Speaker 5: I got touched up a little bit, like I didn't

00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 5: do my own lashes and stuff. And then one of

50
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: the makeup artists there gave me like a little hint

51
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 5: on how to do like a little tip on how

52
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 5: to do my blush.

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,560

00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know that's like the new trend now

56
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: is everyone trying to do blush. And I was like,

57
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 5: I can't get it right, and she's like, girl, you're

58
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 5: using the wrong color. But I've been doing my makeup

59
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 5: myself forever. I did it for like draft day, I've

60
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 5: done it for like any event. I don't do it

61
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: for like a lot of photo shoots because they usually

62
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 5: have like a specific thing.

63
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: They want, But any kind of event, I usually do

64
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: my own.

65
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: Wait, draft day, like when you were drafted back in

66
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen.

67
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let's break down the lottery.

68
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: Number one Dallas obviously bringing with page, new coach, new facility, exciting,

69
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: like I have no notes, it's all right. Number two Minnesota,

70
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 3: I feel like Yukon is everywhere every single team there's

71
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: a Yukon player fee, obviously leading the charge over for

72
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: number two, and then Seattle number three. Any what do

73
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: you gotta say, how are you feeling about number three?

74
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 5: Like I said, now, No, Honestly, I was really happy

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 5: with top three. I was like, Okay, as long as

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: we get top three, maybe it'll just be a sign

77
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 5: that I'm not like bad luck for the Storm at least.

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 5: But this draft class is so talented, I think the

79
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 5: most talented that we've seen in a really long time

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: as far as just like depth, you know, And so

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: I think all the lottery picks everyone's going to kind

82
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: of be a steal.

83
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: There's a competition out there, all right. Anyway, it's enough

84
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: draft drop, yabby. How are you enjoying your off season?

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: It's been fun. This is my first kind of off

86
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: season in three years.

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: For the last three years, I've just been constant, go go, go,

88
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: like just go from one team overseas to national teams

89
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 5: w NBA. But I really just needed it health wise,

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: and this is kind of like the best physically I've

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 5: felt in a really long time and mentally honestly, So

92
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: it's been really nice just to like, yeah, reset.

93
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: That's amazing. So what was the first thing you did

94

Speaker 1: when the w season ended. Did you have a fun

95
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: trip plan? Did you have like anything just to reset

96
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: and relax and unwind.

97
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 5: I kind of like went into what is it called

98
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 5: like I went to a coma.

99
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: I don't know if coma strive work, but I just

100
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,720

00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 5: good of a person as we all imagine him to be.

120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960

00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,000

00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 5: the Storm now and she like we were. She just

161
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: showed us for the next day and she was like

162
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: this is hilarious. I'm gonna start calling her this so.

163
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Well, those people are so like creative and just I

164
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: don't know a lot of stuff they say, yes.

165
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: Say funny.

166
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 6: It's not a pocket, not a pocket very much. So

167
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 6: let's talk about your youth and your upbringing. So all

168
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 6: of us are multi sport athletes. Gabby, you used to

169
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 6: high jump.

170
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: You talk about your high jumping experience and what like

171
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: that brings or teaches you about basketball.

172
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I was younger, I always just wanted to

173
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: try a different sport outside of basketball, and that was

174
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 5: like a big known and my family, and I was

175
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: finally just like track, It's like, Okay, this one, I

176
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 5: think I can just get away with.

177
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: It was really just for fun and just to like

178
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: do something.

179
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: I think I had tried it in like Pe one

180
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: time in middle school, and yeah, I just found a

181
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 5: passion for it. It was fun because like your biggest

182
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 5: competitors kind of yourself, you know, you're just always trying

183
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 5: to best yourself, and I think that like translated to

184
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: the basketball side of things. It made me love like

185
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 5: working out on my own a bit more, which I

186
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: wasn't really doing before I was high jumping. But yeah,

187
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: just kind of like learning how to be your biggest motivator,

188
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 5: be your biggest kind of reason and just kind of

189
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 5: always just like focusing on yourself and how going to

190
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: be a better version of me.

191
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna spire your girl. Azy. You played flag football?

192
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: How did some of the things from flag football translate

193
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 3: for you in basketball?

194
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Well? I also ran track, go like leading up into

195
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: I guess my sophomore year was the last year I

196
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: did it. Because then I got hurt and then it

197
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: was COVID. It's like my last year. I didn't get

198
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: to but I would agree with everything Gabby just said.

199
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: But it also made me because it was such like

200
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: an individualized as much as it was a team sport

201
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: like I did relays, it is very individualized. So it

202
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: made me appreciate when I played basketball and had all

203
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: my teammates because they just make it so much more fun. Wait, Gabby,

204
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: what other events did you do? I did the heptathlon,

205
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: so it's like the seven event.

206
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: Liked.

207
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, and I was also a hurtler. Yeah,

208
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: oh wow, Yeah, I agree with you too. That I

209
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 5: did make me appreciate my teammates more. I was like, okay,

210
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 5: I missed the because I was in college. I was

211
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 5: between track and basketball, and I was like, okay, I'm

212
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: glad I got to enjoy college, especially like in a

213
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 5: team atmosphere.

214
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: I did high jump in middle school and then I

215
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: lost all of my buddies. So yeah, yes, that's not

216
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: true that like eight rebounds this last game, you know, okay,

217
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: career high Okay, we're going to make that a normal though.

