Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 3: Everyone, we have a fun episode today.
Speaker 2: Today's our mail back episode and we have a bunch
Speaker 2: of questions that we're going to answer from the fans.
Speaker 2: We've been seeing all your comments, your reposts.
Speaker 3: Azy.
Speaker 2: We got a lot of questions to get to. But first,
Speaker 2: I just want to know how you doing, girl.
Speaker 3: I'm doing Hi.
Speaker 1: My body hurts right now, but it feels good to
Speaker 1: be sore. It feels good to be back. So I'm great.
Speaker 3: How are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm excited.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna be tuned in for your season, so
Speaker 2: you know you're getting into it, back into a rhythm,
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to it. So our first question
Speaker 2: from the fans is what should your fandom name be?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I have no idea.
Speaker 2: No, listen, I've been seeing a couple suggestions. So let's
Speaker 2: go through a couple. Well them, you tell me what
Speaker 2: you think.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So the first one is the fundamentals like the fud dementals.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 2: Another one is fud muffins cute. This one might be
Speaker 2: my favorite that I saw, the Royal Court.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Another one the People's pers Okay, so silent. Now, I
Speaker 2: don't know how I would say this. Is it going
Speaker 2: to be silent?
Speaker 3: A seasons? But it's about like Assassin or is it Assassin?
Speaker 2: Still with z's so it's like A Z Z A
Speaker 2: S S. I.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's creative. I like that, but yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you say that me neither.
Speaker 2: Paisy's in waiting. Oh lord, the motherfudder's wait that now,
Speaker 2: the motherfuckers is crazy. You might have to get that
Speaker 2: on the shirt. Okay, this is cute, the fuddies very cute.
Speaker 3: See okay, okay.
Speaker 2: And then the last one I saw was the thirty
Speaker 2: five Hive.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's some ones in there, there are some good
Speaker 1: ones in there. People are so creative.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Another question for my listener is they want to know
Speaker 2: what hairstyle do you love the most on you? So
Speaker 2: we've seen curls. Do you like it straight in? What's
Speaker 2: your preferred style? I feel like since I've been in college,
Speaker 2: my goal was to really embrace the curls. I didn't
Speaker 2: really like my curls in high school, and I feel
Speaker 2: like i've done a good job of that. So something
Speaker 2: with my curls out, Like the easiest thing for me
Speaker 2: is some sort of like braid like back into my
Speaker 2: curls down so it's not in my face. But I've
Speaker 2: been really loving when the hairstylist I work with Haley
Speaker 2: when she does like a messy updo or like there's
Speaker 2: curls like falling like a half a half down. But
Speaker 2: something with my curls out, I've been really loving the
Speaker 2: curls lately. What's your favorite for yourself? Well, I do
Speaker 2: want to say, I do love your curls. I love
Speaker 2: your curls styles. I love it when it's out and
Speaker 2: you know, when it's up, you still got a couple
Speaker 2: of curls falling fire. My favorite style would probably be
Speaker 2: so I do wear my hair out curly occasionally, but
Speaker 2: the maintenance is so much sometimes so I like to
Speaker 2: wear braids or twists, which is, you know, typically how
Speaker 2: I wear on the show. So that's definitely my favorite
Speaker 2: style on me. What is the worst haircut or style
Speaker 2: you've ever had?
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I've never really had a
Speaker 1: bad I mean like I usually just don't do my
Speaker 1: hair like today and really brushingly.
Speaker 3: That's why it looks like this.
Speaker 1: But when I get my hair trimmed, it's like that difficult.
Speaker 1: Like I used to get it trimmed when it was straight.
Speaker 1: When it curls, then it'll curl differently, it'll shrink differently.
Speaker 1: I think one of my most recent haircuts, I got
Speaker 1: it trimmed, and you know, like shrinkage is a real thing.
Speaker 3: So it like shrunk a bunch and I got like
Speaker 3: it was like a.
Speaker 1: Good little bit chopped off and it was probably like
Speaker 1: here and Page was like, you've just.
Speaker 3: Got a bob, Like your bob is ugly, and I'm like, it's.
Speaker 1: Not a bob. But like when I like when it's wet,
Speaker 1: it's like down to here, but then it's shrinks and here.
Speaker 1: M So that's that's the frustrating part the trip.
