Too much. That is a talented and motivated individual. He certainly has advanced skills for his age or for anyone's age. Hopefully, he will get great coaching and guidance and hang out with the right people.

Dang, hope he holds it together and doesn't burnout. My VO2 max was also tested off the charts, but unfortunately in the wrong direction.

If he's intelligent, it would be nice if he was guided to develop his awareness of the world beyond basketball. But no, it's not going to happen like that.

I don't think he's the next Lance, no. Cycling wasn't even mentioned. I'd put my money on Taylor Phinney instead.

Wow...it'll be interesting to see how he progresses...I wonder if his lung capacity will remain off the charts as he gets older, or whether it will regress a bit to the mean....any MDs or researchers out there who might know whether one can experience "growth spurts" in lung capacity, just as one can with other parts of the body (or the mind)? Could it be that he is off the charts now, but, may not be when he is older?

Since this is a cycling forum I will add two words. Taylor Phinney.

Oops Rick beat me to it!!

Tiger is leading at Torrey Pines and devastating the field. He is 18 under through 54 holes.