218
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: Just wait, I love it. We will be holding you accountable.

219
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: So, Gabby, you trey your ACL in high school and

220
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: came back even stronger. What helped you get through that mentally?

221
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 5: Again, I think it was like, Okay, now I get

222
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: to I was focused just like on the process. I

223
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: think I had a really good trainer with me luckily,

224
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 5: and I just that became like my new competition and

225
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 5: like that became my new way to kind of get

226
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 5: my competitiveness out since I wasn't, you know, playing sports.

227
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 5: But just like, Okay, I'm going to get two degrees

228
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: better today, or I'm going to get a little bit

229
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 5: stronger today, or get a little bit faster on like

230
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: the ladder of the cones, and so kind of yeah,

231
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: made me enjoy the process of just like working out

232
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: and training and getting better and learning things about my body.

233
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 5: And I think it helped me kind of today and

234
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: has that me has it allowed me to stay to

235
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 5: stay like as athletic because I've gotten to learn all

236
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 5: these things so young about like what it takes the

237
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: workout to keep your body healthy, like just maintenance. I'm

238
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: sure like you can relate having like so many injuries

239
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: so young. You learn these things a lot earlier than

240
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: like most pro athletes too.

241
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Mm, that's a great mindset to have, makes it easier.

242
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: Well you kind of, I'm sure you know, like you're

243
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: kind of forced to have this mindset too.

244
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: I want to know.

245
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so that was high school and then you ended

246
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,239
Speaker 3: up at Yukon. I want to know what your recruitment

247
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: process was like and then why you chose Yukon.

248
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

249
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 5: I was being very stubborn about track for the longest,

250
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 5: and I was dead set on doing both for a

251
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: really long time. I think the only school that had

252
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 5: said that didn't accept it was Oregon because their track

253
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 5: program is like so so serious.

254
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: But even like Yukon, even coaches ready for me to

255
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: do both.

256
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: When I came on my visit, I met with like

257
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: the high jump coach and coach or Emma, and then

258
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: I tore my ACL again and had to miss track season,

259
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: and so I had to two years out track, And

260
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 5: it just kind of naturally happened that I was can

261
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: only do basketball.

262
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Wait, that's really cool that he was gonna let you

263
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: do both. I definitely would have ye not guessed that.

264
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: Everybody was shocked.

265
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: Even we were shocked because we were like, Okay, that'll

266
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 5: kind of make the recruitment process easier because we'll eliminate

267
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 5: like more schools that way.

268
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: But everyone was like kind of cool with it. Coaches, Yeah,

269
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: he was cool with it.

270
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 5: But I think he was very very happy when I

271
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: went to the basketball only round.

272
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, that probably wasn't.

273
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: Gonna work, but for sure, Yeah, it worked out how

274
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: it was supposed to.

275
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.

276
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 5: Think he knew deep down that I was only going

277
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 5: to be basketball once I got to Yukon.

278
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: If you had any energy left to go through a

279
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: whole track season after bastal season, I don't.

280
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how you would have done it. Yeah,

281
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: and I think coach knew that. I think coach knew

282
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: that HO was being over ambitious. I feel like track

283
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: is safe if you think about it.

284
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: It's not contact, not likely to you know, get her

285
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: compared to other sports, so they're probably more likely to

286
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: let you do something like that, and you're going to

287
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: be a shame. So it translates hopefully to the court.

288
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: That's a great point. Actually, Yeah, I mean, if you

289
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 3: wanted to join the wrestling team or something, he's probably

290
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: not He's probably not gonna go for that, right, Gabby,

291
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: You were known for your defense WBCA Defensive Player of

292
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: the Year.

293
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: What's the mindset that made you so elite on that end?

294
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 5: I think I didn't realize how good of a defender

295
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 5: I should have been until I got to Yukon, because

296
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 5: I was humbled, obviously, as you are when you come

297
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 5: to Yukon. And obviously I was a good defender in

298
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 5: high school just because I was more athletic than people,

299
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 5: but I wasn't really you know, focused on defense, and

300
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 5: that Yukon, I was like, Okay, this is actually what's

301
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 5: going to get me playing time, like I did not

302
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 5: expect coming into Yukon, and like rebounding and defense is

303
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 5: going to be what got me playing time.

304
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Like those are things I never ever focused on growing up.

305
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 5: So I was like, okay, well, if I want to

306
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 5: get in the court, I need to really like dive

307
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 5: into these things, or you know, like I need to

308
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 5: I need to find a reason for coach put me

309
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 5: on the court.

310
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: And that was kind of it. No, no's right, and

311
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: he still says stuff like that too, so it's very true.

312
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: Oh really, I'm not surprised.

313
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: You're also only one of five players in Yukon history

314
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: with a triple double. What was going through your mind

315
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: that game, Like did did you think you were going

316
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: to get that?

317
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Was that? I don't know, I can't even get a

318
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: double double? You were so close. Yeah, you're close. I'm

319
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: not surprised.

320
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's hard at Yukon because you never

321
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 5: know when you're going to play forty minutes or seventeen

322
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 5: because you're up by you know, a lot.

323
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: And I think.