Speaker 2: But you know, shrinkage means that your hair is like healthy,
Speaker 2: So I definitely get it because when my hair is
Speaker 2: blown out, it's way longer than compared to it right
Speaker 2: after a wash. And then how do you explain to
Speaker 2: people when your hair is like three different lengths depending
Speaker 2: on what you decide to do with it. People away
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I love it did you get extensions.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, girl, it's just blown out. I just
Speaker 2: put some heat on it.
Speaker 1: Everyone thought I had extensions in for the draft.
Speaker 2: Wait me too, No, that's mine. Okay, inches, okay inches. No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was beautiful. I loved it.
Speaker 2: But it's because we probably haven't seen you with it
Speaker 2: straight in a while.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I hadn't trained it in like four years
Speaker 3: because I was trying to embrace the girls. Listen.
Speaker 2: The worst hairstyle that I ever got wasn't my act
Speaker 2: s't hair style. It was a wig and it was
Speaker 2: a bob and it was giving like straight across and
Speaker 2: I was the bangs.
Speaker 3: It wasn't a bust down bob. We will not know.
Speaker 2: It was not a bust down girl. It was all busted. Okay,
Speaker 2: not bust down bob. It was a busted bob, That's
Speaker 2: what it was. It was cooked and we will not
Speaker 2: drop a picture. Please, I need to see this texted
Speaker 2: to your phone.
Speaker 3: I'll text you. Is not for everybody, okay.
Speaker 2: One of the listeners asked, if you weren't playing basketball,
Speaker 2: what would your post grad like job be. Let's say
Speaker 2: no sports, because I know you love flag football. I
Speaker 2: know you love we're going to exports. If I was
Speaker 2: a NARP, I think we.
Speaker 3: Got to break it down what that means. But go ahead,
Speaker 3: what would you be?
Speaker 1: I us still love math and I still like it.
Speaker 1: I feel like just because it was black and white,
Speaker 1: like either you get it or you don't. And if
Speaker 1: you don't get it, then so used to learn something.
Speaker 1: I don't know engineering, but something related because I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed doing that. Okay, so I don't know something math
Speaker 1: related for sure, though we love an educated girly.
Speaker 2: What are you doing if I was, well, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm no longer playing basketball, so I would definitely do
Speaker 2: something surrounding the game. But if I couldn't, that's a
Speaker 2: great question. I'd probably be like a teacher, you know,
Speaker 2: but like a dance teacher, not like no, yeah, girl,
Speaker 2: I'm not pa. I'd rather do something in movement. If
Speaker 2: it can't be basketball, would be something else.
Speaker 3: I would come to your d classes.
Speaker 2: Yes you ain't KK my girls, I need it for
Speaker 2: the listeners. A NARP, I don't know what you the
Speaker 2: way that you describe it, but an art for me.
Speaker 2: When I was in college, we call them non athletic
Speaker 2: regular people. So that's basically anyone who wasn't like on
Speaker 2: a college sports team. But we love y'all. Okay, we
Speaker 2: still love y'all. We are not who we are without
Speaker 2: the narps. I love my n I technically am one
Speaker 2: now because I'm no longer playing college sports. At least
Speaker 2: it was specific to that back when we were when
Speaker 2: I was in college.
Speaker 1: I hope people don't take offense to that. It's not
Speaker 1: I don't say it an offensive way I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: We also don't say to them, right, we're not like,
Speaker 2: oh hey, NARP, like what's up? It's like something that
Speaker 2: would be like when we're talking to other athletes who
Speaker 2: we're referring to, people who you know, aren't on a
Speaker 2: sports team.
Speaker 3: Who should play.
Speaker 2: You in the futter around and find out movie? Sandeya period,
Speaker 2: I don't know why he was looking around all right?
Speaker 3: Who would play you? Who would play me?
Speaker 2: First of all, would love to have a segment in
Speaker 2: this fut around and find out movie? Now, when I
Speaker 2: say these things, that don't that doesn't mean I believe
Speaker 2: that they look like me. But I would love to
Speaker 2: have like a Coco Jones or someone play me. I
Speaker 2: just think she's beautiful, so I would love her to
Speaker 2: play me in a movie in the fund around and
Speaker 2: find out movie. Okay, okay, thank you, right, let's just
Speaker 2: find the most beautiful talented people to have cosplay us.
Speaker 2: All right, So next question, have you ever been told
Speaker 2: you look like someone famous?
Speaker 3: And if so, who I'll start.
Speaker 2: I was told that I was looking like I used
Speaker 2: to look like Lisa Leslie when I was younger, And
Speaker 2: at first I was like, what you're trying to say?
