“As a sports broadcaster and sports historian, Jim’s career has truly stood the test of time…. This book is a sports history about some of the greats of one of the greats. great players who did it all from the sidelines, in the stands or dugout, by the 18th lawn, by the field or in the broadcast stand.

In Talk to the GOATs, award-winning broadcaster Jim Gray looks back on his four decades of sports coverage from the unrivaled perspective of one of the world’s most skilled and respected interviewers. As a journalist trusted by many iconic athletes to tell their stories (of both victories and defeats), Jim has had unprecedented access to people, places, and non-existent events. often in the sports world.
Asking tough but fair questions, he broke a lot of stories and fell straight in the middle of others, from the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals, to Michael Jordan’s sudden retirement, to the Kobe/Shaq offseason feud that led to their on-field split, to be part of a live broadcast for 22 Super Bowl games. He climbed into the ring to interview Mike Tyson after he bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear, stood next to Ron Artest when the “Malice at the Palace” melee broke out, and was at the scene of the beating. Bomb Atlanta Olympics.
Anyone who has watched Jim effortlessly engage his subjects at the exact moment of victory or tragedy has little idea what it takes to secure an interview or what really happens when the cameras are off. These are true, mesmerizing and never-before-told stories. Speaking to GOATs featured many 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. Jim gives listeners a coveted all-access ticket as he revisits the best interviews, best athletes, and best matches in modern sports history. It’s like a personal introduction to the characters and careers of the heroes and villains we’ve known since childhood. He examines how money, celebrity, media, and power interact, and how sport, more than any other institution, has led to important transformations in American society.
This book is wonderful. I think Jim Gray did a great job reading the book, as well as mingling with other famous personalities. I don’t know that much of his experience but the stories he tells are suitable for sports enthusiasts. And Jim reveals personal details and tells his stories with honesty and humility. I told all my sports buddies to get the book. Thanks for sharing all the personal stories and inside information.
If you love sports and know more than the surface of things, then this is the book for you. Jim Gray gives us all a glimpse behind the curtain and full access to the world of sports, the best athletes and broadcasts. A must read for anyone interested in becoming a broadcaster. This book can be summed up in two words, Networking and Connecting.
