Speaker 2: this tweet that I saw. Okay, let's do it. Bye,
Speaker 2: gab Gig thirty five.
Speaker 4: I hope Asy is at the beach somewhere right now,

Speaker 2: I agree, But where are you?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: I wish I was at a beach, but like, not really,
Speaker 1: and there's no calm before the storm, just madness.
Speaker 2: Storm and madness.
Speaker 1: I'm in storage, Connecticut. I'm still on campus. I'm at
Speaker 1: the cottage for Oh my gosh, this is my last time.
Speaker 1: This is my last about the cottage. This was my
Speaker 1: last drive at the cottage.
Speaker 4: M hm. Rather, it's all no, everything is literally everything
Speaker 4: is my last I know I've been saying that all season, like,
Speaker 4: oh my last game, but no, this is like my
Speaker 4: last moments here as a college student. Yeah, so we
Speaker 4: got back, hold on tripping. We played Friday, we got
Speaker 4: back Saturday night. I leave Friday. So it's been like
Speaker 4: it's been a lot. It's like I've been so busy
Speaker 4: trying to pack, trying to say goodbye, make sure I
Speaker 4: see everyone, get everything done, my appointments, my workouts, my
Speaker 4: everything is what is like the timeline for real? Like
Speaker 4: you only Friday, You'll be in New York and then
Speaker 4: what is it?
Speaker 2: Draft? And then you're gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I leave Friday. All my seven needs to be
Speaker 1: packed up. I will be in New York for the weekend.
Speaker 1: Get drafted Monday, I think either Tuesday or Wednesday, I
Speaker 1: fly to wherever I'm drafted, and wow, then I have media,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, like physicals, meetings, and then training camp starts
Speaker 1: in nineteenth.
Speaker 2: That is literally insane. That timeline. You blink and you
Speaker 2: have a whole new life Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think people realize how quick the turnaround is.
Speaker 1: For when like seniors going to the w It's an
Speaker 1: insane turnaround. And I've been lucky enough to be in
Speaker 1: a program where I've seen it for the last four years.
Speaker 1: We've always had someone drafted going through this, so I
Speaker 1: knew what to expect, But it still doesn't even compare
Speaker 1: until you're really in the situation.
Speaker 4: You're like, I only have like six days to pack
Speaker 4: my whole life up, say bye to everything we've ever known,
Speaker 4: my home, my people. So it's probably like tomorrow a
Speaker 4: lot of tears, a lot of tears, but like also.
Speaker 2: Tears of joy.
Speaker 4: Right, this is something that you've really wanted and you
Speaker 4: worked really hard for this moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know there.
Speaker 1: Would be tears. Like I can't even think about this
Speaker 1: weekend yet, it's purely just here what's going on right now.
Speaker 1: But it's like it's so I can't even really like
Speaker 1: I don't have time to even like more and nor
Speaker 1: grieve or like just like think about this whole season,
Speaker 1: like my whole time, Like I just I have to pack,
Speaker 1: I have to like hang out with my teamates as
Speaker 1: much as I can. I gotta get my last appointment,
Speaker 1: said I gotta do this, I gotta do that, and
Speaker 1: then I'm gone. So I feel like that feel like
Speaker 1: that's the worst part is you don't really have time
Speaker 1: to just absorb and take everything in and take a
Speaker 1: moment and take that deep breath and like pre like
Speaker 1: I obviously I'm very appreciatively, very grateful, and I have
Speaker 1: like little moments throughout the day, but it's like you
Speaker 1: don't have time to really.
Speaker 2: Just be like yeah, yeah, dang girl.
Speaker 4: Well I pray for a really good transition and then
Speaker 4: for you to get like two seconds to breathe at
Speaker 4: some point to think about the amazing season you've had
Speaker 4: and how far you've come.
Speaker 2: I'm really proud of you.
Speaker 4: Asy You've had a really incredible season, and even though
Speaker 4: you know things didn't end, you know, the way we
Speaker 4: would have loved, you still had an incredible season to
Speaker 4: look back on.
Speaker 1: Thank you, and I should have said at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the episode, but definitely congratulations UCLA and Coach Corey.
