There’s lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I’ve been doing that...

I was surprised I won the award because I’ve always been a very aggressive player and I earn my share of fouls on the court. I play rough, and because I’m an older player, of...
To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it’s so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it’s just a dream.
I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down, because I believe in that style of play,...
When I come off the bench, I’m looking to add energy, and then I play defense and rebound. Also, at the end of the game, I have the experience to go out there and help...
I’d like to coach the Liberty. That’s my dream. But maybe I’d coach a college team. Either way, I’d like to stay involved in sports and to coach.
When I see these young girls who are dreaming the dream that I’m living, it’s very very exciting and it puts a big smile on my face.
As far as starting or not starting, that means more to some players than others. And if it means more to someone else, I think you should let them start and just go out there...
In preseason camp, there are no friends. when newcomers arrive trying to take not only your job, but maybe your best friend’s job, you work together to try to help each other. Everyone is an...
When I went to college, we had a very good local following, but stations only televised two or three NCAA games a season. And when I went to Europe, once in a while we had...
Every year I try to keep in excellent shape and improve some part of my game. I play in the offseason overseas to keep my game tuned up and hopefully improve a little in some...
It’s funny, ’cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they’ll ask me questions about playing overseas...
You have to demand things and believe you’re worth more. And once you do demand them, you’re usually going to get them. The players who first came in were very humble because we came from...
For me, being a starter doesn’t matter. Of course, I’d like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as...
It’s not to hurt anyone, but basketball can be rough.
You shouldn’t just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.
For me, the money isn’t a big issue. I’m at the end of my career and I’m just happy to play.
Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season.
Your role changes as coaches ask you to increase your role or diminish it. And depending on how you look at it, either can be a positive.
I even believe if you’re killing a team, you shouldn’t stop. You should respect your opponents enough to play 100 percent the whole time. And by the same token, if you’re getting killed by the...
Rookies are also coming in from college programs as big stars, whereas when we came in, we were just happy to be there. We were happy to be playing in a big gym, to be...
I think it’s good to talk more about the team atmosphere, chemistry, and leadership, because not everyone is cut out to be a star.
Sometimes people think that if you’re always helping people up and never hit someone with a hard foul, you’re automatically a good sport. I don’t believe that.
I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent.
There’s a lot of room to grow, and the women who believe they’re worth it are the ones who are going to make good things happen during the next period of WNBA growth.
I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women’s basketball player.
