Michael Jordan is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina. Jordan played college basketball at the University of North Carolina, where he won a national championship in 1982. He then entered the NBA draft in 1984 and was drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls. Jordan quickly established himself as a dominant force in the NBA, winning Rookie of the Year in his first season. He would go on to lead the Bulls to six NBA championships, winning five Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards along the way. Jordan retired from basketball three times, but each time he would return to the court and continue to dazzle fans with his skills. Jordan's legacy extends beyond basketball, as he is also known for his entrepreneurial ventures, such as his Jordan brand sneakers and ownership of the Charlotte Hornets NBA team.

College football in the South, it has been said, is like a religion, and nowhere is the passion and dedication more evident than at the twelve universities that make up the Southeastern Conference. The SEC is one of the most storied associations in all of collegiate sports. Its intense rivalries, historic programs, iconic coaches, and championship traditions are felt every autumn, from Gainesville to Little Rock, Baton Rouge to Lexington. The competition among the schools is as fervent as ever, fomenting rivalries within states (Alabama vs. Auburn and Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss) and across borders (Florida vs. Georgia and LSU vs. Arkansas). Many legends of the game have graced the SEC gridiron, including Fran Tarkenton, Joe Namath, Reggie White, Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, Emmitt Smith, and Peyton, Archie, and Eli Manning---to name just a few. Celebrating three-quarters of a century of incomparable football, this lavishly illustrated book celebrates the stars, heroes, characters, and games that have made the SEC a force beyond reckoning. The book explores the players and the coaches, the teams and the traditions, and the great games and individual performances that have defined each decade of SEC football. Vintage and modern photography bring the world of the Southeastern Conference, past and present, brilliantly to life, and complete this timely tribute to an exceptional football legacy.
