1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: When you made it to the w n B A,

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: who's the first person to bust your ass?

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: The first person was Tarassim and she like gave me

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: this elbow in the game and I'm like, hold up,

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: like I'm a rookie, but I ain't no punk, So

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: I had to get aggressive back. But she was probably

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: the first person to bust my asses.

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: She's hard to go out, Yeah she was.

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: She's a great shooter, she's super smart. She knows exactly

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: where to come off for the screens get to her spot.

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, I had to level up with my defense

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: because coming in the league I wasn't trying to play

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: defense at first. Anyway.

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: She's gonna try to play.

15
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: Trying to get buckets. That's what that's what I used

16
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: to do in college.

17
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: So just like me, Yeah, so you're gonna try to

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: play defense. Then had to play.

19
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: It went to either you're gonna play deal getting bess.

20
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: That was It was like, all right, I'm gonna choose it.

21
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna choose the less of the evens. I'm gonna

22
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: go ahead and try and play deep.

23
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: You sit on the bench.

24
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,000

159
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: I were interested in. Who showed me the most time

160
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: with you?

161
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: I feel you so could have been any other school

162
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: outside of the school that you chose. Was it a

163
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: possibility you was gonna go somewhere else?

164
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: Not after the fact. Previously, I never thought about going

165
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: to James Madison, you know, I was thinking of Carolina

166
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: or NC State because those were the big schools in

167
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: the state that I lived in. Even when I was

168
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: in high school, we used to go to those camps.

169
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: NC State team camp, so that's all I really knew.

170
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: But then as I started playing and teams started sending

171
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: me prospect letters, those schools, wasn't sending it until after

172
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: that they saw me and then they started sending letters.

173
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's too late now.

174
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: You know, like some people they commit to a school

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: and then they just like once this bigger school want

176
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: to get me. They just were like, nah, I ain't

177
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: going there, No more recommitting go there. What made you

178
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: not like recommit when bigger school finally seeing you still

179
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: go to JAIM.

180
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: For one, I'm a loyal person, and for two, I

181
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: wanted to go to a school to make a difference.

182
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: I knew, you know, people were coming to me and

183
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: you're like, you can't make it to the WNBA going

184
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: to James Madison. Where's James Madison? Never heard of this school?

185
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: But the way the coach and the team made me

186
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: feel when I went on my visit and with the communication,

187
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: I felt valuable and I felt like that's where they

188
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: really wanted me to be. So growing up, my mother

189
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: always taught me, you know, go where you wanted, and

190
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: so that was the thing with j and U, and

191
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: I just felt comfortable and I never wanted to turn

192
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: my back on, you know, the love that they were

193
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: showing me from the beginning to somebody else.

194
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: That's what I said go where you appreciated, not where

195
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: you tolerted.

196
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

197
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: So at James Madison you there, when did it click

198
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: that you just as good as the other girls in

199
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: the country, even though you're not playing the bigger schools

200
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: like that, or you're not on TV, or you don't

201
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: getting most of the pub as the Ukon's the Tennessee.

202
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: So when did it click that you was like, I'm

203
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: good enough to be one of the best players in

204
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: the country.

205
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: Probably my sophomore year I was invited to USA Basketball.

206
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: You know, I thought I did well, but of course

207
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: it was about who you know and what school and

208
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: all of that. Yeah, when I got sent home, I

209
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: knew it was something else. But my coach was always

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: good with scheduling games for non conference against the higher

211
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: eight teams, and when I used to go to work

212
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: and bus ass, I'm like, I'm just as good as

213
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: these players, if not better. So it was probably damn

214
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: my sophomore junior year where I realized, you know, like

215
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: it don't matter really at this point where I'm at,

216
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: you know, as long as I'm getting buckets. But even then,

217
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: they still questioned. After I got drafted, you know, because

218
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: I went to a big major. If I was good

219
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: enough to be in the league, you.

220
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Get drafted to the Dream and I know this is

221
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: like a dream come true. All of us want to

222
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: get drafted and so forth. So how surreal was that

223
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: when you got drafted and the Dream picked you up?

224
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: You going to Atlanta, that's close to North Carolina. I

225
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: know you probably didn't been to Atlanta before.

226
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: And eight Yeah, I feel like you know what I'm saying,

227
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: going to James Madison and flying under the radar, not

228
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: making the USA team, right you, I know you got

229
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: picked though with some people that made it or and

230
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: all of that, Like I know that definitely.

231
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I was I was nervous, but I was

232
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: so excited. I didn't my coach was telling me, you know,

233
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: these are teams that are interested. I can go Dissnerber,

234
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: I can go that number. But you never actually think

235
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna go that high, you know, coming from a

236
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: mid major and you got all of these players from Tennessee,

237
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: do Yukon at the draft. So when my name was called,

238
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: I was just like shook up. It didn't seem yeah,

239
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: I was there, I was invited. Yeah, And so I

240
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: remember whispering at my mom's ear, like, Mam, we made it.

241
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: I know.

242
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: That's gotta be sick to like have that not knowing

243
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: feeling of whether you're gonna go high or low, and

244
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: then you go high like that when you weren't really

245
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: like that.

246
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: People were still looking like who is this right?

247
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: Right?

248
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 2: That?

249
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Did that valid validate your like confidence? Because I know,

250
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: like when I came up, it was like people was

251
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: telling me like, man, you're good, You're gonna go high.

