I’m Reading: Al Harrington Channels Oprah with help from Lou Holtz

“…On the way home from the Knicks’ 0-3 West Coast trip in late November, Al Harrington suggested that he and his teammates read the book “Winning Everyday” by Lou Holtz.

“Everybody looked at me like I was crazy,” Harrington said. “But since they’ve started reading it they’ve said it’s pretty good.”

It’s the first time in Harrington’s two seasons with the Knicks that they’ve read a book together. But with the effect it’s had on their record, it may not be the last. After going 3-13 to start the season, the Knicks have won four of their last six games…”

Despite what you think of Holtz, he is an impressive motivational speaker. He and Vitale both actually.

    Haha interesting stuff, but if a book has truly marked a turning point for this season, I’ll ship the 2010 squad two dozen copies of “The Secret” *rolls eyes*

    I’ll personally buy the Knicks a brand new library if it helps us make the playoffs

    I agree but reading can be a good thing a team that reads together wins together? Hmmm hope so
