In a world of people claiming to be the world’s most interesting man, Bruce McNall has a strong argument as ACTUALLY the world’s most interesting man. From selling rare coins and antiques smuggled in from Europe to producing some of Hollywood’s most memorable movies of the 80s to owning the NBA Dallas Mavericks, NHL LA Kings and shepherding the biggest trade in sports history, to his swift downfall and prison term – to befriending the mob: Bruce knows everyone, can sell anything, and tells us his story today – well, as much as he can divulge publicly.