Speaker 1: Really exciting. I mean, no one at the end of
Speaker 1: the year goes happy except for the team that wins it,
Speaker 1: so we're all sad except for them. But I've been
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to be coached by Corey before, and I
Speaker 1: think she's amazing. I only have high things to say
Speaker 1: about her. And so, yeah, I didn't end the way
Speaker 1: I wanted, but I still have so much to be
Speaker 1: grateful for. I mean, it's hard to like knowing that
Speaker 1: was my last game and ending the way it did,
Speaker 1: and me playing the way I did not ideal, but
Speaker 1: life happens, right, you gotta move on, And for me,
Speaker 1: it was the immediately after getting back to the hotel.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, obviously I've lost before, and so like,
Speaker 1: I know what that felt like. I know, I thought
Speaker 1: I knew what to expect, but it's definitely a different
Speaker 1: feeling knowing there's no next year, there's no another opportunity,
Speaker 1: no one more chance, no none of that. So it
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not going to sit here and just
Speaker 1: be sad, just be mad, like I have so much
Speaker 1: to be grateful for, and so really trying to wrap
Speaker 1: my head around that. And then having like I said,
Speaker 1: I had so many family and friends. There's a little pool,
Speaker 1: like little pool bar restaurant area on our hotel, and
Speaker 1: I think my family probably took up like seventy percent
Speaker 1: of it. I was really overwhelmed with love and attention, affection.
Speaker 1: It was. It was an amazing moment because I'm not it.
Speaker 1: I just ended my five year college career here and
Speaker 1: immediately this guy immediately just surrounded by everyone I love.
Speaker 1: It was such an insane feeling, Like I think I
Speaker 1: probably when I walked out, just seeing everyone there supporting me,
Speaker 1: like I have this, I'm thinking about it. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful, I'm so blessed.
Speaker 4: There I can't talking about right now.
Speaker 2: You definitely was there. We were all there. I saw you,
Speaker 2: I know, I was.
Speaker 4: What has it been like watching her like you've seen
Speaker 4: her from the very beginning? I was seeing her here
Speaker 4: about to accomplish her dreams.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just ready for the party.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, speaking you know what. Anywayszy, you got
Speaker 4: your fit ready?
Speaker 2: Like yes? And no, oh my gosh, you don't know
Speaker 2: where you're gonna wear you after the draft?
Speaker 1: Like yes, but no, Okay, I have some fun stuff planned,
Speaker 1: some exciting stuff, but I think like a couple of them,
Speaker 1: well there's some custom made pieces. Okay, so I haven't
Speaker 1: like fully seen the finished product. And yeah, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, is that it's really exciting. I have a
Speaker 1: fitting coming up, so I slowly I'm getting more and
Speaker 1: more information about what's going on this weekend when I'm
Speaker 1: wearing what's happening, what's coming after that weekend. But I
Speaker 1: really haven't had time to right, I didn't have the
Speaker 1: chance prior to think about that. So now like it's
Speaker 1: like information overload right now. But you're gonna love Have
Speaker 1: you seen no? Okay, now, I haven't like tried anything
Speaker 1: actually on yet, but just like the sketches and the
Speaker 1: pictures and the I'm excited.
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing anything.
Speaker 4: But I really hope that you call me or something
Speaker 4: because I want to see. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 4: I'll think about it. Okay, please just call me, girl,
Speaker 4: Just call me. First of all, all I'm gonna do
Speaker 4: is scream on the and lose my voice, So maybe
Speaker 4: not Ezy. Did you get to see your fun family barbecue? No?
Speaker 2: Actually, Jack sent me a video, but I never watched it.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Jack.
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, I didn't even really realize how many
Speaker 1: people I had there with the game.
Speaker 2: Friend's family at the game.
Speaker 1: For me, I saw a little bit of them when
Speaker 1: we walked out for their little what do you call
Speaker 1: that before the game, the little like send off? Yeah,
Speaker 1: before the game. Walking to the bus, I saw so
Speaker 1: many faces, but there's so much going on, like different people, noises.
Speaker 1: I'm like walking the bus. So I saw more faces
Speaker 1: than I knew I was there, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm so loved in that. After the game,
Speaker 1: it was like an overwhelming amount of just love and
Speaker 1: support and that was amazing. The barbecue looked so fun.
