Phil Jackson famously gave each of his players a different book to read before a long road trip. (Walter Mosley is a favorite of mine as well, especially the Leonid McGill novels.)

With all eyes on the NBA Finals between the Heat and the Thunder, Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today has a report on what LeBron James has been reading during the playoffs. (Maybe them funny glasses help a guy read good.) LeBron apparently reads a wide range of books, but I bet this won’t pop up on his reading list any time soon.
