Speaker 2: been a great day. We get to finish off with.
Speaker 3: A gold champion episode.
Speaker 2: This is gold Championship, saying it in just a short
Speaker 2: time the accolades, I mean only six years in the game,
Speaker 2: but two time MVP, two time champ, two time defensive
Speaker 2: Player of the Year in C double A champ. I
Speaker 2: mean women basketball. I mean, it doesn't get any bigger
Speaker 2: than the woman sitting next to us. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: tell you, and I'm trying to tell you you already
Speaker 2: told me. Welcome to the show, Asia Wilson, Welcome. We've
Speaker 2: been trying to lock in with you for a minute.
Speaker 2: We got your teammate, Kelsey Plumb, who was a she's
Speaker 2: so dope, a huge advocate for you. Dark she was,
Speaker 2: she was, she was all yeah, she was ready to
Speaker 2: fight some motherfuckers for you, so dope. She was down
Speaker 2: your motivation. Once said that you you imagine young black
Speaker 2: girls watching you play. What type of person do you
Speaker 2: hope to be and how do you hope to motivate
Speaker 2: this next generation that watches you coming behind you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, thank you so much, for having me.
Speaker 4: I'm excited that we finally got to lock in. But no,
Speaker 4: when I come to thinking about where do I want
Speaker 4: my legacy to be, it has to be Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: she was good at putting that basketball on the hoop,
Speaker 4: but she was an even better person, Like I want
Speaker 4: to be able to plant those seeds for the next
Speaker 4: generation to be that that tangible role model.
Speaker 5: I always like to say that because a lot of
Speaker 5: us have role models.
Speaker 4: A lot of us have people that were like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, yes, love their game, love who they are,
Speaker 4: but it's very rare that we can come in contact
Speaker 4: with them. And I want to be sure that I'm
Speaker 4: in the spaces yeah, like I'm in those rooms for
Speaker 4: them to be like, oh no, I want to be
Speaker 4: Asia Wilson, but I want to be better than her.
Speaker 4: I want to be in those sitting at those tables
Speaker 4: that we don't really get invited to. And that's what
Speaker 4: I love, and that's what I really kind of move
Speaker 4: my game of just saying, Okay, it might be one
Speaker 4: of those games where I'm exhausted, but it's this young
Speaker 4: young black girl that's out there that wants to see me,
Speaker 4: wants to be out.
Speaker 5: There and I got to show up for her, So yeah,
Speaker 5: just being there.
Speaker 2: Quick question. It's not even on the list, But where
Speaker 2: did the shorts tuck in come come from? Where'd that
Speaker 2: come in? Because you got the short tuck in, I'm
Speaker 2: just like.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I feel like I'm Nike's worth nightmare because
Speaker 4: I'm always tearing up their uniforms. But no, I wanted
Speaker 4: to tuck my shorts because I hated shorts touching my knees.
Speaker 4: I felt like I couldn't run in it. I couldn't
Speaker 4: do it, so I just always tuck it. And at
Speaker 4: this point people sometimes think it's a play call. I
Speaker 4: do it so much. I think it's just like an
Speaker 4: antic that I just do. But yeah, that's kind of
Speaker 4: what it is, and it's kind of cute, you know.
Speaker 6: So I'm glad you said that. I thought that was
Speaker 6: the reason for doing it.
Speaker 2: I got to be these days inating anything you said it.
Speaker 2: God damn right. Listening to you speak following you, you're
Speaker 2: a very humble person, but right now I want you
Speaker 2: to kind of talk to your shit. Do you feel
Speaker 2: like there's anyone in this game that's on your level
Speaker 2: right now? Because I personally, I mean there may be
Speaker 2: a few people close, but I feel like you're kind
Speaker 2: of in a class of your own right.
Speaker 7: Now, and sometimes you have to break your arm and
Speaker 7: patch yourself on the back.
Speaker 3: It ain't this and nobody else. It's just you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: You put the work in facts. This year one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: I felt like I was I was in a groove
Speaker 4: that was like untouchable.
Speaker 5: It was something that I've never like.
Speaker 4: I was so glad I was finally in it because
Speaker 4: I was like waiting on my moment, you know, like
Speaker 4: you just wait on that.
Speaker 5: Field, like nah, I'm here.
Speaker 4: And I felt like I had that like her moment,
Speaker 4: like nah, this is me, this is what I'm here
Speaker 4: to do, and no one can stop me. And it's
Speaker 4: just so funny because I have that great year and
Speaker 4: then at the end, it's like that one fourth place
Speaker 4: MB peak boat and I know I keep bringing it up,
Speaker 4: but that one boat was the vote that I'm like,
Speaker 4: oh bet, I still have more to give, Like I
Speaker 4: could still come back and play this game that I
Speaker 4: love and just tear.
Speaker 2: Thisssle really dominant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cause it's like the minute I felt like, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm in a safe space is good we playing, we winning,
Speaker 4: I'm feeling like I'm good and it was like boom,
Speaker 4: fourth place and I was like, oh, it's people out
Speaker 4: here that think I ain't good. So then it's like,
Speaker 4: gave me that chip on my shoulder now, And I
Speaker 4: think that's the exciting part.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I do kind of feel like I'm on
Speaker 5: level go.
Speaker 2: I got a chance to play with stuff. Yeah, play
Speaker 2: against Steph Curry, but play with him, and he in
Speaker 2: our game is a selfless superstar with no ego. A
Speaker 2: lot of people say you're a similar for your sport,
Speaker 2: a superstar, no ego. It's all about the team, it's
Speaker 2: all about winning. Where does that come from?
Speaker 5: Ooh? My parents.
Speaker 4: My parents are kind of one of those those two
Speaker 4: people that are like, you know, everybody eats, it's not good.
Speaker 4: I mean, the top gets lonely because you're up there
Speaker 4: pretty much by yourself, but you can always bring up
Speaker 4: others with you. And I think that's kind of how
Speaker 4: they are. And I knew when we were coming here,
Speaker 4: when they drafted me in Vegas, I was like, it's
Speaker 4: gonna take a lot of sacrifice, it's gonna take a
Speaker 4: lot of adversity. But where do we want to go,
Speaker 4: what's the culture we want to build here? And that
Speaker 4: was just coming with the sacrifice and putting everybody in
Speaker 4: front of me in that a case where all right,
Speaker 4: everybody eats, and that's when I feel the most joy.