Speaker 1: I was sad I wouldn't have been able to be
Speaker 1: there anyways if I won or lost, so but it
Speaker 1: was I mean, you guys know how to throw a party,
Speaker 1: so guys had to good have a good time, that
Speaker 1: is for sure.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people who love you, for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean it was from little Babies to Grandma's. At
Speaker 4: Grandpa's it was packed out and Kava catered.
Speaker 2: I got to dry your bowl. Really it was good.
Speaker 2: Why am I surprised?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, listen says from Cottage Cheese, even though
Speaker 4: that's not on it. I felt like we had different palettes.
Speaker 4: But that bowl was mad good. So go get Chakava bowl.
Speaker 2: It is really good.
Speaker 1: If Kava had Cottage cheese had put that on there.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I was. But did your team get
Speaker 2: a lot of kava they for these trips?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that definitely is one of the top door dashed
Speaker 1: items when around and they also catered to us, so
Speaker 1: we got The team got kava one day, which was
Speaker 1: nice because I haven't. I don't like spending money. It's
Speaker 1: like if I cannot, if I can avoid door dashing,
Speaker 1: I will eat the hotel food if it's edible. So
Speaker 1: I haven't had kava and I think since I left,
Speaker 1: so it was delicious.
Speaker 2: Azy. You know what I recently saw.
Speaker 4: It was like a picture of Sarah who stole your poster,
Speaker 4: which was super cute, and then I saw that you
Speaker 4: went back into Sarah's with that poster ended up going.
Speaker 1: That poster is currently in my apartment on the wall
Speaker 1: to wake up, and first thing I see is her
Speaker 1: beautiful face just inspires me every morning. So inspires you
Speaker 1: to be great, It truly does.
Speaker 2: I'm weak.
Speaker 4: I fortunate to have some really incredible teammates. So Kaylee
Speaker 4: won the Elite Scholar Athlete Award, so we got to
Speaker 4: cheer her on give her flowers, which I think is awesome.
Speaker 4: Because I mean as teammates, we know we see everyone
Speaker 4: in study hall, we see Kelly is constantly on her computer.
Speaker 1: I look at her computer and I'm like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Like that does not look it's just a
Speaker 1: lot going on. So I know she's a little smarty pants,
Speaker 1: but to have her recognize that, give her a little
Speaker 1: shout out, to give her her flowers, Like being a
Speaker 1: student athlete is hard and excelling in both areas super difficult,
Speaker 1: definitely not talked about enough. So I'm super proud of her,
Speaker 1: and she makes it look easy. She really does shout
Speaker 1: out Killy, she's our little nerd. We have a few
Speaker 1: of those are the team. But then Sarah Schanng, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, it was like award after award after awards,
Speaker 1: and she she deserves every single one of them and more.
Speaker 1: But that was we I think we went to like
Speaker 1: three ceremonies for her, and it was we'd mess with her.
Speaker 1: We'd be like, oh, Sarah, like so hard having the
Speaker 1: best player in the country on your team, Like we
Speaker 1: have to go sit there and cheer you on and
Speaker 1: clap for you and be proud of you, Like it's
Speaker 1: so hard. I mean, like we're gonna go through.
Speaker 2: But where she went? List them all I can. I
Speaker 2: can summarize it ready, Player of the.
Speaker 4: Year, the Year the Year, Player of the Year, Player
Speaker 4: the Year.
Speaker 2: Congrats Sarah, Yeah, shout out to a song she's she's
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 4: Did you get a chance to watch the Yukon men
Speaker 4: when I think it was a freshman that hit that
Speaker 4: crazy shot.
Speaker 2: And then it's oh my.
Speaker 1: Goodness, that was insane. So we were watching the game.
Speaker 1: I had my massage, so I did go upstairs and
Speaker 1: missus massage therapists. Missus let's go right therapist Karen. She
Speaker 1: is the best ever. She has no phone policy, like
Speaker 1: no touching people on the table, talking to them, distracting them,
Speaker 1: like let them wrestling me and pizza with them, join
Speaker 1: their massage. I'm like, Karen, the game, there's like five
Speaker 1: minutes left. They're going on a run.
Speaker 2: Like can I Lee's.
Speaker 1: Watch During the massage, She's like, don't tell anyone, she'd
Speaker 1: kill me up. She heard me saying this, But I'm like,
Speaker 1: face down the phone on the floor. We're watching together.
