The fact that you're sixteen is just so impressive 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 3: to me because you feel so grown. When I was sixteen, 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 3: I was, oh gosh, shaped like a pair, just got 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 3: rid of the unibrow, very socially awkward, just trying to 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: find my way, very like, you know, I'm playing basketball, 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: I'm playing volleyball. But I'm like super gangly. I don't 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: really like have body controle, kind of a hermit, kind 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: of a hermit in terms of like I used to 20 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,639 Speaker 3: eat lunch in the library like I. 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: Was a little I was a little studious. 22 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: I don't know about studious. I just like I really 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: was more of an introvert, and I think actually I 24 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,639 Speaker 3: kind of still am. But but yeah, I wasn't peeking 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: like you at sixteen. 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: So good for you, thank you, thank you. But what 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: was your game like? 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: Like were you even if you maybe weren't mature as 29 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: a kid, do you think your game was still mature? 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: I mean I've always been super competitive and just never 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: created the moment. But I mean I came off the 32 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 3: bench in high school. 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: I tried four years. 34 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: No the first year I came off the bench, and 35 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: then my second year I kind of took a leap. 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: So I was probably about like sixteen. Wish I would, 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: But I tell kids all the time, I'm like, dude, 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: Like I was like eighth man on my high school 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: team as a freshman, Like it's okay, just it's okay. 40 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: Everyone runs their own race and you'll be fine. Just 41 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: keep chipping away. But my game was like growing and 42 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: I was very, very very locked in. Like I knew 43 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: I wanted to play basketball in college, Like I knew 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: I wanted to get a lot better. So the work 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: ethic was there, but it definitely took some time. 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: And growing up in San Diego, have you had any 47 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: experiences or relationships with any NBA players or w NBA 48 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: players growing up that were sort of mentors to you. 49 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: I didn't. The best example I had was this girl 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: in high school. Her name was London Houchin. She ended 51 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: up going to USD, but I went to like a 52 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: camp when I was a kid, and she was like 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: the best player and I really resonated with her. But 54 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: to be honest, I didn't have anyone locally that I 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: was like super locked into. So definitely, like when I 56 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: am here in Vegas, especially, I try to make it 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: a point to like get out in the community and 58 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: just like year round young women especially because it really 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: does matter. It really does matter when you meet someone 60 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: and have an impression and they can kind of see 61 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: you and and see that you're a human being just 62 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: like them, and it gives a lot more fuel to 63 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: the fire. 64 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: But what was your then first experience with a professional 65 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: basketball player, Not until you made it to the league. 66 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: My first real experience with the pro was actually when 67 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: I was in college and I met Diana. She came 68 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: to one of my games in college, and that was 69 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: that was a surreal moment. I mean, she she's someone 70 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: that I grew up watching and tried to emulate my 71 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: game after and I remember, like halfway through the first quarter, 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: I look over and I see you're sitting on the 73 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: baseline and I'm freaking out. I'm like, oh my god, 74 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: because that's that's that's the goat, right, And so I 75 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: think that was my first experience. And then after the game, 76 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: I walked out and I was nervous. My palms were sweaty, 77 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: like my butt was tight, like I'm like and she 78 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: just was like plumy and gave me this big hug. 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: And it was after that it just really like took 80 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: off from there. 81 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: That's so special. 82 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: So when you were a junior in high school, I 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: heard a story that your team La Joya Country Day 84 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: went thirty two to one and you guys won the 85 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: CIF State final by forty points. I want to know 86 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: what stood out about that season to you, Like, I 87 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: can't imagine what it's like going from being a freshman 88 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: not even playing and then being able to win CIF State. 89 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: Oh Man, that was one of the best teams I've 90 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: ever played on. There was six of us that went 91 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: Division one and we were all like hoopers. I mean, 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: they had us picking up full court pressing the entire game, 93 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 3: just trying to like steal steal the ball, and we 94 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: played really fast and really hard. Yeah. I mean, listen, 95 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: when you talk about like California basketball, especially when when 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: I was in high school. I mean, it's still really 97 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: good now, but we had a lot of competition. So 98 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: to be able to go thirty two and one was 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: like there was a pride there, you know. 100 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: Yeah. 101 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: I went to my first Sierra Canyon game last night 102 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: and being there and seeing like Scottie Pippen, Matt Barnes, 103 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: Keny Martin, all these ex NBA players sitting there court 104 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: side and watching these kids just ball out in front 105 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: of them.

And just 107 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: like how high school basketball has evolved so much to 108 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: create these like super teams.

