With his team’s disgraceful demise on Sunday in Dallas…(see Andrew Bynum’s shoulder and Lamar Kardashian) and many saying that he has coached his final NBA game, rumors have already started to swirl that legendary coach Phil Jackson (11 titles as a coach, 2 as a player) has another book in the works.
I know what you’re thinking. How could a new book possibly equal or surpass the success of his previous two, “The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul.” 2004 & "Journey to The Ring” 2010.
In the 2004 installment, “The Zen Master” claimed his star guard, Kobe Bryant, was “uncoachable.” And a year later…came back to coach him.
But, credibility aside…talk of a new book begs the question...What will Phillip call the book? That remains to be seen, but here are a few suggestions for the chapter titles...
Chapter 1: “The Greatest of All Time” Not a chapter about Luke Walton
Chapter 2: “Being 2nd best is still better than being Bill Wennington” A closer look at Scottie Pippen
Chapter 3: “Super Nanny” Coaching Shaq & Kobe
Chapter 4: “I’m sure the NBA will fine me for this Chapter”
Chapter 5: “The Triangle” Kobe’s wife, Pau Gasol, Pau Gasol’s fiancĂ©e
Chapter 6: “The Biggest Loser” An Ode to Andrew Bynum
Chapter 7: “Becoming famous by marrying a woman famous for being related to a woman who made a porn video” A Lamar Odom Story