Speaker 1: Everyone is in the lobby. We're like on the floor
Speaker 1: upstairs so we can hear them all yelling and it's
Speaker 1: like they're a little bit ahead of us, so they
Speaker 1: start screaming as soon as they go on a run.
Speaker 1: We're watching like, okay, something good, bad happen, something good happen.
Speaker 1: They hit that shot. Karen and I start screaming and
Speaker 1: she's giving me my massage. We hear everyone in the
Speaker 1: lobby screaming. I later saw that the girls were watching
Speaker 1: their room. Came down to the lobby and did like
Speaker 1: the Yukon chant. We had our families there, we had
Speaker 1: the Yukon band and cheer team. We're in the lobby
Speaker 1: watching too. The girls came down, they started the Yukon
Speaker 1: chant and the lobby it was super cute, but it
Speaker 1: was That was a crazy game and I'm super super
Speaker 1: proud for them. I'm super proud of Braylan. That was
Speaker 1: an insane shot and the way he took that and hesitations,
Speaker 1: preer confidence amazing.
Speaker 2: Nuts. It was a wild to watch. I was screaming
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, watch that like that. That literally is march on.
Speaker 4: That is the epitome. So to watch that live amazing
Speaker 4: mm hmm. And I love it because he's a brand
Speaker 4: new freshman to the team, like it had to be him,
Speaker 4: so you had an incredible last five years at Yukon's
Speaker 4: Take a trip down memory lane real quick? How would
Speaker 4: your freshman year asy describe the player and person you
Speaker 4: are now?
Speaker 1: Is just like pretty freshman year, post freshman year, a
Speaker 1: post freshman. I think I would be I mean, I
Speaker 1: know I would be proud. Yeah, I would say proud,
Speaker 1: especially the way I was my freshman year. I was
Speaker 1: not proud at all how I played just anything about
Speaker 1: that year honestly, So i'd be proud that, you know,
Speaker 1: like I figured it out a little still more to
Speaker 1: figure out, but I've grown a lot. But I yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd definitely be proud would be the word i'd say.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll say please.
Speaker 4: Was there ever a moment where balancing school and basketball
Speaker 4: felt overwhelming? And if so, how did you get through it?
Speaker 4: I mean definitely. I think there's a lot of things
Speaker 4: that we do that we make look easy. But being
Speaker 4: a D one athlete, being a student, dealing with nil
Speaker 4: and then also having your friends, your family, like your
Speaker 4: personal life to deal with as well, Like, that's a lot.
Speaker 4: You're eighteen to One of my twenty three cents went
Speaker 4: before eighteen to twenty three, twenty four figuring out who
Speaker 4: you are on your own, Like, that's a lot to
Speaker 4: figure out, not a lot to navigate. I think for
Speaker 4: me getting through all that, like whether it was a
Speaker 4: year it was hurt and it was you know, rehab
Speaker 4: stuff I was going through, or on the court, I
Speaker 4: think just leaving my family, leading on my friends, my teammates,
Speaker 4: and my faith have been the biggest thing.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that as beautiful.
Speaker 3: What's something about your game that's evolved the most during
Speaker 3: your time here? What would you say You've really like
Speaker 3: gotten better?
Speaker 2: What I just kidding you? You're like, why do you
Speaker 2: look like that?
Speaker 4: You know he's been killing the whole time to get
Speaker 4: his face because I'm trying to ask questions.
Speaker 1: I'm serious. My defense has gotten better. I think my
Speaker 1: off ball movements and just being able to play and
Speaker 1: not like being able to read the game and play.
Speaker 3: I can see that. Thanks, I can see that.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. You was locking up this year.
Speaker 4: I definitely saw that was locking up your shir a lot.
Speaker 2: You know you was going into best player, That's all
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Next thing, what make your team culture unique compared to
Speaker 4: what people see from the outside.
Speaker 1: Well, I think every year I've been here. It's just
Speaker 1: how close we are and it's genuine. We love to
Speaker 1: hang out together. There's not much else to do here
Speaker 1: but hang out. Like, whatever you're doing, you're going with
Speaker 1: a teammate, whether it's to the movies, whether it's to
Speaker 1: the mall, whether it's a movie. Like, whatever you're doing,
Speaker 1: it's with a teammate, and it's genuine, it's not forced,
Speaker 1: it's not We all live I think one of the
Speaker 1: biggest things that we live together. I feel like with
Speaker 1: ni on everything going on, people are getting away from that.