Speaker 4: Like it's cool when you get a couple of like MVP,
Speaker 4: it's cool. But when you get them rings and it's like, no,
Speaker 4: we all did this, I feel like that's the real
Speaker 4: big moment where I'm like, nah, we were really good
Speaker 4: at this.
Speaker 7: Best memories of the twenty twenty three Championship. Y'all have
Speaker 7: a little seven Warriors team and y'all, y'all get turned up.
Speaker 2: Y'all was cracking, drinking cigars.
Speaker 3: Who party the hardest?
Speaker 2: May have been some other ship we didn't know about,
Speaker 2: but we went to.
Speaker 6: Man, I'm taking bets.
Speaker 3: I know who party the hardest?
Speaker 5: Who you think of the hardest?
Speaker 6: L you were Kelsey, you kel the ones up there
Speaker 6: with bottles.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I feel like this championship we equally were yeah,
Speaker 4: like we were like, n this the one we gotta
Speaker 4: let and I felt like we Yeah, last year was
Speaker 4: kind of we was always I was on the stupid
Speaker 4: slow last year. But this year, everybody was toe up
Speaker 4: like everybody. But I would say the highlight of this year, Oh,
Speaker 4: I just would have to be like it was game
Speaker 4: It was after Game three and we just lost to
Speaker 4: New York and we were like, man, like Chelsea's gone down,
Speaker 4: We're getting a call Kia might not play, so.
Speaker 5: It's like, what the fuck? Okay, Like it was like
Speaker 5: what the fuck and.
Speaker 4: We were just all at our we were all in
Speaker 4: this hospitality suite and we were just like playing board games.
Speaker 4: We're just looking around like how the hell we about
Speaker 4: to do this shit? And I think that was just
Speaker 4: a great memory for us because we could have like
Speaker 4: throw towel in, like we could have said, you know
Speaker 4: every reason. Yeah, Like it was like, man, we just
Speaker 4: came up here just to be up here to see
Speaker 4: the lights, like we we just need to go ahead
Speaker 4: and pack it up. But I felt like we got
Speaker 4: in so tight then that was like from that moment,
Speaker 4: I was like, no, we're not We're leaving him with
Speaker 4: something like this said were leaving here with something like
Speaker 4: we're not. We're not gonna just come up here empty handed.
Speaker 4: And I think that was my favorite moment, which just
Speaker 4: kicking it with my teammates in a space where you
Speaker 4: would think that we were crumble, but we really came
Speaker 4: together the most stronger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and those are the moments too. Obviously you got
Speaker 2: a lot of basketball heavy, but those are the moments
Speaker 2: when you're done. It's not so much the game. Those
Speaker 2: moments that you remember we talk about like the bus rides,
Speaker 2: the flights, gathering after a tough loss, or kicking it
Speaker 2: after a great win, like those are the moments to
Speaker 2: sit back in your mind like that's what I missed.
Speaker 7: Yes, for sure, the wonderful. She's a good friend of ours.
Speaker 7: Candas Parker was on your team, but she got hurt.
Speaker 7: But it says a lot about her, the player she
Speaker 7: is and everything she's she accomplished.
Speaker 3: She was your biggest cheerleader.
Speaker 7: Can we can we can you talk about the impact
Speaker 7: she made without being on the court to you'all team?
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean when you're talking about a goat, Candace
Speaker 4: is my goat and forever being.
Speaker 5: And it was just truly amazing to be her teammate.
Speaker 4: I didn't even want a fan girl because I'm like,
Speaker 4: you're my teammate and a lot we're good. But it
Speaker 4: was just like thirteen year old asiare like what like
Speaker 4: you were my screensaver I had, like I went to
Speaker 4: Tennessee to see your jersey retirement, like and now you're
Speaker 4: feeding me information, Like now you're telling me how I
Speaker 4: could continue to grow this game. And it's funny because
Speaker 4: when she all started figuring it out text her, I
Speaker 4: was like, you know, we could take this league over, right,
Speaker 4: and she was like all right, let's see.
Speaker 5: So it's just really.
Speaker 4: Cool, like and just to have her constantly there in
Speaker 4: our ear, always talking the way she sees the game
Speaker 4: is incredible. Like I'm like, can, it's no wonder you're
Speaker 4: the goat because what did Like that didn't even make sense, like,
Speaker 4: but like just having her constantly in the timeout, so
Speaker 4: she really was talking to me in New York a
Speaker 4: lot like me individually. Was moments where I'm like, nah,
Speaker 4: this is real, Like it was like really that sisterhood
Speaker 4: and every single day she was there and I we
Speaker 4: really appreciate her for doing that.
Speaker 3: Real quick.
Speaker 2: She's wearing I ain't seen them. You gotta win championships to.
Speaker 5: Get them little key you know it's a little pink
Speaker 5: and green action.
Speaker 7: Hard yeah green aka yeah. Well, speaking of shoes, you
Speaker 7: should this is one of the dumbest questions that people
Speaker 7: talk about it. There's no way you shouldn't have a
Speaker 7: signature shoe. Even the King himself said that you should
Speaker 7: have a signature shoe. And it's on the way. How
Speaker 7: do you feel about that?
Speaker 2: And is it on the way?
Speaker 6: It looks like she got it on.
Speaker 5: I feel like, just in my spirit, I feel like.
Speaker 4: There's something in the world we're gonna manifest. We're gonna
Speaker 4: manifest that and put it in the earth. But obviously
Speaker 4: I would love a shoe.
Speaker 3: I would love to more in the WNBA than you, and.
Speaker 5: I appreciate that. But you know, Bork's never done.
Speaker 4: We gotta continue to grow, continue, Yeah, shadow through this
Speaker 4: glass ceiling. But I'm never gonna let up, never gonna
Speaker 4: always have an opportunity to get better. But yeah, hopefully
Speaker 4: one day I could be wearing my own shoe and
Speaker 4: the next person could be wearing them the next one
Speaker 4: and we can.
