(INTRO) Interview by Greg Smith
This is the basement of the # 1 ranked player in the World. Walking down the stairs to Robs practice area, Im flanked by trophies lined up (by size) down the entire length of the staircase. Believe me, its intimidating -- this isnt a stairway to a basement, its the walk to the throne room. Trophies, in fact, averaging 2-3 tall, abound they are packed along every single wall down here, along with more KISS (the band) paraphenalia than even Gene Simmons probably believes exists. Did I mention hes a KISS fan? And oh yeah, theres a foosball table down here. THE foosball table. Hell this isnt a basement, its ROBS KINGDOM. Even though he was at the Golden Cue playing a tournament the night before and didnt get home until 3:30 a.m., here he is with his dog Bogey at his side, vibrant and excited as he discusses with a smile his thoughts on foosball and his place in it. And as you listen to him speak you begin to realize hes deep and hes passionate about everything he does whether its his family, his business or his game. A ton of majors, a ton of jackets. One billion trophies. 3,474 points. And one interview, which were proud to bring you.