Speaker 2: What you're trying to say because when I was younger,
Speaker 2: I didn't play basketball.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know what that meant.
Speaker 2: And then when I discovered the game of basketball, I
Speaker 2: was like, thank you, What a compliment.
Speaker 3: She's is a legend Hall of.
Speaker 2: Famer, going down in the history books as one of
Speaker 2: the best women's basketball players ever.
Speaker 3: So thank you very much. Okay, I've never I don't
Speaker 3: think I've been totally look like it. When KK is
Speaker 3: trying to roast me or Sarah, they say I look
Speaker 3: like the girl from Polar Express when I have two raids.
Speaker 3: But that's in there being me, you know, trying to
Speaker 3: hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2: I don't, well, she's so cute, Like I'm gagged by
Speaker 2: the jokes.
Speaker 1: It's like a picture of her when she's like on
Speaker 1: the train, like hunched over.
Speaker 3: Oh it's okay, it's okay. Oh to'll them? Do you like?
Speaker 3: That's just I'm do you like that? I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: take it. Okay.
Speaker 2: Who was your childhood crush?
Speaker 3: Okay, you go first, I'll go first.
Speaker 2: Okay, So my childhood crush. Oh okay, let me explain myself.
Speaker 3: Let me explain. I can't wait. When I was younger, right,
Speaker 3: I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I wasn't into basketball when I was in like elementary
Speaker 2: school and stuff. I want to be like an actress.
Speaker 2: So I watched a lot of movies and I remember
Speaker 2: watch and I don't know if this was appropriate, sorry mom,
Speaker 2: putting you on front, but I watched Titanic, and that
Speaker 2: movie's like three plus hour long with a lot of
Speaker 2: questionable scenes. But in Titanic, the star was Leonardo DiCaprio,
Speaker 2: and I I used to just love him and I
Speaker 2: used to watch all of his movies after seeing Titanic,
Speaker 2: So he was my first little movie crush, my celebrity crush.
Speaker 3: Okay, what about you.
Speaker 1: I used to think that zach Efron was really cute.
Speaker 1: Let's say, say his name right from high school. And
Speaker 1: then also when I was watching Gossip Girl, I was
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Blake Lively. Okay, that was like
Speaker 1: that was like before, you know, not not after all
Speaker 1: that's happening.
Speaker 2: I Gossip Girl used to film near my middle school,
Speaker 2: which is so crazy.
Speaker 3: Yes, we used to.
Speaker 2: So I used to go to Wagner on the Upper
Speaker 2: east Side and they legit filmed, like you know, the
Speaker 2: whole Girls show is like about these rich young people
Speaker 2: doing life, and then we used to They used to
Speaker 2: literally record in rich neighborhoods and at the time, it's
Speaker 2: like the Upper east Side.
Speaker 3: Was super cool. Were you ever in the background of
Speaker 3: an episode?
Speaker 2: No child labor laws and you know, release forms that
Speaker 2: would have to be signed. But I wish I definitely
Speaker 2: got to meet and see a lot of the actors
Speaker 2: and actresses, but nope, no cameos for you guys to
Speaker 2: secretly fine with me.
Speaker 3: Darn all right.
Speaker 2: We got some other good questions from some of the fans.
Speaker 2: If you could eat one meal for a week straight,
Speaker 2: what would it be?
Speaker 1: Okay, my teammates judge me, they make fun of my
Speaker 1: eating habits, but I feel like my favorite like easiest
Speaker 1: healthy go to thing to eat when I'm at school
Speaker 1: is like this.
Speaker 3: It's like it'll be like a greens and grain bowl.
Speaker 1: So it'll be like mixed greens quen wa sometimes some
Speaker 1: cottage cheese, sometimes not, some sort of protein like a
Speaker 1: hard boiled egg, a chicken. Sometimes it'll be like goat
Speaker 1: cheese and like nuts, but some sort of like mixed
Speaker 1: greens and grainsville.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's just so good to me.
Speaker 2: I don't know, is that your favorite meal or is
Speaker 2: that just the one you'd have for a week straight.
Speaker 1: I could eat that for probably like a month straight
Speaker 1: and not get tired of it. It's definitely my go
Speaker 1: to to make when I'm at school, But I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say like my faite. I'm like my favorite like basic
Speaker 1: at home meal, but like not my favorite all time meal.
Speaker 3: What's your favorite all time meal?
