“The WNBA has been a huge part of my life. It's given me a platform to be a professional athlete.”

“To be a champion, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will.”

“I'm just a competitor. I want to win. That's what I do.”

“You have to have a short memory in this game. You can't dwell on the last play.”

“Being a part of the original Houston Comets team was special. We were making history.”

“I'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.”

“It's an honor. It's a huge honor. When you start playing basketball, you don't really think about this. You just think about playing.”