Speaker 3: I was playing basketball, should definitely go.
Speaker 5: Boys wear them of course. Now it's gonna be a
Speaker 5: shoe for everybody. That's that's mean.
Speaker 3: Questions.
Speaker 7: What is it like having Braun speak about you so highly?
Speaker 7: And do you have a relationship with him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Broun's my dog.
Speaker 4: Obviously we don't talk every single day and we're not besties,
Speaker 4: but like realistically, like that's my dog, and I always
Speaker 4: appreciate him because if anyone has a voice in this.
Speaker 5: World right now, he does, it's Lebron James.
Speaker 4: And when you're talking about being in those rooms and
Speaker 4: being in those spaces, the number one person is probably
Speaker 4: Lebron that could be in those spaces.
Speaker 5: So we always joke that, you.
Speaker 4: Know, we get hit with a lot of stuff on Twitter,
Speaker 4: a lot of trolls, a lot of that, but it's
Speaker 4: pretty cool to say, Like when I go clicker on
Speaker 4: You're buy and you're like, oh King James, man, I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, how are you bashing me? And the guy that
Speaker 5: you are idolized? It's like really cool with me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's kind of like that mutual respect that's
Speaker 4: just like ah nah, like I appreciate you for doing that,
Speaker 4: and it's he doesn't have to, but he does, and
Speaker 4: so it's always all love when it comes that way,
Speaker 4: and it's just about him getting recognized.
Speaker 2: Game, Yeah, a lot of I went to the game
Speaker 2: last night and I I was texting these dude, I
Speaker 2: was like, Lebron is such a showman because like, whether
Speaker 2: he has a ball in his hands or during free throws,
Speaker 2: he's over there talking to the crowd, riling them up.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this shit is dope, bro, Like I
Speaker 2: just love what he brings to it. But anyway, born
Speaker 2: and raised in South Carolina, family is very important to you,
Speaker 2: specifically your late grandmother. Speak to her importance and how
Speaker 2: important family is to you and your upbringing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a family girl through and through.
Speaker 4: Hence why I really couldn't leave South Carolina for college
Speaker 4: because they are just my stepping stone.
Speaker 5: They're my foundation and everything.
Speaker 4: And my grandmother was someone that helped me build my
Speaker 4: confidence and she was able to pull Asia away from
Speaker 4: the uniform.
Speaker 5: And I think that's the beautiful thing about it.
Speaker 4: She allowed me to be Asian, not Asia Wilson, and
Speaker 4: it gave me that healthy balance of growing up in
Speaker 4: a crazy world and just being myself. So I love
Speaker 4: them there there, my heart, my spine, my rib all
Speaker 4: in between.
Speaker 2: So your pop's into college the same year the first
Speaker 2: black student athlete enrolled in South Carolina. What types of
Speaker 2: stories does he tell you about his college experience?
Speaker 4: Who insane stories that it's kind of hard for me
Speaker 4: to wrap my head around. But also being in South Carolina,
Speaker 4: I'm like, get it. Of course they're not gonna let
Speaker 4: you do that, but just the different stories of just
Speaker 4: how he had to continue to break barriers just to
Speaker 4: be able to play the game that he loves. But
Speaker 4: I also enjoy the fact that he can now watch
Speaker 4: the seats.
Speaker 5: That he planted flourish through me.
Speaker 4: And I always joke, I'm like, and everybody has a statue,
Speaker 4: it's kind of like they either did or they knocking
Speaker 4: on the door, right And so for me to have
Speaker 4: a statue now and my parents go by there, I
Speaker 4: mean every single day they're like, oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like this is her, Like wow, it's pretty cool
Speaker 4: to see that. Like, yes, he went through all those things,
Speaker 4: and yes it was hard. He probably segregated his high school.
Speaker 4: I feel like, but it's like, now you get to
Speaker 4: see your daughters do that, and that right there just
Speaker 4: kind of seals my deal.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: You do a lot of work in the social justice space.
Speaker 2: What type of impact are you hoping to make?
Speaker 4: Man, change doesn't happen over night, but at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, just making everyone just be in respectful all.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's the biggest thing, is just being
Speaker 4: respectful and kind to one another and understanding that we're
Speaker 4: not here on this earth for long, but we can
Speaker 4: make a difference no matter who we are, no matter
Speaker 4: greats like you guys or me still in it. Anyone
Speaker 4: can make a difference. And that's kind of what I
Speaker 4: continue want to push forward. And any young black, brown,
Speaker 4: white doesn't even matter. Like everyone has a chance to
Speaker 4: be able to be great and what they're doing to
Speaker 4: help another person. So I just try to sprinkle that
Speaker 4: on everything that's right.
Speaker 2: Don't be a homer on this one. Give me a
Speaker 2: real last answer on better hoop state North Carolina, South Carolina,
Speaker 2: South Carolina.
Speaker 6: Duh, Jermaine O'Neill say the same thing.
Speaker 2: It is real, Okay, I'm just asking.
Speaker 5: Don't do that.
Speaker 4: I mean, North Carolina may have the numbers, Okay, cool,
Speaker 4: but we're thinking about like real basketspects come on out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2: Is that where ticket was at before we went to
Speaker 2: Chicago in jail?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. See your biggest basketball influence growing up, whether
Speaker 2: it be male or female.
Speaker 4: Biggest basketball influence mm see, I really didn't like basketball
Speaker 4: growing up.
Speaker 5: Really, I didn't like to sweat what I hate.
Speaker 2: And I still like a girly girl.
Speaker 5: What am I? Yes, I said, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3: Still because she's still basketball. I can tell.
Speaker 4: I hated basketball with a passion, like everything with it.
Speaker 5: I hated the color of the basketball. I hated everything.
Speaker 5: I was like, this is it is disgusting. I love
Speaker 5: the guys that played it, you know, like I was
Speaker 5: just like, oh wait, they're kind of cute, but playing
Speaker 5: it absolutely not.
Speaker 4: But my father obviously played and he was like you
Speaker 4: about to do something like I didn't. It was kind
Speaker 4: of like y'all didn't birthy for you just site here.
Speaker 4: So I was like, all right, let me try it.
Speaker 4: So after when I started getting involved, I love. I
Speaker 4: was a huge Blake Griffin fan.