Speaker 1: My favorite all time meal is Papa's chicken palm that
Speaker 1: he makes. He makes a homemade tomato sauce too, and
Speaker 1: it's just my favorite and like makes me so happy.
Speaker 1: It's like one of those like just feel good meals too,
Speaker 1: Like it just brings back so many memories from my
Speaker 1: childhood and everything.
Speaker 2: Oh sweet, my favorite meal is anything my mother makes,
Speaker 2: and she makes just taste right. It doesn't even matter,
Speaker 2: Like it's something about you know how you mentioned with
Speaker 2: your papa, Like it's something about your parents or a
Speaker 2: home cooked meal or someone who loves you that makes
Speaker 2: it with love. That's that hits it right on the head.
Speaker 2: I'm made with love, does it? So?
Speaker 3: What would you eat for a week, a week straight
Speaker 3: and there was no consequences?
Speaker 2: You know, I really like Thai food, so I'd probably
Speaker 2: do like a veggie pat tie no bean sprouts, yum.
Speaker 3: I could eat that definitely for a week. That actually
Speaker 3: sounds so good. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 3: I also love a salmon, rice and beans.
Speaker 2: I like asparagus mashed potatoes, so I would do salmon, asparagus,
Speaker 2: mashed potatoes, rice and beans, and some kind of fish.
Speaker 3: These are my I just like to eat girl, big foodie,
Speaker 3: anything there have no consequences. I might eat Mexican for
Speaker 3: a whole year, Come on, Mexican food?
Speaker 2: Same?
Speaker 3: What case? Idea?
Speaker 2: Chips and guat? Maybe I love brushing. I'll beyond a thousand,
Speaker 2: but who cares. Another question from one of the listeners
Speaker 2: is what emoji do you use the most?
Speaker 1: I feel like recently, I've been using the tongue out emoji.
Speaker 3: Now explain yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like I use it in
Speaker 1: all different types of conversations and scenarios, just like an
Speaker 1: A like tongue out emoji or I don't.
Speaker 3: Know what make your fun I go to? Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: my go to emoji is probably the heart.
Speaker 2: I sent a lot of heart in praying hands or
Speaker 2: smiley faces.
Speaker 3: There were a laughing, crying ones like a funny friend.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good. Yeah, same? Oh okay.
Speaker 2: So one of my favorite fashion trends that are coming
Speaker 2: back into stop well, I mean, I guess it's been
Speaker 2: in style.
Speaker 3: So you know, we went skinny jeans a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Then it was like the big big pants, baggy pants, Like,
Speaker 2: where are we going pull the pants up? I love
Speaker 2: a good flared at the bottom vibe. I love bell bottom,
Speaker 2: but not like commit fully to the bell bottom look
Speaker 2: paired with something a little tight, girly with popa color
Speaker 2: at the top.
Speaker 3: That's a fashion trend I love. What about you?
Speaker 2: What is a fashion trend that maybe went out of
Speaker 2: style coming back into stuff that you enjoy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna to agree with you on that. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's honestly, my go to look is like a
Speaker 1: bag of your pant or it's like some sort of
Speaker 1: I like the tomboyish, but like still have like that
Speaker 1: feminine touch with a crop on top or a tighter top.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's my go too. The skinny jean,
Speaker 1: I look like a pictures of that, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like the rip skinny jeans especially,
Speaker 1: I just went through my closet and the amount of
Speaker 1: rip skinny jeans I pulled out and I tried them
Speaker 1: on and they still But I'm like, what were we doing?
Speaker 3: And also what will we wear with that?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine putting that together.
Speaker 2: I'm like, like the little like cross dark times we
Speaker 2: say that, oh my goodness, the uggs and the skinny
Speaker 2: jean look with a sweater. I'm glad straight high school
Speaker 2: behind us actually don't cycle back. So you're a bigger reader,
Speaker 2: what are some books that are on your go to?
Speaker 2: Like you would you love reading them over and over?
Speaker 2: Or books you're looking forward to reading. Okay, we're going
Speaker 2: to do books I'm looking forward to reading. I bought
Speaker 2: the book Remarkably Bright Creatures. This summer and I haven't
Speaker 2: read it yet. I've heard some really good things about it,
Speaker 2: so that's next on my reading list. And then I
Speaker 2: also want to read more books by black authors. I
Speaker 2: read I think it was called The Mothers in High
Speaker 2: School by Britt and I want to read I believe
Speaker 2: it's called The Vanishing Half. I think that's that's another
Speaker 2: one that I've also heard is good. But I want
Speaker 2: to tap into some more black authors. So if if
Speaker 2: anyone has any book recommendations ever, please I'm always looking,
Speaker 2: but especially if you have any book recommendations by black authors,
Speaker 2: let me know.
