What
do you think of the new rookie league, so that players can go straight
there rather than play college ball?
I
think it is bad. I think athletes should go to college to become better
ballplayers and to grow as people.
Does
Brian Williams help the team?
Yes.
He provides an inside presence for us that we haven't had in the last 4
years.
How
old were you first slammed a ball?
I
was 14.
Do
you like professional ball better, or do you wish you were back at Duke?
I
like professional better. Duke was great. It was a lot of fun. The whole
social/academic environment was fantastic. But my college days are behind
me.
Brian
Williams seems to have "clicked" with the team offensively. How has he
clicked with everyone personality-wise? He seems like a funny guy.
Brian
is fitting in well. He is very funny and very much outspoken. Everyone
likes him.
Your
mom roomed with Hillary Clinton in college. Did you ever hang out with
the President?
Yes.
I hung out with Bill when he was governor.
What
kind of music do you like?
All
music except country.
Where
do you like to go on the net?
Besides
my own site...Duke basketball, Coach K, Fila, Detroit Free Press.
What
is your opinion to the Sprewell situation?
I
think it is unfortunate that it had to happen. Hopefully people can learn
from this and avoid a similar situation.
Your
team got to a 2-0 start and now your four games under .500. How do you
plan to turn the season around?
Gotta
take it one game at a time. The season is a marathon, not a sprint.
Have
you been taking any more piano lessons. Do you ever have time to practice?
What is your favourite song to play?
No.
My favourite song to play is "Jesus is Love" by Lionel Richie. I haven't
taken lessons since I was 14.
Lerry
Bird seems to have adapted to coaching well. Would you consider coaching
after your playing career has ended? Or...would you considering touring
as a pianist?
Nope,
neither.
After
getting married, do you plan on having a family and still playing in the
NBA?
