Luther Wright wrote a book
- Thread starter prodigy
- Start date
Researching players has come a long way in 20 years. The Jazz couldn't have known then the Luther would be found in some remote location banging on garbage cans, or whatever it was they found him doing in Tooele. Yeah, the Jazz are stil paying him after all these years. A contract is a contract, after all. He is a sad story of talent gone bad.

Wait just a minute there. Luther Wright knows how to read?

You guys are mean. Isn't this pork chop bi-polar or something?

Here's a hint...make the content of the thread relate to its title!
Now what's this about a book?

Speaking of Luther Wright, I was at the Delta Center draft party when the Jazz selected him. I remember this very clearly. I booed the pick loudly. It was the only boo in the entire building and it resonated to the point where Andre Aldridge, who was the sports anchor for one of the channels, looked me square in the eye. A ruffian in front of me turned around and told me to shut up and insulted the hat I was wearing.

I especially enjoyed the chapter on how to bang garbage cans together.
I wonder if there's a chapter on how to play drums before a big game in Houston. Or how to let your agent take advantage of you? Maybe a chapter on why the Jazz would not piss on PJ Carlesimo if he was on fire.
I remember seeing Wright's first game at the RMR. After the game, Luther and Jaren Jackson were leaving the arena but rather than leave through a players' exit, they decided to walk up the stairs, past the many Jazz fans in the arena. This of course brought the kids to them like sharks to chum. Jackson stopped and signed everything. Luther pushed past every kid and didn't sign a thing. That was when I realized that he had no clue about what he was getting into and it would not be a good situation. I didn't realize how much I underestimated how bad the situation would be.

Looks like you may need one too.
Make fun all you want, but its hard to play drums on garbage cans, and make it sound good.
I think he could win America's Got Talent if he candrums again.
By the way, I dont think he wrote the book as much as someone translated his language into English and wrote it down for the people.
Maybe a little "Speaker for the Dead"-esque.
