When I was a kid growing up in Mississippi, all my friends went hunting but I'd never been hunting. I told the Rev. Bill Adkins, and he's a real big-time hunter. One day he called me last summer, we drove up to Oklahoma where they have one of those big hunting ranges. I shot a buffalo. I still have some of the meat. We've been eating it." James Posey "Bowling. In my spare time, I get on my own. I have my own ball, shoes and bag. I'm serious." Bonzi Wells "Video games. That's all I do. If I'm not playing basketball, I'm playing video games. That's what I love to do." Shane Battier "Playing the guitar. When I have some free time, I devote it to getting better at playing the guitar." Brian Cardinal "I play golf and I'm taking some guitar lessons. I'm learning a little bit on guitar from Shane. He is pretty good. I like golf to just go out and hack around with some of my friends, just relaxing and having a good time." Earl Watson "I like to do a lot of different things. During the season, it's hard for me to do anything because I like to rest a lot. I talk to my family a lot, keep in contact with them and I watch a lot of movies." </div> Source

With the NBA being so influenced by the hip-hop community, I half expected that even guys like Shane Battier and Brian Cardinal were hip-hop fans. I never expected that Battier would be a Hendrix fan. More power to my new favorite player, Shane Battier!
It's quite interesting that some of the most athletic players in the NBA also play serene, finesse sports. Penny Hardaway plays bowling and golf, and Posey plays bowling too. As for the guitar-playing, these two guys aren't the only players who enjoy rock music. Matt Bonner of the Raptors lists Aerosmith as one of the best rock bands of all time.