Speaker 5: I loved.
Speaker 4: I just don't know what it was Blake Griffin fan.
Speaker 5: I guess the fancy part of it. Obviously Kobe Ron
Speaker 5: like all of them.
Speaker 4: And then I met Don Staley and obviously Candice was
Speaker 4: my growing up and Lisa Leslie, even though I didn't
Speaker 4: get a chance see Lisa play, but then I met
Speaker 4: Don and she influenced my whole career and it was
Speaker 4: like on something that I was like, no, this woman
Speaker 4: has really changed my life. And that right there was
Speaker 4: all the inspiration, all the influence I need to be
Speaker 4: me and yes she killed it.
Speaker 5: Yeah she is.
Speaker 7: Was there ever doubt in your mind that you were
Speaker 7: you were not going to South Carolina?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, what over school you thinking about pulling up to?
Speaker 5: I really wanted to go to the University of Chapel Hill.
Speaker 5: Oh hold up, hold up, hold on, hold on, how
Speaker 5: you because the boys were cute?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, wasn't.
Speaker 6: God?
Speaker 5: Oh y'all thought I was talking about basketball?
Speaker 6: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was about to sign that dotted line on
Speaker 4: my official visits because I was like, oh, yeah, see
Speaker 4: me here.
Speaker 2: What not to say that that was who you was
Speaker 2: crushing on?
Speaker 3: But who was? What?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 2: What kind of team was there at that time?
Speaker 4: I have no idea, okay, but I just knew when
Speaker 4: I got to that campus I saw that.
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm just right up my Allex. But yeah,
Speaker 5: that was the only time.
Speaker 4: But I remember when I had to call my coaches,
Speaker 4: call the coaches to say I wasn't coming. My mom
Speaker 4: was like, well, if you don't go want to go
Speaker 4: to South Carolina, You're gonna have to call down Staley,
Speaker 4: a black woman yourself, and tell her that you're not
Speaker 4: wanting to be coached by her. And I was like, whoa,
Speaker 4: When you put it like that, this basketball thing might
Speaker 4: be some good. So yeah, South Carolina was my strong second,
Speaker 4: and I'm so glad.
Speaker 7: That I chose best choice. You were the number one
Speaker 7: recruit in the nation. Don Staley moved you to the
Speaker 7: bench after your first game?
Speaker 3: You was pissed off? Or did you deserve it? I
Speaker 3: deserved it. I know what she was doing too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I stuck it up my first time, like my
Speaker 4: first collegiate game.
Speaker 5: It was so bad, like it was horrific. So I
Speaker 5: was like, Okay, maybe the bench is for me.
Speaker 4: Let me try this, give it a try, and then yeah,
Speaker 4: the rest of the rest is history of that.
Speaker 7: Do you think that she sent you to the bench
Speaker 7: to wake you up mentally?
Speaker 4: She really didn't start getting to me mentally until like
Speaker 4: sophomore junior year.
Speaker 5: She started playing mental games.
Speaker 4: But like I think she knew like that was just
Speaker 4: gonna be the best fit for me. Like I needed
Speaker 4: time to see that, see the game, Like I couldn't
Speaker 4: just throw my she couldn't throw me out there because
Speaker 4: the game was too quick.
Speaker 3: Problem.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have never probably been the same player
Speaker 4: if she would have just let me be out there.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think she just kind of pulled me
Speaker 4: because she was like, nah, you just need to see
Speaker 4: it and then you can kill.
Speaker 2: Them now, right, What was it like when you first
Speaker 2: met her? It was just like coach keeps it, keeps
Speaker 2: it real.
Speaker 4: So it was just like honesty and like she just
Speaker 4: really feels She felt like my second mother then and
Speaker 4: now she still feels like my second mom now. So
Speaker 4: like she was in gyms when I wouldn't even playing
Speaker 4: because I was terrible at basketball.
Speaker 5: But she was there. Like the loyalty she showed.
Speaker 4: I was like, nah, like I got to you got
Speaker 4: something else, like I want to grow, Yeah, I need
Speaker 4: to grow, and that you're the best.
Speaker 7: But basketball, we know she's a big part of your
Speaker 7: career and your success. But what does she teach you
Speaker 7: about life?
Speaker 4: Be your pro and be discipline in everything that you do,
Speaker 4: Like don't take anything lightly, don't take anything off, Like
Speaker 4: always be a pro the way you carry yourself because
Speaker 4: you never know who's looking. But just being in spaces
Speaker 4: that you feel safe but never lose yourself.
Speaker 5: I think that was the biggest thing with her. She
Speaker 5: let me be me.
Speaker 4: Like it'll be days where I would come into her
Speaker 4: office crime because my boyfriend takes me back and she's
Speaker 4: like like, take it off, like it's a lot.
Speaker 5: So she just allowed me to be human.
Speaker 4: And I think you see that also in her when
Speaker 4: she's in the community, when she's talking and she's tweeting
Speaker 4: with fans, like you never lose sight of just getting
Speaker 4: into the celebrity vibe, but always staying humble and staying
Speaker 4: within yourself.
Speaker 5: So she always taught us.
Speaker 7: We spoke about it a little bit, but let's touch
Speaker 7: on it and on its own. How many twenty seven
Speaker 7: years old, how many people get this and you have
Speaker 7: your own statue?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that just.
Speaker 2: Take us through that day you go by and clean
Speaker 2: it off. Ever, yeah, dust On.
Speaker 4: It was a crazy experience because they told me at graduation,
Speaker 4: but I thought it was a joke. Like I was
Speaker 4: on my phone during graduation. All these cameras pulled up
Speaker 4: and I was like what they got going on?
Speaker 5: And so that's when the president of the school was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: we want to give agent statue.
Speaker 4: So I thought it was a joke. I'm starting to
Speaker 4: laugh like whatever, like y'all not because people always say, oh,
Speaker 4: they need a statue. So I'm chilling. And then that's
Speaker 4: when it really hit me. The lady that sculpt sculpted me.
Speaker 4: She did Michael Jordan's as well, and so I had.
Speaker 8: To go to yeah all right, yeah, and so they
Speaker 8: came and right when she she named when she came
Speaker 8: to my face and like not my face.
