The funny part is I feel like somebody is stalking me, like, at my local course and sizing up my game.

We overload in our workouts so that the game slows down in real life. It helps you become a smarter basketball player.

If you're not prepared to give some truly independent thought to what this world is all about, then what is the point of being alive?

I think I may have too much of a scientific mindset and am always looking for the caveats and qualifications in any situation. I never thought seriously of doing a PhD until relatively late in the day. I was always diligent at the book-work at university but the brightest amongst my friends all seemed to have a more intuitive grasp of the subject.

Being a superstar means you've reached your potential, and I don't think I've reached my potential as a basketball player and as a leader yet.

If it's sports and women's golf, men's golf, and it's on TV, I'm watching it. I watched those ladies do what they do at such a high level, and she's obviously a big basketball fan and a fan of ours, too. So it was cool to have that interaction.

I can accomplish all those. It's really awkward, kind of, for me coming out here and being in a competitive golf atmosphere. I don't get to do it but once a year, except my, like, local tournaments back home in Oakland.
