UPDATE: WE HAVE A WINNER!!
Well, you're ALL winners in my book for playing, but WarriorForLife was the first person to correctly answer every question as well as cite his sources with links.

We've got plenty of ticket giveaways left this season and we're working with some friends in high places to help us out so we can do more of these, so stay tuned!
Make the jump for a fun recap of the answers!
**************************************
Unless the Warriors and Magic meet up in the NBA Finals (haha, probably not) this will be the only time Warrior legend and former face of the franchise Adonal Foyle comes to the town. I expect to hear "WE WANT FOYLE!" in between every "Let's Go War-ri-ors!" chant.
Straight BALLLLLLLLLIN!
Those of us not lucky of enough to be in attendance to give the good man a warm welcome home, but sitting on the couch watching the game on FSN Bay Area with our eyes glued to the television set BETTER hear "WE WANT FOYLE!" in full surround sound. Do not disappoint us TV viewers.
Since your boys FJ, Fuzzy, Hash, Tony, Yaobutta, Adam, R Dizzle, and myself can't make it to Monday night's game to lead up the "WE WANT FOYLE!" chants we wanted to pass our tickets in the lowerbowl (valued at $150 for the pair- good lord that's a lotta money!) on to you.
"You" meaning the first person to answer all of the questions in today's pop quiz all about the good man. Democracy definitely matters, but so does being the first person to post the correct answers to these questions in the comments!

5) What is Adonal's favorite book according to the league's official website? Who is the author of this classic? What is this book about? Feel free to quote a description of the book, but you must provide a link to the source.
According to his bio on NBA.com Adonal's favorite book is Native Son by Richard Wright.
Here's a little bit about this book [Wikipedia]:
Native Son (1940) is a novel by American author Richard Wright. The novel tells the story of 20-year old Bigger Thomas, an African-American of the poorest class, struggling to live in Chicago's South Side ghetto in the 1930s. His life is doomed from the outset: after Bigger accidentally kills a white woman, he runs from the police, kills his girlfriend and is then caught and tried. "I didn't want to kill", Bigger shouted. "But what I killed for, I am! It must've been pretty deep in me to make me kill."
Written mostly in the fourth person, Wright gets inside the head of "brute Negro" Bigger, revealing his feelings, thoughts and point of view as he commits crimes, is confronted with racism, violence and debasement—the name "Bigger" both is a play of the word "nigger", and a nod to the bigger social forces behind his actions. The name also suggests a "bigger" version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's character Uncle Tom.
While not apologizing for Bigger's crimes, Wright is sympathetic to the systemic inevitability behind them. The novel is a powerful statement about racial inequality and social injustices so deep that it becomes nearly impossible to determine where societal expectations/conditioning end and free will begins. As Bigger's lawyer points out, there is no escape from this destiny for his client or any other black American, since they are the necessary product of the society that formed them and told them since birth who exactly they were supposed to be. "No American Negro exists," Wright once wrote "who does not have his private Bigger Thomas living in his skull." Frantz Fanon discusses this feeling in his 1952 essay "L'Experience Vecue du Noir," or "The Fact of Blackness. " "In the end," writes Fanon, "Bigger Thomas acts. To put an end to his tension, he acts, he responds to the world's anticipation."
Also check out Adonal's Top 10 books on his A-List.
6) List at least 3 academic awards Adonal received during his 3 years at Colgate University.
Adonal has a full list on his website, but here's a sampling:
- (1995) Patriot League Academic Honor Roll
- (1995) All-American Academic Team, NCAA
- (1996) Male Scholar Athlete of the Year, Patriot League
- (1996) Scholar-Athlete for men's basketball, Patriot League
- (1996) Second Team GTE/CoSIDA University Division Academic All-America (only sophomore among the top 15 selections)
- (1996) GTE/CoSIDA District I University-Division Academic All-America
- (1997) First Team Academic All-America, GTE/CoSIDA

7) Adonal is the founder of two non-profit organizations. What are the names of these organizations? When did he start them? What are the missions of these two non-profits? Feel free to quote descriptions of these organizations, but you must provide a link to the source.

5) Title: Native Son
Author: Richard Wright
About: From what I gather on Wikipedia, Native Son is about a 20-year old African-American named Bigger Thomas who accidentally kills a white woman and has to run for his life. He then ends up killing his girlfriend and gets arrested and tried. The theme of the novel seems to be that the larger social forces that work against blacks are to blame for his actions, although in the end the judge does not sympathize and sentences Bigger to death.

Title: Native Son
Author: Richard Wright
About? Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny: by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection of the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America. - from Amazon (http://books.google.com/books?id=BHQciEOsIxoC&dq=%22native+son%22&psp=1)