324
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 5: Thanks to you know, the excellence that we have at Yukon,

325
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 5: we don't have to play thirty something minutes a game,

326
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 5: and so you never when you're going to have like

327
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 5: these games where it's close enough that you're going to

328
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: be in that much, you know, to kind of then

329
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 5: you know how it is like you're not all focused

330
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 5: on individual accolades when you're there, also because you are

331
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: winning most games by like twenty thirty points and also

332
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 5: it's just like not important at all like when you're there.

333
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: But I do think that Coach likes.

334
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 5: Allowing us to get these kinds of little achievements as well,

335
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: because you knows how important it is and how much

336
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 5: it means to like our legacies and how special those

337
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 5: moments are to like celebrate with your teammates but I remember, like,

338
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: the thing I remember the most is just that the

339
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: bench going crazy, And I think that's the thing I

340
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: missed the most about playing for Yukon is just like, yeah,

341
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: the energy and excitement from your teammates and just how

342
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 5: everyone hypes everybody up all the time. It's just something

343
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: that like, I haven't had since Yukon, And I think

344
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 5: Yukon is the only school that I really see hyping.

345
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: You know, how important the bench.

346
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: Culture is and just like the team cultures that Yukon

347
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 5: so you just don't see that anywhere else in college

348
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: or and pro.

349
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really individualized accolades, any of that is so

350
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: not important here. I think that makes just the environment

351
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: that much more special. Yeah, when you can share everything.

352
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, those bench celebrations go crazy. Yeah you went from

353
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: six player of the year to a starter leading the team.

354
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: What kept you patient and motivated while you were waiting

355
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: for your moment?

356
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said earlier, any kind of playing time

357
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: on the court, I was always like very thankful for,

358
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 5: especially in those early years, getting six Player of the year.

359
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: I think I was a freshman, a freshman sophomore, but

360
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: I remember.

361
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: Just not expecting it at all because if I was

362
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 5: barely getting any playing time at the beginning of the year,

363
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 5: like I needed to get humbled when I got there

364
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 5: and learn what it really meant to be, like, you know,

365
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 5: just disciplined, I guess is the word. And so again, yeah,

366
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 5: getting your that's not why you're like doing those things,

367
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 5: but when you get those kind of individual accolades, it

368
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: does feel really good in that Yukon environment because it's

369
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 5: like everything is so difficult and hard and you're in

370
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 5: such a pressure cooker. So it's like, oh, okay, like

371
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 5: I am I am able to thrive in this environment,

372
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 5: you know, like because you're he has to kind of

373
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: beat you down before he builds you back up. And

374
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 5: I think getting like those little accoletes just him building

375
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 5: you back up, getting playing time, showing that he has

376
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 5: trusted me, showing myself that I can trust myself, and

377
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 5: to yeah start a role and.

378
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: Having more responsibilities. That's beautiful, h for sure. So while

379
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: you're at Yukon, you played with.

380
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean some Yukon grades in general basketball grades, you're

381
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: there with Suwie lou Fi. What did you learn from

382
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: being able to play with them and just yeah having

383
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: them with you?

384
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 5: I think just I had to learn what it meant

385
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 5: to be like a great teammate, especially and see that

386
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 5: kind of these players who I thought could do no wrong,

387
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 5: who I thought were like the most talented and skilled

388
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 5: basketball players I'd ever seen, But watching how they were

389
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 5: equally just as great teammates, I think was huge for me.

390
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 5: It's just like, okay, because then in your pro career

391
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 5: and even at Yukon, you come across amazing players, but

392
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 5: they don't quite succeed or they don't become winners because

393
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 5: they don't have the teammate aspect as well to watching.

394
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 5: Like I mean, everyone I've played with is still some

395
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 5: of my best friends, some of my sisters, even like

396
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 5: ten years later. And yeah, I just realized realizing how

397
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 5: important that aspect of being an all time great is.

398
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: I love huh.

399
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 3: I feel like you have such a unique experience at Yukon,

400
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: and that would make sense why you guys bond the

401
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 3: way you do, and then ten plus years later, you

402
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: guys still are connected.

403
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: Like all the things I've heard, there's no place like it.

404
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very easy to connect with Yukon players because

405
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: like you said, there's you just instantly, no kind of

406
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: put that that person's gone through already, and you also

407
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 5: share very similar unique experiences that.

408
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also I mean he recruits certain kinds of people.

409
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: He recruits good people too, so it's very easy to

410
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: connect with Yukon people.

411
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: Yes.

412
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 3: Coach Gino, as we mentioned, is known for pushing players hard.

413
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: Do you have any fun Coach Gino or interesting Coach

414
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: Gino stories?

415
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 5: I don't know you can say, but I can say,

416
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 5: or it could be a CD story.

417
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of CD stories.

418
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 5: I remember, I remember trying to I'm so like kind

419
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 5: of traumatized by this, like I think about it my heights,

420
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: which is like I remember, like there's always moments where

421
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 5: you had to challenge coach too, you know, like he

422
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 5: wanted sometimes he wanted it to be kind of us

423
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 5: versus him, Like he wanted us to come together. He

424
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 5: wanted us to like not always just yeah, kind of

425
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 5: lay down and take whatever. Remember my senior year, we

426
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: were having like a very rough stretch. We're still winning games,

427
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 5: but it just that doesn't matter that you gone like whatever.

428
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 5: And we were doing a drill where he would like

429
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 5: yank a practice player off because he was like, you

430
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 5: can't play five on five okay, play five on four

431
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 5: and then we would turn the ball over, so okay,

432
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: play five on three, you know, and those were sometimes

433
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 5: those were moments where coach would like want to challenge you.