Speaker 3: Yes, please, Wait, so do you read?
Speaker 2: Not about to clack me, because I surely was going
Speaker 2: to go on to the next question.
Speaker 3: Okay, I do like to read. I prefer now.
Speaker 2: I told you before, I was like, I like a
Speaker 2: self help vibe, but I'm actually looking for more poetry
Speaker 2: and more relaxing things. So if you guys have any recommendations,
Speaker 2: I will also take some, preferably black authors who write poems.
Speaker 3: So definitely let us know.
Speaker 2: Okay, you guys are going to take a quick break
Speaker 2: and they will be right back to get into some
Speaker 2: basketball questions.
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back from the break, we have some
Speaker 1: more questions, Ashanti, what's next?
Speaker 2: Yes, you guys have a bunch of great questions, and
Speaker 2: the first one is azy, what was your welcome to
Speaker 2: college moment?
Speaker 1: Okay, my welcome to college moment was the summer going
Speaker 1: into my freshman year. We were playing one on one
Speaker 1: and our like individual workout. It was just me and
Speaker 1: Kristen Williams, and I was beating her and she was mad.
Speaker 1: And I was a freshman, she was a senior, and
Speaker 1: I knew I knew it was coming because she wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna let me win. But she she just like hit
Speaker 1: that point and she started putting her shoulder down and
Speaker 1: she drove on me and like put her shoulder into me.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm pretty strong and I like do
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty good job of pulling my own but
Speaker 1: she bodied me so hard it took me a second
Speaker 1: to recover.
Speaker 3: But that was I was like, yeah, maybe I'm not
Speaker 3: as strong as I think.
Speaker 2: Listen, if you remember it all these years later, it
Speaker 2: definitely was a walkome to college moment. Yes, yes, you
Speaker 2: said Christine Williams, right, didn't she recently? Oh, Kristen? Was
Speaker 2: am I wrong in saying that? She just recently signed
Speaker 2: with the Dallas Wings to play with. Yeah, congratulations to her.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 2: Okay, So other than her, who was the toughest person
Speaker 2: either on your team or someone you played against to guard?
Speaker 1: The hardest person to guard I think in the country,
Speaker 1: hands down, Sarah Strong. Guard her just when we play
Speaker 1: pickup and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. And I hold my own with her,
Speaker 3: for sure, I hold my own. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Get easy, but she she is literally a cheat code.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess people couldn't regard her this past year,
Speaker 1: but she is so hard to guard.
Speaker 2: As a fact, that's a big girl, super talented and
Speaker 2: only going to be a rising sophomore. See of course,
Speaker 2: So what is your favorite in game memory? It doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be in college, but you know, we want
Speaker 2: to know. We'll do a college one. I think, Oh,
Speaker 2: there's so many good ones. Looking back now at this
Speaker 2: past year. I think one of my favorite ones that
Speaker 2: I'll never forget is the USC game when I wasn't
Speaker 2: playing well and it just like there was a point
Speaker 2: in the game when like everyone went down the line
Speaker 2: and like got mad at me, like was saying stuff
Speaker 2: to me was getting on me, and in the moment,
Speaker 2: I was just mad. I was frustrated with myself.
Speaker 1: But looking back, like to be able to have teammates
Speaker 1: that feel like they can talk to you like that
Speaker 1: and they can like push you and try to get
Speaker 1: draw that extra like level out of you, draw that
Speaker 1: extra gear out of you.
Speaker 3: Uh, super special.
Speaker 1: So looking back at that, that meant a lot to
Speaker 1: me to have all of them, you know, supporting me
Speaker 1: in their own way, whether it was them being like
Speaker 1: you got this, with them being like like what are
Speaker 1: you doing to get out of your head out like
Speaker 1: lock in, but to have like literally each one of
Speaker 1: them at one play the game went down the line
Speaker 1: and set them in to me.
Speaker 3: So that was probably one of my favorites. And that
Speaker 3: was this year you said when you played at USC.
Speaker 3: This was we played USC and the Elite eight.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, listen, Shout out to your teammates coming together.
Speaker 3: You want good people that you can go to war with.