Speaker 1: They want their own apartment, they want this all this
Speaker 1: alone time in their own space, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that just takes away from like the college experience. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm dreading that about next week, like this is my
Speaker 1: last couple of days getting to walk down the hallway,
Speaker 1: barge into someone's room, like lay in their bed, watch
Speaker 1: a movie. I'm not going to have that. I know
Speaker 1: how much I'm going to miss that. So I think
Speaker 1: our closeness, but being able to kind of like put
Speaker 1: your individual pride aside on the court and just have
Speaker 1: that team mentality that we above me and I think
Speaker 1: that's also rare to find in this day and age
Speaker 1: of college, Batsela and I like, everyone wants the attention,
Speaker 1: wants the words. In our team, It's like we just
Speaker 1: want what's best for the team, for each other.
Speaker 4: I think that's beautiful and I think people don't realize
Speaker 4: that experience.
Speaker 2: The college experience is very unique.
Speaker 4: Once you leave, there's no community like that that mimics
Speaker 4: that example, like being able to live on campus, being
Speaker 4: able to have roommates like that, that's something unique to
Speaker 4: the college experience. So who are the teammates that had
Speaker 4: the biggest impact on you?
Speaker 1: I feel like someone knew each year, but the same time,
Speaker 1: like everyone has had an impact on me. I think
Speaker 1: my freshman year, like Mike, my little crew was Page,
Speaker 1: Caroline and Amari look at a little nickname for ourselves.
Speaker 1: It was just that was our little crew. It was cute.
Speaker 1: Sophomore year, I got really close with Lou and Dorica.
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, it's just someone I had
Speaker 1: two years with her. She's someone I'm I'm grateful for
Speaker 1: all my teammates, but she's someone I talked to every
Speaker 1: single day. I look back and I'm like, I thank
Speaker 1: her because I'm like, I would not have gotten through
Speaker 1: that year. I was hurt without her and Colleen. Like
Speaker 1: the way I would go through rehab and come back,
Speaker 1: I'd be looking forward to like getting to have movie
Speaker 1: nights with them, play Fortnite with them, like go get
Speaker 1: a Saubls with them, just like that was the highlight
Speaker 1: of my everyday post rehab, and then like getting to
Speaker 1: me Kaitlyn Chella. It's just like everyone is touching in
Speaker 1: such a different way this year, with KK getting close
Speaker 1: with her and Calise and Sarah. I feel like I
Speaker 1: really got close with everyone this year, and it's been
Speaker 1: everyone is so unique and I just love everyone.
Speaker 2: I love them all. Actually, I would also add to that.
Speaker 3: She would like to add to that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Lawyer, I wasn't really going to bring this up,
Speaker 1: but you know what, why not because I'm proud.
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: So me and another one of my teammates got baptized
Speaker 1: last night and.
Speaker 2: It was you didn't even tell me what I know.
Speaker 2: I was so nervous.
Speaker 1: I was so like, I've never really like spoke, I
Speaker 1: get speak about it.
Speaker 4: And so I've been going to AIA since sophomore year
Speaker 4: and I've seen the way Tina Charles came back and
Speaker 4: she kind of she had lunch with us one day
Speaker 4: my sophomore year and she was telling us about.
Speaker 2: AIA and Diane.
Speaker 1: Plubs run aias the chaplain for the Connecticut Sun and
Speaker 1: just how that kind of like changed her life. And
Speaker 1: I think it was me and Ice and someone else
Speaker 1: at that table and we're like, what is AIA? And
Speaker 1: so she introduced us, started that planted that seed, and
Speaker 1: I started going and I got stalling asleep in church whatever,
Speaker 1: like it took me a minute to get there. Last
Speaker 1: year I really started to walk in my faith and
Speaker 1: meeting with Diane and like accepting Jesus and all of
Speaker 1: that good stuff, all that great stuff. And I would say,
Speaker 1: your question, what teammates had the biggest impact on me?
