The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul Free Audiobook Download by Phil Jackson


"Phil Jackson is either a Hall of Famer or one of the most overrated basketball players ever." This quote by Charles Barkley says it all. In his book "The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul", author Stephen Hoye talks about Phil Jackson's last season as head coach. It was the most disappointing season in Lakers history, so much so that many people believe it will be the team's final season in Los Angeles.

The book is about the Phil Jackson era of the New York Knicks from his departure from the Chicago Bulls in july of 1994 until he leaves the Knicks in February of 1996. The book discusses how being a team would change with Phil as coach and how having to rebuild for success would take its toll on the players, especially on their attitudes and relationships with one another.

For the Los Angeles Lakers, things have not been going well as they continue their desperate search for ways to improve. Despite these efforts, they have not been able to regain their former glory. The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul is a new audiobook by Phil Jackson that delves into this team's woes. It is narrated by Stephen Hoye who does a superb job at conveying the emotions of Jackson when he was coaching the Lakers in this audiobook.

In the audiobook, Phil Jackson talks about what the experience was like during the first year of his third season with the Lakers. It was an awful season and they had a terrible record. The team was just getting worse and people were starting to get angry. They would lose games where they would have been ahead by 30 points and then lose because one player, who is typically not that important in basketball, makes an enormous shot in the last minutes of the game. This happened to be Jerry West's final season with the Lakers, making it very hard on him as well as everyone else on the team.

The audiobook version of "The Last Season" is well narrated by Stephen Hoye. He makes this story personal and engaging to his listeners. Over a two-year period, the author Phil Jackson has gone through a lifetime in his quest to find the soul of this once-proud team. At times he was a father figure who had to hold people accountable and at other times he was their best friend. Either way, this story is compelling and will make you think differently about professional basketball.