Speaker 2: And I mean it turned out amazing because look now
Speaker 2: you guys have a national championship under your belt. So
Speaker 2: shout out to your teammates and shout out to your
Speaker 2: coaching staff bringing these you know, unique and great individuals together.
Speaker 2: It's really hard to be able to create a team
Speaker 2: you know that will show up like that for you.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think about that a lot. Actually, it's
Speaker 2: how like they recruit these people and like you don't
Speaker 2: really know if they're gonna mesh, Like you have an
Speaker 2: idea like, oh, I think they'll fit in our culture
Speaker 2: and what we want to build. But like most of
Speaker 2: these girls never met before, never thought i'd play with them,
Speaker 2: and now they're my best friends and they make me
Speaker 2: better every single day. So shout out to the coaches
Speaker 2: for giving me my best friends. Speaking of the coaches,
Speaker 2: the big Dog coach Gino.
Speaker 3: Does Coach Gino play favorites favorites?
Speaker 1: No, I mean I guess you could think favorites in
Speaker 1: a sense like he might like get on people more
Speaker 1: where like he doesn't. Didn't you see yell at me
Speaker 1: as much where he would yell at other people more.
Speaker 2: Not people's princess, he said, he will. I mean he
Speaker 2: just started, So we'll see, we'll see. What do you
Speaker 2: think coach Gino does when he's not coaching.
Speaker 1: Uh, definitely a lot of golf, hanging out with his grandkids,
Speaker 1: going to the beach, literally just living his best life,
Speaker 1: anything anything he wants.
Speaker 2: Besides you can, what is the best arena you've played in?
Speaker 1: Uh, definitely Tennessee or South Carolina. They have really good fans,
Speaker 1: really good just environments to play in because they're loud.
Speaker 1: They love to cheer, and then it just makes it fun.
Speaker 1: Like when you're playing and then you're playing well and
Speaker 1: then they get quiet and they get loud. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a fun environment to be in.
Speaker 2: I love it, especially if they're allowed and they're like
Speaker 2: rooting against you and you prove them wrong, like, yeah, baby,
Speaker 2: we here, it's quiet now exactly. Okay, So it's your
Speaker 2: last year at Ukon, other than winning another national championship,
Speaker 2: is there like a legacy or something you want to
Speaker 2: do or leave for Yukon.
Speaker 1: I mean, being at a place like Yukon, it's hard
Speaker 1: to leave a legacy.
Speaker 3: I don't really know. I feel like I'm just excited
Speaker 3: for this year. I just want to have a great year.
Speaker 1: I want to be able to take full advantage of
Speaker 1: everything about this year, like just enjoying being in this
Speaker 1: environment because you know, when you next year, it's literally
Speaker 1: work like it's a job. It's not like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go home and hang out with my teammates, like these
Speaker 1: are my best friends, Like those are my coworkers in
Speaker 1: a sense. So being able to really enjoy just everything
Speaker 1: about this, take it all in, not take any of
Speaker 1: it for granted, and yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It kind of seems sad to think about. Okay, we
Speaker 3: could switch gears.
Speaker 2: So another question from one of the fans, I mean
Speaker 2: switching gears a little bit. They want to know a
Speaker 2: little bit about your preparation for our game.
Speaker 3: So you have a pre pregame ritual of taking a poop.
Speaker 2: Is there any other pregame rituals you have besides that?
Speaker 1: Not really, I don't take naps four games, so I
Speaker 1: guess a good pregame meal a good pregame poop. I
Speaker 1: like to listen to music, like I do a lot
Speaker 1: of like my soft tissue for like my ankle, my feet,
Speaker 1: my knee is my quad's Like I'll roll out do
Speaker 1: a lot of that little stuff in the hotel before
Speaker 1: we go, because there's not too much time once you
Speaker 1: get to the arena to do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: And then I'll usually read it devotional either in my
Speaker 1: hotel room or on the bus. I love that if
Speaker 1: we're going to the arena. Yeah, not really anything crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but that's like that's dope. Do you ever
Speaker 1: get nervous before a big games? And if so, how
Speaker 1: do you deal with that? I'm nervous for every game,
Speaker 1: Like we could play You'll play like a high school
Speaker 1: team tomorrow when I yeah, I'm nervous for every game.