434
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 5: You know, I got that moment completely wrong. It was

435
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: not the time to challenge coach. And I was actually

436
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 5: usually like okay with it. So I think we got

437
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 5: down to like five on two and I was like, no,

438
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 5: come on, like Pete Ryan, I was calling the practice players.

439
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: I was like, no, we can do it, like go

440
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 5: five on five and I was like, come on, like, guys,

441
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: get our shit together.

442
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: And now he started like yelling at my teammates. I

443
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: was like, get our shit together. We're gonna five and five.

444
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: We're gonna do this. And I was thinking coach is

445
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: gonna be like, yeah, gab, that's it. He goes, what hell?

446
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 5: And this is my senior year too, and like you

447
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: kind of trusted me, like in this moment. He was

448
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 5: usually allowing me to challenge him in these kinds of

449
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 5: things and like fight back.

450
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 2: It was not the moment. Yeah, and he was like,

451
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: who do you think you are? I'm on too, Like

452
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I was like sorry, everybody. I

453
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: just pissed him off more hopes.

454
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: That's so funny because I feel like it is very

455
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: hit or miss, Like it's hard to read that fine

456
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: line of like oh he wants you to stand up

457
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: to him, or like okay, actually listen to him this time.

458
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was that the moment that is so funny.

459
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not even gonna tell much, right, Okay, Yeah

460
00:21:54,040 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: that's definitely not your story.

461
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: Okay, what am I going to ask?

462
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: Now?

463
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: What was?

464
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: So? What would you say your senior year was like

465
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: preparing for that transition to the w Like what do

466
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: you think helped you the most?

467
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: And what tips would you give me?

468
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 5: I remember when saying like how they want to recruit

469
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: Yukon kids because they're already like pretty pro ready. I remember,

470
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 5: like we were talking, we're talking with Tipage about this

471
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 5: at all start just like how different it is, just

472
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 5: like phones in the locker room. They're not running to

473
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 5: a timeout, but like walking during warm ups when you

474
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 5: become pro, just like all those little things that are

475
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 5: so weird to kind of u Kon kids at first.

476
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: So I guess like the tips I would give you

477
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 5: is just to like keep those as long as you

478
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 5: possibly can, because they do make a huge difference.

479
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: And we're talking to like Sue.

480
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 5: About this on her podcast about how last year during

481
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 5: the Olympics, I finally had time to like be in

482
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 5: training camp a long time with the national team, and

483
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, I'm going to treat this

484
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 5: like I I was treated at Yukon.

485
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: I was like, if you're on the sideline, you're gonna clap.

486
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 5: I remember even like yelling at our coaches because our

487
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: coaches were like not paying attention during practice. I was like, clap,

488
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 5: like we're spreading sprints, Like you need to be just

489
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 5: as engaged as we are. I was young at my teammates,

490
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 5: like you know, like you need to touch hands when

491
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 5: you get off the sideline or whatever.

492
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: Everyone needs to be talking. Everyone needs to be this.

493
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 5: And I think it like really paid off and just

494
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 5: seeing how just a little like an ounce of Yukon

495
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 5: culture can go a long way. I think it's allowed

496
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 5: me to to just have like a long career as well. Professionally,

497
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 5: I think this, yeah, your eight and I think it's yeah,

498
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 5: it's allowed me to stay on the league. It's allowed

499
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 5: me to get contracts just like keeping just these little

500
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 5: Yukon nuances as long as I can.

501
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Doing the little things the right way go along. Yeah,

502
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: they really do.

503
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 5: And you'll see when you go pro that it's not

504
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 5: instilled in everyone the way you might think it is.

505
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: So keep that as long as you can.

506
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Coach reminds us all the time that we are in

507
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: a bubble here and no other program in college outside

508
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: of college is like this, And I think that it's

509
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: just something that we don't really realize until we're thrown

510
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: into whatever environment we're in next, just because that's the

511
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: standard here.

512
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: It's what we're used to. Yeah, you know, nothing else

513
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: but that I love that you brought that to your

514
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: national team. That's so cool.

515
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 5: Tried try too, try my best. I mean it's it's

516
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: you know, he's been doing it for forty years. Like

517
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: it's not something that you do overnight. But like I said,

518
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 5: if I could just bring a little bit to it,

519
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: I think it goes such a long way.

520
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: So let's talk now a little bit about your w NBA.

521
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 3: Like you're preparing to go into the drafts, right those

522
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: weeks are those nights leading up to that?

523
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: Can you talk to us a little bit about that process? Weeks?

524
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: I got like four days. Yeah, my bad, My bad,

525
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: My bad. Girls who played to April.

526
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: So the couple of days leading up to the draft

527
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: that you have what it.

528
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 2: Was hard because that year we had lost on another

529
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: over time.

530
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 5: I'm a freaking buzzer reader, and I remember just like, yeah,

531
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: it was kind of like an out of body experience,

532
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 5: just like, Okay, you come to a realization that you've

533
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: just played your last Yukon game that you ended on

534
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: in l which is the worst feeling ever. And I

535
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 5: remember just like feeling kind of weird before the draft,

536
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 5: just like, okay, it's over. Like I don't know, I

537
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 5: just wasn't quite ready for the next step in that way.

538
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 2: But as soon as.