Speaker 1: Seeing the way that Ice and Page have been just
Speaker 1: being able to see their kind of transformation and their
Speaker 1: growth and their walk with God and their journey, and
Speaker 1: like I it's been so clear, it's been so visible,
Speaker 1: so you can see the difference in them as people
Speaker 1: when it's incredibly we can see like just the peace
Speaker 1: that they have, the lightness that they're able to walk with.
Speaker 1: And I wanted that and I know that I now
Speaker 1: have that, but I know that without them kind of
Speaker 1: planning that seed and being someone to introduce me to
Speaker 1: God and to church and to AIA and drag me
Speaker 1: along with even when I was falling asleep and just
Speaker 1: keep me persistent, Like eventually it clicked. But if it
Speaker 1: didn't have them they kind of help me along the way,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be possible. So I mean shout out to
Speaker 1: Diane and John at A for being able to make
Speaker 1: the baptism work because I think that was. This is
Speaker 1: my last week here and they squeeze all this in
Speaker 1: and so I wanted it was special to do it
Speaker 1: here before I left, with the people who introduced me,
Speaker 1: who helped me grow in my faith, who got me started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm about to hear it, but I'm just really grateful.
Speaker 1: It was such an emotional night.
Speaker 4: It's been such an emotional last week, but I feel
Speaker 4: like that was like this week is a lot, but
Speaker 4: it's been everything. It's been perfect. I'm so grateful. And
Speaker 4: so I would say those are teammates Page and Ice
Speaker 4: and KK and Ash Caroline who have like inspired me,
Speaker 4: helped me, and then I can talk to and not
Speaker 4: just be teammates, not just be like Yukon's sisters, but
Speaker 4: also sisters in Christ with just a lot of talking.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm my Wow, that is so beautiful, myolo,
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: The girls who get it get it. Okay, that is awesome.
Speaker 2: That is so awesome.
Speaker 4: I was also baptized in college, so it is a huge,
Speaker 4: huge decision and I'm so proud of you and I
Speaker 4: think as like one of the best decisions of your life.
Speaker 2: Okay, I please ask a question.
Speaker 3: What were your favorite non basketball memories in college?
Speaker 4: I mean, we've had some incredible movie nights, Like, we've
Speaker 4: had some really good ones. I can probably give some
Speaker 4: good psychological thriller movie Rex if anyone wants them. But
Speaker 4: I'd also say we've had some incredible CD games and
Speaker 4: just like bonding moments. So I would say some of those,
Speaker 4: what's a moment you're proud of that never showed up
Speaker 4: in the box score?
Speaker 1: Anytime I see someone dive on the ground for loose ball,
Speaker 1: that like when it's killing on the ground, stare on
Speaker 1: the ground, ash cake, whenever I see them on the ground,
Speaker 1: because those are that's like ever plays, that's like literally
Speaker 1: them telling you, like how much they want to win,
Speaker 1: Like they're putting their body on the line for the team,
Speaker 1: and I tried to get on the floor sometimes, but
Speaker 1: it's a little more difficult for me. So when I
Speaker 1: see them doing it inspires me. I want to get
Speaker 1: on the floor.
Speaker 2: Also to get up.
Speaker 1: There was one I set a flare screen on Ash
Speaker 1: one time. We had been working on it in practice,
Speaker 1: not me setting flishsh but just like flair screen setting
Speaker 1: them in general, and I set one on Ash. She
Speaker 1: got an open three, she hit it, and there's a
Speaker 1: clip of it. We watched it in film and we
Speaker 1: just like turn and smile at each other because we
Speaker 1: were like, that was a great screen and that was
Speaker 1: a great shot. And but I was I was very
Speaker 1: happy about that's very proud of that screen.
Speaker 3: In the five years you were at Yukon, who challenged
Speaker 3: you the most in practice? Other than me? Okay, but
Speaker 3: I still who challenged you the most?
Speaker 4: I want to know who's hard to guard and who
Speaker 4: was guardian locking you up?
Speaker 3: And who just couldn't guard you.
Speaker 2: Police can't guard me. She tries, she really tries to soul.
Speaker 2: She tries her hardest, but she can't. Oh, I can't
Speaker 2: wait till this come out.
Speaker 1: I mean Honestly, most of the time we play against
Speaker 1: practice guys, but I will say we play against each other.
