"Kobe, you really should take a look at that book I sent you!" Phil Jackson said, and was reminded of another frustrating matter.
This Christmas, he had carefully selected a parenting book for Kobe, "Escape from Bear Island".
Considering Kobe's education, Phil Jackson thought a parenting book would be just right.
The book's content was roughly about a little bear who was trapped on an island facing threats from a big villainous dinosaur, and in the end, the little bear and many other small animals work together to escape the island.
The story was simple, and its meaning was clear: it was to tell Kobe to learn to cooperate and to work closely with his teammates.
But the next day, the Zen Master saw the book in the locker room trash can.
Bringing it up now felt a bit like rehashing old issues.
