2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: a championship. Talk about you know Washington and your years there,

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: and then how was that.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Club it was? But it was a club out there

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: I used to go to.

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 3: It had like full levels what you want, you want

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 3: Rose or you want?

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: It was like four. It kept maybe three levels or three.

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 3: That's the one next to Rosewall on the blank right now.

10
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 4: But it used to be okay, Chocolate City is right, okay,

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 4: right or not?

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: I love there and just that experience.

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 4: So I was a mid major kid. I know, I

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: went to Maryland my first year, but transfer right. I

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 4: transferred so my grandfather had gotten sick, my sister had

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: gone six of just being closer to home. Saint Joe's

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: was twenty minutes for my family. So that was the

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 4: most important thing. Whether or not the w n b

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 4: A was going to be in my reality because of

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: politics and everything that you know can come in, I

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: didn't know, but I just knew again trusting God's process

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: for my life, that was the right thing for me.

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: So I'm a mid major kid getting drafted second round.

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: I'm coming in there. I'm like, I'm just going to

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 4: be a sponge. But I'm going to get this job.

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: Just because you're drafted doesn't mean that you're guaranteed that's

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 4: fot especially.

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: On couch.

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: Right here, man, Okay, period, because for the first five

30
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: years of my career, I slept on the couch store

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: in training camp, like I was not playing like I

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: needed to be in the mentality of like, my job

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: isn't yeah, my job is in promise.

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: So uh, I came in young.

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 4: I was a little bit immature in the early stages

36
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: of my career, right, but I was committed. Okay, bad,

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: but I was committed to get like growing as a

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: point guard, you have to be solid as a player,

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: as a leader, as like a feel for.

40
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: The whole team. So I've grown. I won a championship there.

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 4: I was able to grow. I was able to go

42
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: through all those ebbs and flows. I found my voice

43
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: and who I was as an advocate there and the

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: most powerful city in the entire world. And I really

45
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: just like created like me there and like all the

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 4: intersectionalities atash. But to win a championship as a mid

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: major kid that wasn't expected to be in the w NBA,

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: the point guard that is always up there with the

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: top of the toss but never get talked about like

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: that was really cool for me. And to share that

51
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: with my family again, that had sacrificed so much my parents,

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: like mom working from nine to five then coming home

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: and taking care of us, my dad working two jobs,

54
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 4: just to share that moment and everything they've sacrificed in

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: order for you to get there.

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: Like, that's what that shit's about, you know.

57
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: So I love my time in DC. Now, how y'all

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: did me when when when the ship was the ship,

59
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: that's a different story. I compartmentalized because I would never

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: change my Yeah, I would never change my journey. Truly,

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: I would never change it. And I'm where my feet

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: are today because of it. And I just know that

63
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: God moved me when I needed to be moved, and.

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: That's where we go.

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: I say.

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, y'all still fould for that ship.

67
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: I say, I say this respectfully, and this is no

68
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: this is not coming from a place where you know

69
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: we holding grudges or we but I think all of

70
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: us have had our feelings.

71
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: Hurt in this sport, for sure, by the business.

72
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: Side, the businesses.

73
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: All of us have had our feelings hurt by the business.

74
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: And I think That's what people at home don't understand

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: about professional athletes. They think that we're desensitized to certain

76
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: things because we make a lot of money.

77
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: We're still human.

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: I think that business side has interfered with all of

79
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: our lives at some point, at some point, you know

80
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

81
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: That's not easy that Listen. I never forget when they

82
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: got rid of Killer his back was broken.

83
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: I was like, YU for that wance.

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: You get rid of him now while his back is broken,

85
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 1: at least let him fix his back.

86
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was crazy all that. That was crazy that

87
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: people don't realize that tossed out with a bad back ship.

88
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Listen, they shut me down five years too early, if

89
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: you ask me, Okay, holding me back my last game

90
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: I had twenty four Let him come. So listen, we

91
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: all had that. I've had our feelings hurt by these organizations.

92
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think we would change the journey. And

93
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: I think that we're still grateful for the time that

94
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: we've had. Absolutely, but we had our feelings hurt. This

95
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: is what peop don't understand it. We get we a

96
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: little sensitive. We we I got feelings.

97
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: We put our lives into this ship.

98
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: Okay, everything, the time that we sacrificed away from our family,

99
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: through injuries, through just crazy ship.

100
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,360

Speaker 4: You at okay, little no, but the Phoenix decision just came.

123
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 4: I was just ready.

124
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: For such a change.

125
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: I feel like I had been in d C and

126
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 4: in my comfort in two hours from my family for

127
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: so long, and I was really just ready to delve

128
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 4: into whatever God had for that next process for me.

129
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: So really challenging myself.

130
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: Can I be everything that I know I am as

131
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: a player in d C? Can I do that somewhere else?

132
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: And where I wanted to do it with Phoenix. When

133
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: you talk about Phoenix, you talk about the investment of

134
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 4: Matt and Josh and everything that they have invested into

135
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 4: that team, not only our organ over their organization, but

136
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: the Sun's organization as well.

137
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: They just they do things the right way.

138
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: And when you're talking about like being a part of

139
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: that next progression of women's basketball, they're putting pressure on

140
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: every other team Natives and that that.

141
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: Hey, hey listen, that's my guy.

142
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, next time you talk to Nativets, ask him who

143
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: whooped his ass in high school?

144
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: I will, because he's good.

145
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 3: He's the coach he was with.

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 5: Orlando Davis played high school basketball hour away from me.

147
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 5: His senior year. They're probably one of the best teams

148
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 5: in state. We beat him. Nate, Sorry about that the

149
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: state about the ass But then they went on and

150
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: was coaching Forever Portland Orlando Magic and then two years ago,

151
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 5: right two years ago, I think this was maybe right,

Speaker 5: he took the Phoenix.

153
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: Uh so his last year was this first year after

154
