Free tix: Phil Jackson with John Salley

The former Lakers coach Phil Jackson will talk about his new book, his observations on the NBA and I'd guess maybe even Kobe Bryant in a conversation with the broadcaster and former player John Salley on Wednesday night. It's a Live Talks LA event at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. The first five LA Observed fans to sign up will get a pair of tickets via LTLA. Go to the website.

Jackson's new memoir is "Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success."
