Well that, and play video games. It seems that Phil Jackson has chosen to delay his annual tradition of passing out reading material to his players for the long December road trip. The reasons for the delay were partly personal, and partly due to the way he views his players. Phil said he would give the books out during a four game roadie next month, and here was his reasoning:
"I had all the books in a bag, a Barnes and Noble bag, but I decided I didn't want to bring them. I have like five books in there that I feel OK about them, but ... there's a book that I was looking for that wasn't available."
All right, fair enough. Phil wasn't that pleased with his selections, and when he went to the book store they didn't have what he was looking for. But in a heated speech to his team after their recent loss to Indiana, Phil shared some more of his thoughts on why he's potsponed the book club for now:
"I told them, 'You guys wouldn't read the ... things anyway,' when I went off on a little outburst on them the other day. 'All you guys can do is play video games and watch porn movies."
Finally, it seems that Phil can relate to his players.
