When you can feel the perfection…
Reporter: You’re on pace to land in the hall of fame some day, but you still haven’t won a championship and now the Seabucks are in a rebuilding year. If you don’t get to hoist the cup before you retire, will you consider your career to be incomplete?
Anders: Well right now I’m just uh… focusing on getting stronger and helpin’ out the team any way I can, and… um… uh… Look, you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the stats, or the cup, or the trophy, or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me, not really. What matters to me is the perfect throw. Making the perfect catch. The perfect step and block. It’s perfection. That’s what it’s about. It’s about those moments when you… when you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty of physics, the wonder of mathematics. You know the… the elation of action and reaction. And that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.
