Happy Birthday RZA!: 5 More Creative Outlets For the Wu-Tang Abbot | Rocks Off | Houston | Houston Press | The Leading Independent News Source in Houston, Texas
RZA has always been fond of saying that the Wu-Tang Clan didn't have a leader or, more accurately, anyone could be a leader at any given moment. We like to think he was just being humble because in his role as The Abbot of the Clan, he was the one that people looked to for advice and to make decisions.
Sports teams have a lot of leaders as well. Owners, coaches, even players have to lead at different points in the operation. With so many egos things can go south pretty quick which explains why there are a lot of bad teams out there. It seems that if Rza can corral the egos and ids of the other eight members of the Wu being a general manager of a sports franchise couldn't be much more difficult.
If he can survive ODB, do you think Dwight Howard would really be a problem?