Speaker 4: She came to Chicago and she literally scaled my whole face,
Speaker 4: like my teeth, like I had like all these things
Speaker 4: around my face.
Speaker 5: She's like, yeah, I had to do this for MJ.
Speaker 4: And I was like, girl, you can't just say that,
Speaker 4: like there's nothing now she letting you know right, like no,
Speaker 4: You're in good hands. And then I went and I
Speaker 4: saw it. I was like, oh my god, my legs
Speaker 4: are nice, like.
Speaker 5: I like this, this is cute.
Speaker 3: So yeah.
Speaker 4: Then finally, I watch a lot of scary movies, so
Speaker 4: I was like, I hope nobody's trying to take me
Speaker 4: out when I'm up here trying to say my speech.
Speaker 5: I got nervous there, but no, and I saw it.
Speaker 4: It was truly amazing and like you know, like you said,
Speaker 4: like I'm young and have to have something like that
Speaker 4: to be immortalized.
Speaker 5: It's crazy.
Speaker 7: Salute number one pick in twenty eighteen for the Aces
Speaker 7: came out the pot frying twenty and eight. Do you
Speaker 7: even have a Welcome to the NBA moment W? I mean,
Speaker 7: excuse with W NBA moment M because you came out
Speaker 7: the pipe.
Speaker 3: I did a lot. Yeah kind of did.
Speaker 4: I would have to say my rookie year I think
Speaker 4: was Maya Moore's last year, and it was like Mayer,
Speaker 4: Rebecca bruns and Sylvia Fowls, Lindsay Augustus. So it was
Speaker 4: like what like it felt like I was playing against
Speaker 4: the mob stars, Like no matter what I mean, I was,
Speaker 4: I was coming up. I don't know what I had
Speaker 4: at the night before. I was like, okay, yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: feeling good about myself. Boy, Rebecca Brunson got this rebound
Speaker 4: over man, and I was like, girl, you got it.
Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about me at all. I
Speaker 4: don't even think she saw me down there. So yeah,
Speaker 4: that was my moment where I was like, oh no,
Speaker 4: I'm in the like this is really like we're talking
Speaker 4: about goats, like banners on banners, rings on rings and
Speaker 4: I'm sharing the court with them, like I was just
Speaker 4: in Lilailand and they're trying to take my head off.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was my moment. But not only was
Speaker 2: you sharing the court, you was doing your thing on
Speaker 2: the court.
Speaker 5: Right, I was trying.
Speaker 7: But who ye, any vets you learned from early on?
Speaker 7: Like who gave you the best advice?
Speaker 5: Oh? Oh, that's a good question, I would have to
Speaker 5: say Sylvia Fowl.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Seal, another goat.
Speaker 4: Big Seal really took me under her wing, and we
Speaker 4: were never teammates until the Olympics, and she really just
Speaker 4: kind of just gave me the ropes and it's like,
Speaker 4: don't lose you, like, don't use your don't lose your sash,
Speaker 4: your jazz. You're screaming after any one's like, never lose that,
Speaker 4: and that I stuck with me. Obviously I got better
Speaker 4: and stronger, but like those little tibbitts from someone like that,
Speaker 4: oh when it still goes a long way with me.
Speaker 7: So she her game is totally different than the person
Speaker 7: she is.
Speaker 3: She's so soft spoken and.
Speaker 7: Sweet bro, but on the court, she's she's a dog record.
Speaker 3: I love her to death. Are you a ship talker?
Speaker 4: I would say I'm petty, but no, you're just saying
Speaker 4: you're a woman, because.
Speaker 6: All women are petty.
Speaker 3: I say I'm a.
Speaker 4: Ship talker, but like if I don't, I don't back
Speaker 4: down from a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get petty.
Speaker 5: I don't hit a little belt, but I get petty a
Speaker 5: little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Kelsey Plump said that women cut deep, cut deeper than
Speaker 7: men when they when they trash talk.
Speaker 3: Yea more petty way, more petty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because like I feel like we do our research,
Speaker 4: like we we know things that you probably don't think
Speaker 4: we know. So then I might throw a little jab
Speaker 4: at you, and I'm like, oh you do that.
Speaker 7: Women are very they do better detective, great detective, great
Speaker 7: detect guy.
Speaker 2: You call a boyfriend, Yeah, he was with my homegirl
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 5: Now that's messy. We don't even throw that, I know.
Speaker 5: Then did she started thinking? And you would be like,
Speaker 5: I don't know, but now I got your thinking. We're
Speaker 5: not messy.
Speaker 3: Do somebody somebody just say that, you know, I knew him.
Speaker 2: She's talking about I want.
Speaker 5: To walk away and then she's like what, so.
Speaker 7: Yeah, have you had any low points or rough moments
Speaker 7: in your career so far? And don't lie because we've
Speaker 7: been watching, we've been doing our research. Yeah, maybe you
Speaker 7: need to do some research or your research.
Speaker 3: No. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've definitely had my moments where I'm just like, especially
Speaker 4: in the bubble, like we didn't have one outlet, like nothing, like,
Speaker 4: no excursions, no nothing. It was just me and my
Speaker 4: bad that's it. And I think that was kind of
Speaker 4: really hard for me because I love outlets. I love
Speaker 4: like watching movies or just chilling talking with my family,
Speaker 4: my puppies, like all that, and when those were stripped
Speaker 4: away from me, I was like WHOA Like I don't know,
Speaker 4: and everyone was like, okay, well, Asia has to be
Speaker 4: great because you just won her first MVP. We went
Speaker 4: to the finals for the first time. It was great,
Speaker 4: but in actuality, I felt like I was being a
Speaker 4: people pleaser and that there tore me up because there's
Speaker 4: I was trying to please. Literally, I always say, like
Speaker 4: all of my Twitter followers, I try to please them
Speaker 4: each and every people.
Speaker 5: Right, everyone, I'm like, Okay, what do you need easy
Speaker 5: to be? What do you need it to be?