What she's doing is unprecedented, and 507 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 3: you know, she's getting really close to the record and 508 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 3: I'm excited for because I really do think records are 509 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 3: made to be broken, you know, and I've been in 510 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: that spot before, so you know, for her to handle 511 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 3: it and just perform and continue to outshine even the 512 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: high expectations is really really impressive. When you can shoot 513 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: and uh, you know, when you're a big guard, you're 514 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 3: gonna do good. You're gonna do good in the leagues. 515 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: I don't I don't worry about her transition too much. 516 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: And obviously Caitlyn has the hype. I'm curious if there's 517 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: any up and coming young female players that we don't 518 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 2: know as much about that you want a spotlight. 519 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: I love Hannah Hildalgo. I love her. She she goes 520 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: to Notre Dame. She plays both sides of the ball. 521 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 3: She's just this tenacious, fiery, super skilled but competitive. She's 522 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: a freshman, she's not playing like one. So I would 523 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 3: say I'm a Canna Hildago fan. 524 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about your teammates. What is 525 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: your favorite thing about Age's game? 526 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 3: Oh, I have a lot of favorite things about her game. 527 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 3: I would probably say just her passion. You know, she 528 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 3: plays with heart and especially game in and game out, 529 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 3: Like she doesn't take plays off for games off. She's 530 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 3: just always coming to compete. And that's that's definitely my 531 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 3: favorite part. 532 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 2: And next with Cannis Parker, by the way, Slow Knows 533 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 2: Alum love it. What is the best piece of advice 534 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: she's ever given you? 535 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 3: Candy? Candy, Oh, best piece of advice. The best piece 536 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 3: of advice is that you know, Candis has been in 537 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 3: the league for a long time and she told me, 538 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 3: you know a lot of times when you have success 539 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: in the prior year, you come back and you try 540 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 3: to like reinvent your game, but honestly, it's really about 541 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: being able to kind of just like repeat what you 542 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 3: just did, and yeah, you add little details along the way, 543 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 3: but you're not reinventing basketball. And so I just like that. 544 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 3: I really resonated with that. And every season is completely different. 545 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: Every season takes on an identity of its own, has 546 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 3: its ups and downs, different challenges, and so you can't 547 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 3: approach every season the same. 548 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: What about your game did you have to improve most 549 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: from college to then excel in the W. 550 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 3: I would say changing my body being a different type 551 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 3: of athlete. You know, in college, you know you can 552 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 3: get by being a little bit faster than people and 553 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 3: a little bit more crafty. In the pros, you have 554 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: to have multiple speeds. I would compare it to being 555 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: like a sports car. You have to be able to 556 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: shift gears, and that takes a lot of strength, and 557 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: that takes a lot of conditioning and endurance, and so 558 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: like building up your body to be able to handle 559 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 3: the acceleration and deceleration of basketball, has been able to 560 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: take my game to a different level. 561 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: So like Lightning McQueen from cars. 562 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I like that exactly, Lightning McQueen. 563 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 2: I can't think of any other, Like, I don't know 564 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: anything about cars. That's like the only thing that I 565 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: could think of. So I was like, okay, Lightning McQueen, 566 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: I get it. Throughout the history of sports. There's been 567 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: some incredible number tens. What went through your head when 568 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: you were picking that number? 569 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 3: I didn't pick it. 570 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: I yeah, you just got lucky. 571 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 3: No, it was just I was in high school and 572 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 3: that was the only number. I was a freshman, so 573 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: you get last pick, and that was the only number left. 574 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 3: So I just took it. And then when I got 575 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: to college, they gave me ten. When I got to 576 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 3: the pros, they gave me ten. And here we are 577 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: just always saying. 578 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 2: Now you get to be one of those amazing number tens. 579 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: That's so cool. 580 00:28:59,240 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: Okay. 581 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: So the last part of this interview is what I 582 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: like to call this trivia segment, right where I know 583 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: your game, but to you, that's the thing that I 584 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: want to know. So Kelsey, I'm gonna ask you about 585 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 2: seven to eight questions about yourself. And though you may 586 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: think I know a lot about myself, you will be 587 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: shocked how badly you're probably gonna do on this trivia. 588 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be real with you. 589 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: No one ever does well. So here is the scoring system. 590 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: So I am the judge, and there's no complaints, Like, 591 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 2: you can't complain with the ref If you do, I 592 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: will tee you up. 593 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: It's very strict. 594 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 2: So if you are nowhere close in my opinion, you 595 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: got a zero. If I think you're in the ballparked 596 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: of the correct answer, or you know you paid me 597 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: a little or I'm just trying to be nice, whatever, 598 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: I'll give you zero point five points. If you're very close, 599 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 2: I'll give you one point, and if you get it correct, 600 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 2: I will give you two points. 601 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 3: Okay, Wait, what's the best score anyone's ever gotten on this? 602 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: Okay, So it's sort of confusing because I only just 603 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: started scoring because I've been doing trivia for so long, 604 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: and I would just make it up. I'd be like, okay, 605 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 2: for that one, you got like five points, for that 606 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: one you got like zero, and there wasn't like a 607 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: real scoring. But last week I interviewed Santi al Dama 608 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: of the Grizzlies, and he was the first person with 609 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: this new point system, and he got eleven points, which 610 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: was actually really impressive. So let's see if you can 611 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: beat the Spanish goat, not really, but one of the 612 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 2: Spanish goats, Santy. Okay, So, first, you were named an 613 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: Academic All American in twenty sixteen at Washington. 614 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: What was your college GPA. 615 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, three point four to six. 616 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Three point three?

Okay, that's one point. 618 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: You're the d one all time leading scorer for women. 619 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: How many points is that? 620 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 3: Three? Twenty seven? 621 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: Correct? 622 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: That is crazy? Okay, So you're already at three. So 623 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 2: that's that's big time. 624 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: Okay.