Speaker 1: Nika was the worst to be on the other team against,
Speaker 1: like the worst. I'll never forget playing. We had a
Speaker 1: three on three tournament one year. It was literally a bloodbath.
Speaker 1: That is someone that you want on your team and
Speaker 1: you never.
Speaker 2: Want to play against.
Speaker 1: Hardest to guard. I mean, Sarah's strong, like there's no
Speaker 1: guarding her unless you fell her. Challenging the most.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean it's like I guess the coaches and the
Speaker 4: coaches and their drills with they asked, but then the
Speaker 4: practice guys, they show up every single day, make us better, compete,
Speaker 4: never make things easy on us. In fact, they try
Speaker 4: way too hard sometimes, but that's what makes us better.
Speaker 4: So I love our practice squad for some of them
Speaker 4: that like, they show up every day and they take
Speaker 4: pride and what they do and they're doing it for free.
Speaker 4: They're doing that for us, So I really, I really
Speaker 4: really appreciate that. I'm gonna miss them a lot.
Speaker 3: Is it like every practice are you busting the practice squad?
Speaker 3: Like a healthy mix of both.
Speaker 1: They have their moments, for sure. Yeah, I'm leaving at
Speaker 1: that they have the moments for sure. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: you got to stop those good you gotta stop good job.
Speaker 1: That's what she's supposed to do, all right.
Speaker 4: When you think about leaving, what's one thing you're taking
Speaker 4: with you that has nothing to do with basketball?
Speaker 1: All the relationships that I've built with I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: my teammates, they're stuck with me forever, but even just
Speaker 1: the staff, like the support, the coach. Obviously the coaches too,
Speaker 1: I will always keep in touch with them. I'll be
Speaker 1: asked you, no, I'm sure for advice and whatnot these
Speaker 1: next couple of months. But the support staff, the relationship
Speaker 1: I've built with them, some of the managers, from the
Speaker 1: practice players. I feel like I've been really fortunate to
Speaker 1: just have such a great group around Like not we
Speaker 1: always talk about the team and the coaches and how
Speaker 1: amazing they are, but the support stuff that's around us,
Speaker 1: the managers, the parks players, everyone behind the scenes that
Speaker 1: helps get everything done, Like they are such incredible people
Speaker 1: and I love them all so definitely my release, just
Speaker 1: all of them. I never want that to end.
Speaker 3: And your five years at Yukon, do you have a
Speaker 3: professor that might have impacted you, like.
Speaker 1: I really just can't take you seriously, but yes I did.
Speaker 1: My professor was one of the last classes I took
Speaker 1: my undergrad before I graduated. It was I don't even
Speaker 1: know what the title class was anyways, his name was Vishaal.
Speaker 1: It was like a personal finance there's like an introduction
Speaker 1: of personal finance class. They started so like athletes and
Speaker 1: students could get that little intro to who weren't in
Speaker 1: business and finance majors could get a little intro. And
Speaker 1: it was I think his first time teaching it, the
Speaker 1: first time having it, and it was he made it
Speaker 1: so fun, like he made it so fun. He might
Speaker 1: have said my name wrong for a little bit, but
Speaker 1: that's okay. He was awesome and you could tell he
Speaker 1: loved teaching. And it was a bunch of athletes in
Speaker 1: the class. I was in it with ash Alex in
Speaker 1: the class mother men's players. But just like his passion
Speaker 1: for teaching made it exciting to learn. And that is
Speaker 1: the reason why I ended up getting my almost getting
Speaker 1: am almost there, guys, getting decided to get my MBA.
Speaker 1: I was going to do sport management for grad school
Speaker 1: and then I took this class spring semester right before
Speaker 1: I graduated, and I was like, hold on talking to
Speaker 1: my academic advisors, like, I know I have no prior
Speaker 1: business marketing, no prior business knowledge, but is it possible,
Speaker 1: Like this class is really made me interested, and so
Speaker 1: I I definitely need to write him and think, you know,
Speaker 1: and let him know just the impact he said on me,
Speaker 1: because I I'm super excited to be finishing on my
Speaker 1: degree now with my MBA and I wouldn't have done
Speaker 1: that if wasn't for them.
Speaker 3: Shut out professor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the cool guy. He's a cool guy.