Speaker 1: Uh what do I do to help that? I feel
Speaker 1: like the devotional helps. And then sometimes I'll also like
Speaker 1: in my notes in my phone, I'll write down, like
Speaker 1: my goals for the game are like kind of like
Speaker 1: affirmations in a sense, Like if I'm like not feeling
Speaker 1: confident or something like that, I'll be like, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what I'll say, it's been a while, but
Speaker 1: I'll just be like there was a game that my
Speaker 1: defense was so bad, and just like reminding myself like
Speaker 1: I'm a good defender, like I put the work in.
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm supposed to be here, Like just little
Speaker 1: things like that, like I know what I'm doing, Like
Speaker 1: just trust it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this positive self talk is so huge because even
Speaker 2: if you don't believe it in the moment, you keep
Speaker 2: saying it. Eventually your body will catch up right and
Speaker 2: get your mind right and your body will follow. That's amazing.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about your teammates. Okay, I kind of
Speaker 2: have like a pick and choose kind of question coming up.
Speaker 2: So who on your team would go viral on TikTok
Speaker 2: k of course, legendary dance moves? Yeah. Another one is
Speaker 2: who are your team? Would you not let date your
Speaker 2: daughter or son?
Speaker 1: I would not let Kalise or Jana date my daughter
Speaker 1: or son. Callise is just I just I don't think
Speaker 1: that my kids would be able to handle Caalise or Chanda. Calise,
Speaker 1: you just got a lot going on. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of personality, and I don't think my kid would be
Speaker 1: able to handle that. Janna again, a lot of personality,
Speaker 1: a lot of attitude she needs. I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if my kids would be
Speaker 1: up for that. Speaking of Kale, she's been going on
Speaker 1: and on about how she swears she can cook and
Speaker 1: let her. She told me she's gonna cook anything for
Speaker 1: me this weekend and I have to eat it, and
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. Like I'm staying positive, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: of course I'll try it, but like my expectations are
Speaker 1: pretty low. Sarah and KK. Actually we're cooking a little
Speaker 1: bit last year. They're making steaks. Its smell good. Never
Speaker 1: tried it, so maybe them. I feel like people on
Speaker 1: the team don't really cook too much, like actually cook,
Speaker 1: Yanna cooks.
Speaker 2: Actually, so I'm gonna with Yana, okay, trusting in that.
Speaker 2: I don't know about Kalise. I know what's what's the
Speaker 2: big dish out there in Baltimore. That's my girl. But
Speaker 2: I don't know, baby, I want to see.
Speaker 3: I really don't know.
Speaker 2: I'll take a picture. Yeah, call me, let me know
Speaker 2: because I'll try it. After you try it, if you survive,
Speaker 2: I'll go next. Okay, the next one? Who are your team?
Speaker 3: Would slide into a celebrities DM? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I feel like I have two answers. I feel
Speaker 1: like Calise would try to slide into someone's dmuse because
Speaker 1: she's got she's so funny. I feel like KK could
Speaker 1: successfully slide into someone's DM.
Speaker 2: Come on, smooth, got a lot of game. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: we're going with I feel like Calise would do it.
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone would respond. I think KK would
Speaker 2: do it, and I think someone would respond, Yes, enough
Speaker 2: questions about me, It's time to talk about you.
Speaker 3: Are you ready to answer some questions? Yes, let's get
Speaker 3: it all right.
Speaker 1: The first one we have is which borough in New
Speaker 1: York City has the best basketball?
Speaker 3: And why? Oh?
Speaker 2: Man? Okay, So I'm from Harlem, and Harlem is in Manhattan,
Speaker 2: but I also live in Brooklyn and have developed a
Speaker 2: family there, so that's really hard. But it's only right
Speaker 2: that I'm gonna go with Manhattan because big Harlem.
Speaker 3: So I'm picking.
Speaker 2: I'm picking Manhattan and it's because I'm from there, and
Speaker 2: that's it, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm gonna take your word for that. Okay.
Speaker 1: Next, what's the best event you've ever em seed?
Speaker 3: And why?
Speaker 2: Wow? I have been really blessed to be able to
Speaker 2: em see a couple of super dope things. The first
Speaker 2: one that comes to mind is probably the Jordan Brand
Speaker 2: the one Global Finals. It was on a rooftop. It
Speaker 2: was people from all over the world, So that was
Speaker 2: definitely one of the most exciting things that I've em
Speaker 2: seed so far.
Speaker 1: That sounds super cool. Wait was it at night or
Speaker 1: was it during the day. It was at night, so
Speaker 1: you got like the bridge in the background.