Speaker 4: And I lost myself and I lost I was in
Speaker 4: a very dark, dark place because I'm trying to be everybody,
Speaker 4: everything that people wanted me to be. And that's when
Speaker 4: I was just like, you know what, I'm done. I
Speaker 4: don't give a fuck about nobody. I need to focus
Speaker 4: on myself and go from there. And ever since then,
Speaker 4: I've been extremely well, just like mentally and just approach
Speaker 4: the way I approach things. It's like, I'm doing this
Speaker 4: for me because I love it and that's my sole purpose,
Speaker 4: not to please anyone else.
Speaker 5: And that they're kind of just kind of flipped the script.
Speaker 3: Happy right now? Yeah, you look happy.
Speaker 2: Thanks, good thing, it's a glow. The woman game, the
Speaker 2: woman's game has grown so much in the past few years.
Speaker 2: What is one or two things you feel like it
Speaker 2: needs to happen for it to continue to grow and
Speaker 2: reach it to potential?
Speaker 8: That money run that bag up and could count what
Speaker 8: you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Run that bag up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, honestly, the salary. We could sit here
Speaker 4: and talk about that all day. And that's just between
Speaker 4: the economy and society. That's as a whole. But when
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about just diving a little bit deeper, would
Speaker 4: have to be storytelling. I think that's the biggest thing
Speaker 4: is getting deeper than the WNBA player you see on
Speaker 4: the screen getting more into the lives of how we
Speaker 4: navigate this when they when I'm lucky and I'm blessed.
Speaker 5: Shout out to my agent.
Speaker 7: Jade, we see you overseas.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't have to play overseas. I can
Speaker 4: stay here and kind of get the grinded out here.
Speaker 4: But those young ladies that have to go overseas to
Speaker 4: play that and kind of getting lost in the sauce
Speaker 4: and forgotten about how can we tell their stories so
Speaker 4: they don't have to do that, And I think that
Speaker 4: is so key of where now you know, we have
Speaker 4: people that's broadcasting more and tweeting it more and seeing
Speaker 4: people can see the imbalance. But that comes from storytelling
Speaker 4: and allowing you know, me to be on you guys.
Speaker 4: This podcast is always a great thing. So I think
Speaker 4: that's the biggest thing I want to see. It's just
Speaker 4: more storytelling, more pushing pushing faces out there that look
Speaker 4: like the audience and giving them different views of that.
Speaker 2: Your teammate Kelsey came on the show and said, don't
Speaker 2: come to our game to support, come to our game
Speaker 2: and watch and enjoy.
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I do, because I don't our biggest thing is like,
Speaker 4: you know, we're not anyone's charity case. You know, I
Speaker 4: don't need anyone to be like, all right, I made
Speaker 4: it to the game. Here you go, Like I don't
Speaker 4: need that validation, Like I put tons and tons of
Speaker 4: work in. Come see us hoops, Come see the entertainment,
Speaker 4: the show that we're putting on, Like that is the fun.
Speaker 4: Like I don't need you to be like, let me
Speaker 4: wear this orange hoodie like cool.
Speaker 5: Right, I'm not a fan of orange, but you go
Speaker 5: ahead and rocket.
Speaker 4: But like it's kind of like I feel like we
Speaker 4: sometimes get that feel from a lot of people, and
Speaker 4: it's like you could just leave that at home.
Speaker 5: I'd rather you just be straight up.
Speaker 4: And be like I don't really rock with y'all because
Speaker 4: y'all can't dump cool see you move along.
Speaker 5: We can have somebody else sit there.
Speaker 3: So basketball said, y'all came.
Speaker 2: I came to a game last year, my first game here,
Speaker 2: and I was with you on the baseline and I
Speaker 2: was not surprised, but it was rocking in that motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: You guys are playing the Liberty too. It was rocking,
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, damn, because I went to some
Speaker 2: Sparks games, and I felt like it didn't have the
Speaker 2: energy the acest games have, Like you guys have a
Speaker 2: live ass crowd out Thereah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's what people have to kind of give
Speaker 4: a chance. It's like, not every game is going to
Speaker 4: be like ours, but just giving it a chance. That's
Speaker 4: why I tell people come to our games, because like
Speaker 4: we'll set the stage for you.
Speaker 2: But do you think it's whack that men can bounce
Speaker 2: after one and y'all have to stay four?
Speaker 7: I think it's whack period that nobody can't go straight
Speaker 7: of high school. You can go to the wall and get
Speaker 7: your head blown off at eighteen, but you can't go
Speaker 7: provide for your family.
Speaker 3: That's bullshit.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks to Asia, Asia, how do you feel I
Speaker 2: had to get that off?
Speaker 3: Asia? It was lovely.
Speaker 6: He asked me that.
Speaker 5: I'm in between.
Speaker 4: I really am in between because I feel like for
Speaker 4: us and our league is just so I don't want
Speaker 4: to say so old, but we're very very very mature,
Speaker 4: Like we're very mature, and.
Speaker 2: The NBA, on the flip side, is very young.
Speaker 4: Young, and it's like you can get into there, and
Speaker 4: also you have the G League for the NBA, so
Speaker 4: you have leagues that can develop you to get ready
Speaker 4: for that next level versus us.
Speaker 5: We don't have that, so it's like when.
Speaker 4: You entering the league, you gotta be ready, and especially
Speaker 4: the way the season goes, it's like marsh Maddness Draft
Speaker 4: training camp, like, we don't have a combine, so we can't.
Speaker 5: I feel like we are easy way.
Speaker 4: Our way into the league is literally college, and I
Speaker 4: feel like, sometimes you need it, I say at least
Speaker 4: two years, but then I look back at my two
Speaker 4: years in college and I'm like, I would have stayed
Speaker 4: off for work because I need it. So I'm like,
Speaker 4: but if people feel like they're ready, I would say
Speaker 4: at least two years for us, then we can go
Speaker 4: because then you kind of find yourself in the in
Speaker 4: the real world. But yeah, I don't know. One and
Speaker 4: done is kind of what you.
Speaker 7: Think about these tenth grader and this tenth grader and
Speaker 7: eleventh grader is they're going up just dunking backwards and
Speaker 7: all these girls like and so just imagine what they
Speaker 7: gonna be like in two three years.
Speaker 5: Insane and I right, they got me over here. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I gotta get my game. Might be calling me old.