539
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 5: You know, I started looking at outfits, you started getting

540
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 5: We didn't have nils, you know, back then, so it

541
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 5: was like, oh, I started getting like kind of freethings.

542
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: I started getting like some jewelry for the draft.

543
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 5: I'd had my agent and started seeing like how cool

544
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 5: life could look like as a pro in just like

545
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 5: a few days, you know, like having an agent and

546
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: then doing all these things in writing family out and

547
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 5: having your alph already, picking a stylist, having your hair

548
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 5: done Like I'd never you never had these things for

549
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 5: you con because they were all illegal, and then I

550
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: was like, okay, like you see the you see the

551
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: light at the end of the tunnel, like oh, like okay,

552
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: my life's going to be a kind of more fun.

553
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 5: Not more fun, but like you said to see, like

554
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: everything that you've worked for just in like that quick weekend.

555
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: What was your welcome to the W moment?

556
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 5: My More scored a five million points on me when

557
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 5: I was playing in Chicago.

558
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had never I mean, that's kind of cool

559
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: about this. I was gonna say legendary, legendary.

560
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 5: I get well, I would it was welcome to the

561
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: W moment because that first half I felt like we

562
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 5: were guarding her pretty well, and I was like, okay,

563
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 5: I can guard my More, Like hell yeah. As soon

564
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 5: as I said that to myself, yeah, like it was

565
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 5: just step back three, like buoying me to the basket,

566
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 5: just taking my ankles from me. Just everything she did

567
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: on me, she knows had twelve highlights and they're all

568
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: on me, Like she could have had a whole end

569
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 5: one mixtape and it was just willing oh no, and yeah,

570
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 5: because the first half, I remember she kind of struggled

571
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: in the second half. She I think she alterally scored

572
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 5: like twenty something in the second half and finished with

573
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: thirty something, And I was like, never think that you've

574
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 5: figured you figure someone out.

575
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: My more so, you remember what it's like being a rookie.

576
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: What advice would you give a z when she gets

577
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: to her rookie year. Uh?

578
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said, just don't lose a lot of

579
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 5: the things that have been installed in you at Yukon,

580
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 5: like they're gonna they're gonna go a long way, I remember.

581
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not sure where you're gonna land, but

582
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 5: when you're a lottery takes more than likely you're gonna

583
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 5: land on a team that's not used to like winning

584
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 5: as much and it's gonna be like it was definitely

585
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: a culture shock for me, just like everyone was so

586
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 5: okay with losing, which was so weird. And I would say, like,

587
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: don't fall into that for sure. If I mean, unless

588
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 5: you go number three and end up just somewhere.

589
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: That's not I know.

590
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: But if you got anywhere else, you happen to go

591
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 5: to a team that's you know, not really fending for playoffs,

592
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 5: do not let like that mindset contaminate you. I guess

593
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 5: or like be contagious. Uh, because it can be very

594
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 5: easy to just like fall into that.

595
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Well, how did you find that middle ground of like

596
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: not being okay with losing, but not holding onto those

597
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: losses because you guys have such a like quick turnaround

598
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: the games.

599
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 2: You can't be so upset about those last three losses.

600
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: Uh.

601
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 5: Well, it was like it was the pace was a

602
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: lot slower when I first came into the league. We

603
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 5: weren't playing like as many games as we play now

604
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 5: and we're still like flying commercials, So you weren't you know,

605
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 5: you couldn't have the back to backs and stuff. I

606
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 5: remember just like trying to keep my head above water

607
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 5: my rookie year. No one had any idea what to

608
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 5: do with me, Like, I mean, coach had used me

609
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 5: in such a specific way to Yukon. That kind of

610
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: worked only at Yukon because of like the way you

611
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: ran offense way everyone was just like read each other

612
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: and played off each other. That that wasn't really going

613
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 5: to like translate to a WNBA team that wasn't as

614
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 5: used to playing together, wasn't as disciplined, and so I

615
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 5: remember just like trying to keep my head afloat and

616
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 5: the wins and losses were just like, yeah, it seems

617
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 5: very clear that no one was like set on making

618
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 5: playoffs too, which was weird. I was just like, Okay,

619
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone really cares if we don't make playoffs,

620
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 5: which was weird.

621
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: I was like, y'all are mad about this, Like no,

622
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: it's upset.

623
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 5: So I just were just trying to keep my head

624
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 5: above water and just like figure things out myself.

625
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've talked a little bit, or you've talked

626
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: a little bit about playing for a national team. How

627
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: did you decide to play for the French national team

628
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: instead of the US team.

629
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 5: I remember in college someone brought it up up to me.

630
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: It was like a shot. I don't want to say

631
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: who it is. Someone brought someone brought it up to me.

632
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 5: I remember I was taking like a French history course

633
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 5: or something, and she was like, wait, are you French?

634
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 5: Like because I was like, yeah, you can speak French,

635
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 5: blah blah blah. She's like, you do have a like

636
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: you have dual citizenship. And I was like, oh, I

637
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 5: guess I never really thought about even like pursuing it,

638
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: and so they put in my head and then I

639
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 5: just reached out to the national team and they're like, oh, yeah,

640
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 5: you could totally play, like with your heritage and stuff.