Speaker 3: It was. It was incredible. It was a really good time.
Speaker 1: That sounds so cool. Okay, what's the weirdest thing you've
Speaker 1: ever seen on the subway? That's when I'm a little
Speaker 1: scared to know your answer. I feel like it could
Speaker 1: you could go anywhere exactly, and we're gonna keep it pg.
Speaker 2: I've seen some really crazy costumes on the subway, like
Speaker 2: not Halloween.
Speaker 3: I'm talking of like folls, furries, like masks.
Speaker 2: I've seen people wear a mask of like different past presidents.
Speaker 2: I've seen, yes, random on like a Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 3: I'm like, why are we not? Why where are we going?
Speaker 2: So that's definitely some of the weirdest things I've seen
Speaker 2: on the subway Tuesday after Yeah, like what's happening? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'd be really curious to know where they were wearing
Speaker 2: that too, But okay, right, mind you it's like March, like,
Speaker 2: what's happening? Okay, who was someone you hated playing against
Speaker 2: when you are.
Speaker 3: At A and them? A great question?
Speaker 2: So it wasn't any specific person that I hated playing against,
Speaker 2: but like we had in conference rivals and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: The team that joined our conference was like U t
Speaker 2: RGV towards like the end of my college career, and
Speaker 2: when they joined it was like a Texas rival. So
Speaker 2: that was probably who I just liked playing the most.
Speaker 2: Did you guys win when oh absolutely we are undefeated
Speaker 2: against them, just to be clear. So it wasn't like
Speaker 2: you guys, But it's like the lead up to it
Speaker 2: is what made it so heated. Like you know, they
Speaker 2: would be talking smack on socials. We would be talking
Speaker 2: smack and it's like, oh, I'll see you and it's
Speaker 2: just like you know, then you get there and you
Speaker 2: cook them and it's like, yeah, watch.
Speaker 3: Watch your mouth. Next.
Speaker 2: Where would you live if you didn't live in New
Speaker 2: York City? I would live in Australia. I got to
Speaker 2: play basketball basketballs. I used to got to play basketballs
Speaker 2: over there. I had to play professionally over there, and
Speaker 2: it was amazing. It's a good mixture of the city
Speaker 2: and still like a little suburb vibe. I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: So definitely Australia, Okay, I support that. I could definitely
Speaker 2: come visit. Yes, girl, come on, Brisbane is where I'd live,
Speaker 2: So come visit me.
Speaker 3: I'm there. Next.
Speaker 1: Is it true that you went to Hebrew School?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: And what's the story there? Oh my goodness, I think.
Speaker 2: I don't know if my mom I was really little
Speaker 2: and I don't know if my mom was like volunteering
Speaker 2: or I don't remember the full story. I'll get back
Speaker 2: to you guys on that. But yes, I did go
Speaker 2: to Hebrew school. I used to be able to say
Speaker 2: the prayers and everything. But that was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: It's like my fun facts. It's like go to fun fact.
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool. That's a cool experience to have
Speaker 1: to learn that growing up. If you could design a
Speaker 1: signature shoe, what would it look like?
Speaker 2: Definitely something pink, I remember, I'd buy it PERI gery
Speaker 2: would it have to I would give you colorways and
Speaker 2: all the good things. But I remember when I saw
Speaker 2: Asia Wilson's shoe drop, I was like, this is exactly
Speaker 2: what I would want my shoes to look.
Speaker 3: It's like slick, it was pink, it was bright. I
Speaker 3: love that.
Speaker 2: So I would definitely want to do a signature shoe
Speaker 2: that would be similar, but my own touch on it.
Speaker 3: I love it already. Okay, are you ready for this one? Yes?
Speaker 3: I'm ready.
Speaker 1: F Mary Kill, Harlem soul Food, Brooklyn pizza or Bagels
Speaker 1: from Queens. Oh gosh, this is hard. Yeah, can you
Speaker 1: grow first? What would you?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: I just want to say, they're all really good, Like
Speaker 2: I enjoy all of these foods. Unfortunately, I would have
Speaker 2: to kill bagels from Queens. I would marry Harlem Soulfu
Speaker 2: and I'm a f with Brooklyn Pizza.
Speaker 1: Hey, okay, I support that again. Like you said, there's
Speaker 1: really no bad answer here.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, can we marry them all? That's really good question.
Speaker 3: I feel like you should be allowed to know. Okay, guys,
Speaker 3: that's enough questions about me. But thank you so much.
