Tiki's bookshelf
In his homage to Tiki Barber in today's NYT, Dave Anderson mentioned the books that were in Tiki's locker. They are:
A bible
The Rainmaker by John Grisham
The Third Option by Vince Flynn
Chef's Night Out - a guide to restaurant's around the US
Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden about the hunt for Pablo Escobar
Raising the Bar by Gary Erickson and Lois Lorentzen about building Cliff Bars as a business
And what do we learn by this deep insight into Tiki? Possibly, that waiting around between practice and sessions with the trainer is a lot like waiting at an airport and perfect for mass market paperbacks, that he likes to eat well when on the road, that he has a spiritual side, and that his aforementioned business acumen may one day grace us with food that will enable us all to have as blinding a smile as he has. I for one can't wait to see which locker library Anderson delves into next? What's Nate Robinson reading during his suspension?