641
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: But at that time they weren't really like feeling me yet,

642
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 5: and so because I was still in college, I think

643
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 5: they were just kind of like, who is this because

644
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: I remember like watching the Olympics in twenty twelve and

645
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: like knowing and at that time I was with spending

646
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 5: a lot of time with my grandma. It was French,

647
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 5: so I was pretty like, you know, in tuned in

648
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 5: my French culture at that point, and I was like, Okay,

649
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 5: that just kind of I didn't know it was possible,

650
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 5: So I was kind of just like fantasizing about it,

651
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: you know, just like Wow, what if I played for France?

652
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 5: But I never thought that it was something that could

653
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 5: actually become real. I thought it would have I thought

654
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 5: I would just have to go to the USA route.

655
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 5: And once I learned that it was kind of possible, yeah,

656
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 5: I reached out and they didn't really hit me back

657
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 5: for years, honestly, like they we had we would have

658
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 5: like conversations because I was playing in France too. I'd

659
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: met the national team coach, like introduced myself. She came

660
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 5: to like one of our games. I talked to a

661
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 5: few people from the federation. I thought about like going

662
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 5: to three on three route, and they were interested, and

663
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 5: they weren't, and then they're interested and they weren't, and

664
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 5: then I ended up having like a great season in

665
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 5: EuroLeague to.

666
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: The point where like they couldn't deny me anymore.

667
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 5: I guess like it became a topic of like you know,

668
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 5: they'd be asking me, like, why isn't Gabby on the

669
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 5: national team. So yeah, it was actually mostly thank to

670
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 5: like thanks to my team in Hungary that I played

671
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 5: for the national team, because they really put me in

672
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: a position to like be successful in euro League and

673
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: kind of put my name on the map in Europe

674
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: and prove that I can be a great European player.

675
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Wow, I can't believe they didn't just jump on that

676
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: immediately when you reached that.

677
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: That's shocking. Yeah, it's different. It's just different out there.

678
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: They don't the way they don't view the NCAA the

679
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: same way we do.

680
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well you made yourself undeniable and you ended

681
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: up missing the whole twenty twenty one WNBA season to

682
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: play for France.

683
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: That's a huge statement. What made you make that decision?

684
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: Things weren't going great for me in Chicago as it was.

685
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 5: I think like it was just like a it's very

686
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 5: obvious that it wasn't the right fit, and I was

687
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: honest with them, Like even before draft night they called

688
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 5: me like, oh, we heard that you have a French

689
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 5: passport and I was like, yeah, don't don't draft me

690
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 5: if that's going to be a problem.

691
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: And they still drafted me and it became a problem.

692
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: But I was always very open and honest that if

693
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 5: I ever got called to the national team that I

694
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 5: would go. It was something that was always just like

695
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: a huge priority for me. I mean, playing for your

696
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 5: national team is just different than pro It's just like

697
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: a legacy that you kind of just want to leave

698
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 5: and an opportunity to play in the Olympics.

699
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: There was no way that I was gonna get anything

700
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: up for that. What was it like being a first

701
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: time All Star? Oh? That was so fun. It was

702
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: such a fun weekend. Yeah.

703
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 5: I really wasn't expecting it. I wasn't expecting them to last.

704
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 5: Seattle have three All Stars as well. I came into

705
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: the season like in really really great shape, kind of

706
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 5: from like I had just come from Turkey, and so

707
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 5: just seeing that finally be able to kind of translate

708
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 5: to the WNBA side just felt just felt awesome.

709
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: You know. It was a lot of fun.

710
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 5: Again, like seeing my my family's reaction to it, my

711
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 5: friend's reaction to it was cool. Getting to spend that

712
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 5: weekend like just with you and and all like the

713
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 5: Yukon people that were there as well that like showed up.

00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: That was It was really cool.

715
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: It was definitely a fun weekend from the outside perspective,

716
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: so being actual, so I can't imagine how much fun

717
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: that was.

718
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: It was cool.

719

Speaker 5: I mean, there were so many Yukon people too as well,

720
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 5: and just like even the old teammatesal roommates, so it's

721
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 5: kind of cool to like spend those moments with them. So, yeah,

722
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 5: you mentioned you're getting ready to go to Turkey. Are

723
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 5: you about to go play again? No more rest, No

724
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 5: more rest, No more rest. No. I I had come

725
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 5: to this agreement with I played for friend and BATCHI

726
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 5: in Istimbul, Turkey, and it was pretty like I already

727
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 5: had to wear a lot of wear and tear on

728
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: my body even before then. I had the Olympics, came back,

729
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 5: played the end of the season with Seattle, I got

730
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 5: about two days, went right to play the Super Cup

731
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 5: in is Tim bul Yeah, and so I already and

732
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 5: they were well aware of it. They knew that I

733
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 5: was going to need rest at some point, so they

734
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 5: were lucky enough to, you know, allow me to get

735
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 5: some things done for my knee, and I really need

736
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 5: to get done so that I can be like the

737
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 5: best player I can be for them this season. And

738
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 5: it was very obvious by the way I looked at

739
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 5: the end of this w season that everyone.

740
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: Was like, why are you limping? I was like, I've

741
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 2: been limping. I've been limping. This is nothing new. So just.

742
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 5: I think everyone knew that this break was going to

743
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 5: be necessary, and I think mentally too, just give me

744
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 5: a you know, wanted to be excited to go back,

745
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: versus just like, oh, okay, I only have a couple

746
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 5: of days, just being like, Okay, now I'm getting antsy

747
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,640

Speaker 2: Okay, well, good luck, I'm excited for you. Thank you.