Speaker 2: Head out here taking off real obviously with your competitive nature.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, who do you like to watch
Speaker 2: outside of your team? But who do you like to
Speaker 2: compete against? Give me two or three women like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I can't wait to play or I love it every
Speaker 2: time we match up.
Speaker 4: I mean obviously Stuwie, Brandon Stewart, I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 4: we got I feel like we have in our palms
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 5: And I love that.
Speaker 4: For us because we really grew up from like Junior
Speaker 4: USA Ball.
Speaker 2: Are playing against you four minutes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I would say Stuie and what else in
Speaker 4: the league I'm trying to think now, I would say
Speaker 4: my best friend's Alicia Gray.
Speaker 5: She's in Atlanta.
Speaker 4: I love playing against her because I'm always trying to
Speaker 4: get out the dub. I'm trying to send us shot
Speaker 4: to the concession stand and she always be coming from
Speaker 4: my neck, which is crazy. But yeah, those two I
Speaker 4: would like, I just love to compete against.
Speaker 2: So flip side the men's game. Who are some guys
Speaker 2: you appreciate watching?
Speaker 4: I mean obviously bro Like, I mean the things that
Speaker 4: he can do, not even at this age, but talking
Speaker 4: about this age, indib.
Speaker 3: Doing stuff at this age. I couldn't do it eighteen.
Speaker 5: It's insane how his mind works in the game.
Speaker 4: I mean, I like Jani is also someone that I'm like,
Speaker 4: all right, but you got it's just dominance. I feel
Speaker 4: like the dominance of the game that they carry. It's
Speaker 4: just it's it's incredible to watch.
Speaker 2: Who is Asia outside of hoops? Any random hobbies are
Speaker 2: guilty pleasures?
Speaker 5: Who's it's just just a big kid. Honestly.
Speaker 2: Just like you mentioned your dog, your dog, mom, I
Speaker 2: know she burned out.
Speaker 3: I can tell you just like us dog.
Speaker 7: Look she starts taking that Yes, just like us.
Speaker 2: But Jada's over there drinking that truth serum. So Jade
Speaker 2: over there shaking her head like, yeah, she burn.

Speaker 2: Hey, us to the Bible study us too. But we
Speaker 2: be in the church too, you know.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, you know I too with my puppies. I
Speaker 4: really just kind of stay out the way. I love
Speaker 4: a good movie.
Speaker 2: Always give me some sitting. Not to cut you off.
Speaker 2: What is something you're watching these shows right now? What
Speaker 2: are some of your shows just finished?
Speaker 5: Blacklist?
Speaker 4: I'm kind of old to it there, Raymond Reddington, I'm
Speaker 4: locked in. Like, if I need anyone to commit any
Speaker 4: crime for me, I'm calling Raymond. That's something I just finished.
Speaker 4: And I love the office. I'm a little corny girl
Speaker 4: the office.
Speaker 3: See it is.
Speaker 5: It's it's nice. But yeah, just be chilling.
Speaker 2: Honestly, one message that you could have for the Las
Speaker 2: Vegas fans, and this is your solo right here, this
Speaker 2: upcoming season right here, what does one message you give
Speaker 2: to your fans to this upcoming season besides your burnt.
Speaker 3: Season. That'd be dope.
Speaker 4: That would be fun to the ASIS fans. Just get
Speaker 4: ready for the ride. It's gonna be exciting. I know
Speaker 4: everyone's saying three p three ft three pet and we're
Speaker 4: gonna obviously try our best like we do every single year,
Speaker 4: but it's gonna be a lot of fun, a lot
Speaker 4: of high energy. I think we're just starting to get
Speaker 4: into our groove. It's Olympic gear coming up, too, so
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a lot of great basketball. So we
Speaker 4: appreciate you guys.
Speaker 5: Always love.
Speaker 2: Three is different. Who spoke to that code? Three is
Speaker 2: different like two is tough, but they said three is
Speaker 2: another level.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean this two is like I still can't
Speaker 4: believe it, Like I just still it's still like surreal to.
Speaker 2: Me with all the injuries you, Like I said, we
Speaker 2: talk you guys here were so many in the final.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like something that I've never ever I can't.
Speaker 4: I still can't wrap my head around it because I'm like,
Speaker 4: what because even when I see signs or stuff that's like, oh,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two and I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, damn, we did that ship again, Like that's why it.
Speaker 3: Makes it visible.
Speaker 7: But that they can win it again next year because
Speaker 7: everything they went through and still won.
Speaker 3: Just imagine y'all come back healthy and everybody healthy. Right,
Speaker 3: that's the.
Speaker 2: Scary Top five w n b A players of all time.
Speaker 7: And if you don't say, I'm gonna let you answer.
Speaker 3: I was about to say something.
Speaker 2: I just want to he's burned. He I want you
Speaker 2: to answer. He sometimes thinks he's getting interviewed when he.
Speaker 3: Forgive him.
Speaker 2: That's part of his burness.
Speaker 4: Can I say myself, break got break yourn. Sometimes I'm
Speaker 4: a lego to somebody. I'm in character energy just kidding me.
Speaker 5: Yes, Candice Yes, Maya Moore two spots, Diana to Rozsi Mmmm.
Speaker 2: He got something to say.
Speaker 3: No matter what your last I'm just trying to see
Speaker 3: what last person.
Speaker 2: It's a big spot.
Speaker 5: Can I get like a give me two more spots?
Speaker 5: Okay to make a little easier swoops.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 5: I got Cynthia Cooper.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was about to lose my mind. I just
Speaker 4: one of the first fall I got you y'all said five.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, but yeah, yeah, No, I think that's.
Speaker 2: Solid collegiate player right now in the women's game, you
Speaker 2: feel like has a bright future.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I'm going to be obviously biased with my game Cocks
Speaker 4: because I would say Raven, I feel like Raven and.
Speaker 5: She's in the she's at the perp And I'm not
Speaker 5: just saying this. She saw her like she's at.
Speaker 4: Fresh and you're being taught by Dawn Staley at the
Speaker 4: point guard position.
Speaker 5: Don't get better, Like, I feel like you don't get
Speaker 5: a better situation than that.
