hängde på", när jag sjöng. Ingen övning eller förberedelse och trots det så blev det ändå så bra. Visst, några få små "kråkor" här och där men så får man en riktigt levande inspelning i gengäld.Hoppas du tycker detsamma, och blir berörd av sångerna. Hälsningar Roland Lundgren
