10 famous people, I’d love to have dinner with

A disclaimer: famous doesn’t mean they are all good or virtuous. I have in my mind interesting and fascinating (in my view) people, regardless of their specific character traits or vices.

• Steph Curry. I am not an athlete but I love all things sports. Well, I’m a runner! And my kids are athletes. Steph Curry is the nicest guy in sports. An assassin at his craft, but the nicest and most humble and a true leader too, judging by how his role in the Warriors’ dynasty. Seems fun too.

• Novak Djokovich. Most tennis fans adore Nadal and Federer. Djokovich is my guy. He’s not perfect. In fact, he can be a jerk. But whenever I hear him speak, whenever I observe him manage the uglier moments of his journey, I think his emotional intelligence is at a different level from other tennis players. And he’s the greatest tennis player ever! A perfectionist like no other.

• Barrack Obama. Decency, intelligence, and for some reason I feel like Obama can be fun to be with in a casual setting.
