Simple question. Would you read a book, whether it be an autobiography or a book on a general subject, if it were written by any of the Spurs, old and current (including Coach Pop)?

I know I certainly would. Maybe in 2015'ish.

already did - Rodman's book. It was pretty interesting - especially the stuff about Madonna.

absolutely I would..and yes..Rodman's book was VERY entertaining...definitely worth a pickup, especially since it'd be on the bargain rack by now.

Duncan co-authored a chapter, Blowhards, snobs, and narcissists: Interpersonal reactions to excessive egotism, in a Psych book called Aversive interpersonal behaviors when he was at Wake.

Read DRob's book. Raising an MVP or something like that. Actually it was more of his whole family than just DRob who wrote that book.

If Pop wrote a book I'm not sure I would be able to understand it all, but I would love to try.

The title of this book has since been changed to The Kobe Bryant Story.

There is one more that Ambrose assisted with. More of a Christian read.

I really just want Pop to write a book about his philosophies and maybe about the game. You can't say you've never wanted to know whats going on inside his head when he writes up the buzzer beater play.

Pretty much my entire family has read Tim Derk's book - Hi Mom, Send Sheep: My Life as the Coyote and After.

It's actually sitting on my coffee table right now - cool "coffee table" type book to start up conversation. Either way, it's a great read... really quick and easy... not horribly long at all - but there are some great stories in it along with Tim delivering some inspiration. It's a must read for any Spurs fan who's watched the Coyote through the years.

Definitely would.

I would love to read a book by Horry and how his experiences were for each team he played for.

And a book by Duncan would be sweet.

I'll have to look for the Tim Derk book. Not sure if I will read Avery's--I wasn't ever a big fan of his, especially after he coached for the Mavs. Maybe Pop and Tim will write a book together after they both retire.

Avery Johnson's- no. I'm not at all interested in what he has to say.

I would be curious to read a book by Pop, would read it in the hope of getting closure for some of those " what was he thinking" moments he's put me through.

Timmy,Gino, Sho, Hedo, Malik, and Beno- I would definitely read a book by any of them.

Bruce would write a good inspirational book, I think. I would read his book too.

How many of these supposed books would be or are ghost written? I wouldn't really care for them.

I said yes but it would have to be a kick ass book about sex,diamond theft,danger and murder. I would never read a book about basketball unless Timmmmmmmay wrote it. I would wait for the reviews before giving that one a shot. He is the only one worth a shit the Spews have.
