I wonder if Pau knows about the group read... From The New Yorker:
Phil Jackson, the Lakers’ head coach, gives each of his players a book around the start of the season. Jeanie Buss, the daughter of the Lakers' owner, Jerry Buss, is also a Twitterer who keeps track of all things Lakers. She posted this year’s list:
1) Derek Fisher: “Soul on Ice,” by Eldridge Cleaver. 2) Adam Morrison: “Che,” by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon. 3) Shannon Brown: “Dreams from My Father,” by Barack Obama. 4) Josh Powell: “The Souls of Black Folk,” by W. E. B. Du Bois. 5) Lamar Odom: “The Right Mistake,” by Walter Mosley. 6) Andrew Bynum: “Six Easy Pieces,” by Walter Mosley. 7) Sasha Vujacic: “Reservation Blues,” by Sherman Alexie. 8) Luke Walton: “The Monkey Wrench Gang,” by Edward Abbey. 9) Pau Gasol: “2666,” by Roberto Bolaño. 10) Ron Artest: “Sacred Hoops,” by Phil Jackson. 11) Jordan Farmar: “Makes Me Wanna Holler,” by Nathan McCall. 12) Kobe Bryant: “Montana 1948, “by Larry Watson. 13) DJ Mbenga: “Monster: the Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member,” by Sanyika Shakur and Monster Kody Scott. Buss also tweeted that Jackson is “very thoughtful about his choices.” I’d have to agree—this is a great list (but for Pau Gasol’s—and Ron Artest's—sake, let’s hope the players aren’t expected to report on their books!).