Speaker 4: And I think her being disrespected in the Final four
Speaker 4: last year kind of woke her.
Speaker 5: Up in a sense that's like, oh, bet, like cool,
Speaker 5: this is what you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Say, so screaming at the TV. Shoot that shit, Raven,
Speaker 3: then shoot that shit.
Speaker 4: Yes, but sometimes you need to be brought out like
Speaker 4: that and be like, no, let me get my game tight.
Speaker 4: And I think she's just playing. She's leading her team.
Speaker 4: She's making the right choices and decisions. That's like, I
Speaker 4: feel like she's gonna be a star, like as years come,
Speaker 4: like when and see, this is where the four year
Speaker 4: plan comes in, as she gets older and understand being
Speaker 4: in the SEC as well, like they rough you up
Speaker 4: a little bit. So yeah, I firmly believe I'm a
Speaker 4: fan of her.
Speaker 7: It is but all these kids that's going in the draft,
Speaker 7: top five, top ten in the last couple of years,
Speaker 7: she played with these kids in then opicser game and dominated,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. So she definitely has the
Speaker 7: talent to be one to start.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and she got the swagger like no back down.
Speaker 7: She's just a dog Like I love that saying basketball
Speaker 7: IQ was high y yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: How do you feel like Angel Reese's game will transfer
Speaker 2: to the pros.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna transfer pretty fair out because I
Speaker 4: feel like she has a niche to her, like she
Speaker 4: she can read. I feel like I've seen her rebound
Speaker 4: so much that I feel like that's gonna be her
Speaker 4: key when she gets to the league. Now, if she
Speaker 4: keeps that up, I feel like that's gonna be huge.
Speaker 4: But I think that's what's gonna be the separating factor
Speaker 4: for her even in college, is how can I get
Speaker 4: more possessions for myself but also my team. So obviously
Speaker 4: she got years to grow a couple of years ago,
Speaker 4: just didn't.
Speaker 5: Let it translate over.
Speaker 4: And it's gonna be tough and hard because hart League
Speaker 4: is so tough, Like I can't express that to so
Speaker 4: many people, like we.
Speaker 5: Got some dogs at every position, and it's hard coming
Speaker 5: in being a four and a five, like it really is.
Speaker 4: But I think when I see her play, I'm like,
Speaker 4: all right, she got a little something to her that's
Speaker 4: gonna be like okay. She can then translate that over
Speaker 4: to the pros. And if I ain't seen her, I'd
Speaker 4: be like, I don't know, I'm worried. But to see
Speaker 4: that side of her, I feel like that's where she's
Speaker 4: gonna shine the rightest.
Speaker 2: What kind of damage could you have done in college
Speaker 2: with the nil?
Speaker 3: Huh? What chill? Like?
Speaker 4: No, I'm here and at the end of the game,
Speaker 4: I y'all want to sign something one hundred.
Speaker 6: I was out back.
Speaker 4: Like what they would be like, she she's I'm kicking
Speaker 4: out the door like I love it.
Speaker 5: YEA, God knew, God knew who to give that to because.
Speaker 2: YEA question the mix up between Angel and Caitlin Cark
Speaker 2: during the Final four, it happens all the time in
Speaker 2: the men's game. It happens still a lot in your
Speaker 2: guys game, but it was made such a big deal
Speaker 2: on that stage. What was your guys take as pros?
Speaker 5: I was laughing every day. I was like, if we're
Speaker 5: overreacting that this good.
Speaker 7: Look, we say worse things to white boys playing basketball
Speaker 7: when we play.
Speaker 2: What particularly you.
Speaker 9: No, don't don't do that, don't do that, don't do that,
Speaker 9: don't do that particularly me. All NBA players go harder
Speaker 9: on white boys on the court. Even Larry birdwritten Larry
Speaker 9: Bird got guarded by a white guy who was like,
Speaker 9: y'all don't have any brothers.
Speaker 7: Yerespected, he felt disrespect.
Speaker 4: That's like the unwritten Hooper rules. So no, I was laughing.
Speaker 4: I was like, it's never that deep. It's never that deep,
Speaker 4: but I guess. And then that's when you can tell
Speaker 4: when people don't really watch the game. They're there for
Speaker 4: the drama and the anti Yeah, they're like, oh, let
Speaker 4: me dive into this and give you my comment. I'm like,
Speaker 4: you have never been in that situation before, but it
Speaker 4: was funny to me.
Speaker 5: I loved it. I hated that was South Carolina was
Speaker 5: kicked out.
Speaker 4: I was a little bummed out about that, but I
Speaker 4: was like, man, go for it is.
Speaker 3: What it is. Who's your childhood crush? Mm mm?
Speaker 5: I like Bill Smith.
Speaker 4: I was a fresh prin that was like, will yeah,
Speaker 4: shout out Wilburg, Wilburg, best piece of advice you've ever received.
Speaker 5: The best piece of advice, nobody cares, work harder.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think that was like the kind of gut check
Speaker 4: that I had, like damn, you are so right and
Speaker 4: no one cares, and uh yeah, that right.
Speaker 5: There is something that I always remember.
Speaker 4: I tell myself when I'm at the free throw on,
Speaker 4: I'm like, girl, nobody cares.
Speaker 5: You're tired, keep going. So yeah, that's something I always
Speaker 5: kind of live by.
Speaker 2: One thing you wish you were better at. It didn't
Speaker 2: even have to be sports related.
Speaker 5: One thing I wish I could be better at. I
Speaker 5: wish I could sing.
Speaker 2: The second person said that I.
Speaker 5: Wish I could sing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I would just like really be
Speaker 4: like I'm solidified.
Speaker 7: You know, you know, just how somebody coached you in basketball.
Speaker 7: You can be coached. Disagree, bro, you.
Speaker 5: Can that's not It's never that serious.
Speaker 3: Eddie Murphy did an album.
Speaker 6: That shit with Jabby, but somebody probably schooled you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. Coach cool, I'm cool.
Speaker 3: Biggest risk you've ever taken.
Speaker 2: Biggest risk on this show.
Speaker 3: Biggest risk.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm a risk ticker every day, every day,
Speaker 4: like I just try to do yeah, just life in itself.