749
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: I was going to say, if you got more rest,

750
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: come to a Yukon game.

751
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 5: I know, I know I need to. It's the same Yeah,

752
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: it's the same calendar. I remember I wake everyone up.

753
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 5: I was like, my mom was in Istanbul during the

754
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 5: National Championship last year, in the final four, and I

755
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 5: was like.

756
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: We're staying up for this game. I don't care. Oh,

757
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: I made her watch it. It's a real one right there, dedicated.

758
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 5: I think it started at like one am. I was like,

759
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 5: oh my gosh. Yeah, Oh that's love. That really is.

760
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 5: It's time to pivot. You have some fan questions.

761
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: I think over five hundred questions were submitted, so yeah,

762
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: obviously we're not asking five hundred. We only picked some

763
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: of them, but there were a lot of people want

764
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: to know a lot of.

765
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: Things about you.

766
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 3: Can I discuss say one, yeah, Courtney williams ax one

767
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: and I think that should be the first question.

768
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: Gabby, why are you so fond Courney? When are you

769
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: going to leave me alone? God? I'm so sick of it.

770
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: Leave me alone? All right?

771
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Next question, So, I've heard from some special source that

772
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: you have a lot of hobbies, some including Djang bayblade,

773
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: battles on the plane, watching anime. How do you have

774
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: time to have these hobbies outside of basketball? I guess

775
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: bab lad battles on the plane kind of that one

776
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: self explanatory. I'm interested to know how how that came about.

777
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 5: Facts Sometimes I like realize that I have adult money now,

Speaker 2: Free will adult money and free will free will. That

780
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: was a big one. I was like, I could just

781
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: buy it whatever Bayblades I want now, I don't have

782
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,400

Speaker 2: all right, that is a good idea. I should do.

807
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: That end up being really really fun. You got to

00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 5: really funny like whenever I would DJ, you can always

812
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 5: see like my pinky like this. So we're like, we

813
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 5: should just call me pinky, like DJ pinky or something.

814
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 5: I think it's stupid, but I'll find a name.

815
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 2: We need DJ Pinky to come perform at TS.

816
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: So you're also into anime? How'd you get into that?

817
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 2: That's been forever. That was before I knew it was

818
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: like anime.

819
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 5: You know, they were just like they were just the

820
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 5: cartoons that I came home and watched at three o'clock

821
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 5: when I go home from school, just like sprinting because

822
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 5: Yugyo started at the three thirty, you know, so get

823
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,959
Speaker 5: a sprinting home from the bust stop so I could

824
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 5: be in front of the TV in time. So I

825
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 5: think Yugyoh was like the biggest one that got me

826
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 5: into it.

827
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: In Yasha was also one, because yes, yeah, I used

828
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: to watch that. Remember it used to be an adults swim.

829
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: I used to come on with all kinds of hours

830
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: and I'm like, right, so I.

831
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 5: Remember being like, oh, this is like the bad thing

832
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch, and my parents don't know what I'm watching, like.

833
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: An elevated cartoon about like going around killing and saving people,

834
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: like okay, right, right, And I.

835
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: Just remember just yeah, being up on when it was

836
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: in the school night.

837
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 5: I got to like watching Yuyasha late at night, and

838
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 5: then again learning that I had free will in college,

839
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, I can just go back

840
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 5: and watch all the same Remoon episodes, like I can

841
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 5: just go back and watch all the Dragon Dragon ball

842
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 5: z and just like yeah, And then of course you

843
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 5: start to find like the anime community that puts you

844
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 5: on to you know, if you like this, you should

00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 5: but I do love fire Force. I don't agree with

851

00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,360

898
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 5: then when I got.

899
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: To Yukon, we weren't allowed. I think you guys can

900
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: have tattoos visible now, right.

901
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I remember watching you play and my

902
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: whole family was convinced that you had some sort of

903
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: shoulder injury.

904
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, for four years, the same one. Yeah, and they're like,

905
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 5: what kind of injury?

906
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 2: Like does that kind of tape help?

907
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: Like I I wasn't asking questions.

908
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: I was like, just a sore, right. Oh.

909
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 5: I remember, like CV, I probably put her through hell,

910
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 5: like my first two weeks of Yukon, like Cauz.

911
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 2: You know, CD also has a lot of rules of

912
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: like she didn't like wearing.

913
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 5: Shirts under jerseys because I heard like the tattoo rule,

914
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, that's fine, Like I wear

915
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 5: a long sleep under my jersey like I did in

916
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 5: high school.

917
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: Anyways, I was like, I'll just wear her under.

918
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 5: CD was like, oh, that's even worse than the tattoo,

919
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 5: and I was like okay. We tried to like cut

920
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 5: the shirt a certain way, which looked horrible. We tried

921
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 5: to put makeup on it, and she didn't want regular

922
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 5: tape because she was like, the only thing I hate

923
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 5: more than the tattoo was tape covering up a tattoo,

924
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 5: like she thought it looked tacky, and I was like.

925
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: Okay, just CD, you know.

926
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so I think like five games into the season,

927
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 5: after trying different things, we finally settled on canisio tape because.

928
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: It looked yeah, like an injury.

929
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 5: And then it became a part of my pregame routine,

930
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 5: like cutting the tape properly, getting the trainer to put

931
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 5: it on right, like yeah.

932
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 3: Speaking of CD, tell us about your cat and how

933
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 3: you hit it from her?

934
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, oh that was so bad.

935
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: I got. Yeah.

936
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 5: I remember like when I finally left Yukon and with

937
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 5: my cat and my mom being like, you survived, you

938
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 5: made it out.

939
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,959
Speaker 2: You made it out with your cat. It's so bad.

940
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: I don't think.

941
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 5: I think, even to this day, I'm scared to tell

942
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 5: her that, like my whole senior year I had.

943
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, yeah, she sees this like I.

944
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 5: Remember one time Lou Lou got called into or she

945
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 5: was not called into, but she was in the coach's

946
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 5: offices and she had cat hair like all over her.

947
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: Shout out to lou she is a real one. But

948
00:45:58,239 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: she's been cuddling with my cat all day and the

949
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: coach like is that cat hair?

950
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: And she was like I was at my friend's house,

951
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 5: like thought of a lie on the fly, like a

00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 5: real one, A real one.

953

Speaker 2: like I forgot to get the cat hair on.

955
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,080

957
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 5: the fire inspections mm hmm whatever, when the people would

958
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 5: come inspect the apartment, I'd have to hide her and

959
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 5: just we had a fire droll once can ourselves the

960
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,799

00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: but I can't believe that.

965
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: I can't believe successfully you hit her from CD. That's

966

Speaker 5: button up underneath like a white skirt, and my niece

981

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I think that was my favorite look.

983
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 5: And it was fun, like because I have a group

984
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 5: chat with my niece and my sister and they would

985
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 5: help me out with my outfits all season, so I

986
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:46,879

1005
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 5: we always just make little remarks, like even when we

1006
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,919
Speaker 5: would score on each other sometimes in like games during

1007
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 5: the regular season or whatever, she'd like, don't do that again,

1008

Speaker 5: think I just said like, like, you little shit, and

1013
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 5: then I wish just wished her good luck for for

1014
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 5: the rest of playoffs.

1015
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: When you were George the storm loss, how do you

1016
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,160

1018
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you for asking me about this. This

1019
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 2: has been like the most annoying thing, and it was

1020
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: so annoying. We were losing every game.

1021
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 5: At that point, we were on like a six game,

1022
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,680

1023
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 5: like we're we are not playing well. And it was

1024
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 5: so annoying because it would like mess with me mentally,

1025
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 5: which I hate it because usually, like, I'm not on Twitter.

1026
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 5: I got off Twitter a long time ago. Even my

1027
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 5: anime Twitter, it's not even fun anymore. I know all

1028
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 5: the basketball fans for my anime Twitter, so I'm like,

1029
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 5: I got to see Escape Basketball and now they've all

1030
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 5: found me. So I'm like, I'm not even on Twitter anymore,

1031
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 5: but people were still finding a way for me to

1032
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 5: like see this freaking thing. Every Instagram comment was like

1033
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 5: about georgs I ruined a lot of my outfits that

1034
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 5: I had ready for this year, So jokes on y'all.

1049
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 5: such great shape and it's a thirty one, but it

1050
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 5: is the most efficient thirty one in college basketball right now,

1051
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 5: which I really respect because as you know, like scoring

1052
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 5: thirty at Yukon is not.

1053
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 2: Something that happens a lot.

1054
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 5: But obviously you know you're going four for four, like

1055
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 5: that's gonna be easy.

1056
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 2: But because you don't see.

1057
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 5: Like volume shooters and so you're not you're getting this

1058
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 5: as a non volume shooter, Like you're geting this officially. Wow,

1059
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 5: this year, you're taking the best matchup like you're you're

1060
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 5: also your defense is what has really impressed me, uh

00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 5: this year, and I just think, let me stop happying you.

1062
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:36,759

00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 5: you before.

1065
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.

1066
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm channeling my inner Gabby Williams this year defensively, you know,

1067
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get on those boards and that's where

1068
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: my what the food comes in? Min What the fudd

1069
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: is Sarah Strong and her twenty rebounds?

1070
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's insane. Yeah, she's bursting a generational talent. She're

1071
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 5: absolutely saying generational talent. So we're gonna pivot onto our

1072
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 5: next game. It is called Thanksgiving this or that. So

1073
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you, guys to options, and you're gonna

1074
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 5: tell me which one you would prefer.

1075
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 2: Ready, first one turkey, your ham turkey. I don't eat meat. Yeah,

1076
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: I was vegan for a long time.

1077
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 5: I'm hearing because going overseas it's a lot harder to

1078
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 5: especially in Turkey.

1079
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: I don't speak the language.

1080
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 5: So I still like, I never eat meat, but I'll

1081
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 5: go between vegan and vegetarian. When I'm in the States,

1082
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 5: it's much easier, or even in France, it's way easier

1083
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 5: to be vegan. Vegan is no eggs, no eggs, no dairy,

1084
00:52:54,239 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 5: no honey, no yogurt, cheese. Don't get her started as

1085
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 5: a vegetarian, Like, what the heck do you eat if

1086
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 5: you don't eat cat of cheese?

1087
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: A lot of things.

1088
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 5: They actually make garry for younger, which I eat almost

1089
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 5: every day. Actually, okay, yeah, all right, y'all.

1090
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 3: Mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet.

00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 2: Potato, potato casserole, sweet potato. Yeah.