252
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: But it's like I went through so much if it's

253
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: hard to believe, right definitely actually happened. It's like, shit,

254
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: they really did see what I was seeing in myself.

255
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah I felt that way, you know, It's like I'm here,

256
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: but it still was things that was happening because I

257
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: was the eighth pick. And I still remember to this

258
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: day all of the top players, you know, they was

259
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: having a conversation after they got selected with Rebecca Lobo,

260
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: and so I don't think they expected me because when

261
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: I got calls, she was like, oh, we're running out

262
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: of time, Like how are you running out of time?

263
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: I'm the eighth pick, but then here comes the third

264
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: round somebody from Yukon. Now y'all got time to interview her,

265
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: but you ain't have time to interview meet me, and

266
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: I'm the eighth pick. So you know, it was things

267
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: like that where I felt I still, you know, had

268
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: something to prove, like, oh okay, I see how it is.

269
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take that.

270
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: I remember it.

271
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: Still to this day, twelve years later in the league.

272
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, you play, that's real time.

273
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: Like I feel like I agree with that though, Like

274
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: I told one of my friends along time, cause I was.

275
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: You know, that's something us as athletes, we watch the

276
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: draft every no matter who it is, right, wish the

277
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: youngins well know how they feel and love to see

278
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: the feelings like I don't feel that those people up there,

279
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 3: an analyst is doing their job that day. That should

280
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: be the one day that you can't be critical of

281

Speaker 3: and they like he like we had to pick somebody,

287
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: he would be my pick for the bust of the draft.

288
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: I'm looking like, man, like what why does that have

Speaker 1: You know, the whole day poposed to go so perfect

314
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: for you, like like they we got a chance to

315
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: experience it together and it was just like, man, it

316
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: was it was so surreal. So you shouldn't have them

317
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: moments like that, Like that's you know kind people, they

318
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: stick together. So you get drafted to Atlanta, was Angel McCarthy?

319
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: Then no, she's a year after me.

320
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: She's okay. Okay, So you played for the Dream and

321
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: then you play for a year in Atlanta just for

322
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: a year, and then you go to the Windy City Chicago.

323
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: You spend you spend time there, so I know your

324
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: first year was kind of you know, it was different.

325
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: It was like you're trying to figure yourself out. But

326
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: in Chicago you had a couple of years to kind

327
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: of feel the city, you know, get your friends, know

328
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: your team.

329
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: It is I love Chicago, you know, like Homie in

330
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: the back almost lost his mind in Chicago for to

331
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: don't worry.

332
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: So uh in Chicago, Like, how was it playing for

333
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: the Chicago Sky?

334
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: It was different. I was still young. You know. I

335
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: came in my rookie year for Atlanta, and I had

336
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: that score mentality, and you know, earlier my coach is like,

337
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: you're not in college no more. You know, use your teammates.

338
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: Everybody play together. Because as soon as I touched the ball,

339
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to score. That's all I knew. And so

340
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: then I was traded to Chicago and it's like I

341
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: had to start all over again. I'm on a new

342
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: team and I had to find my way. The girls

343
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: were very welcoming, but it was different. I was away

344
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: from home, but the city was love. I adjusted. As

345
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: I said, my coach told me, I have my scores.

346
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: If you want to play on this team, we defend.

347
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: Were y'all were y'all practicing at quest?

348
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that because I remember this was like

349
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: coming up toward the end of me working out with

350
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: Tim Brother, like my last couple of years. And like

351
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: I remember because Sylvia Files came then she used to

352
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: being that dunking that thing. We used to be all

353
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: being that trip and like dupre used to be there

354
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: with y'all. Like I remember seeing y'all practice and like

355
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: us walking back going to the weight room over there

356
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: and all that stuff.

357
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: So I remember that team.

358
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was cool and it was fun practicing that

359
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: quest because we got to see you guys, the NBA

360
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: players come through and it was all love. I really

361
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: loved Chicago. It was there for nine years, so it's

362
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: like a second home to me.

363
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Ye, Vegas, get a team Vegas on you had a

364
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: team for what two years? Two years? And uh it's Vegas.

365
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: Have you did you ever think that you will be

366
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: living in Las Vegas chime?

367
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: It seems like, Yeah, our games, our fans are amazing,

368
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: you know, like every home game, we know it's going

369
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: to be a great crowd. I never imagine playing in Vegas.

370
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm from the East coast, you know, so going out

371
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: west as far. But the fans, they make it amazing.

372
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: Our organization is super good, so I love it. You know.

373
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: It's been a great time for to my last two

374
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: years there.

375
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: I had y'all winning the w NBA Championships this year.

376
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I feel like y'all squad. Y'all got a deep squad,

377
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: y'all got a deep bench, y'all got stars, y'all got

378
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: everything that y'all need and the shot that your teammate

379
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: made from half court. I felt like, oh yeah, luck

380
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: is on your side. When you win the championship, you

381
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: gotta play hard, you gotta stay disciplining, you gotta have

382
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of luck. So when I've seen that,

383
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: I said, oh yeah, they gonna this D year they

384
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: don't win it. So I know, y'all y'all lost, But

385
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: y'all coming back with the same basically cors and so forth.

386
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: On what you look forward to next season coming in

387
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: with it, cause it's kind of like y'all first year

388
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of really getting together. Y'all just got Cambridge.

389
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: He just got you. We changed, you know, made some

390
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: few changes last year. But right now I'm a free agent,

391
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: so I don't know, you know, if I'll be there

392
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: or if I be somewhere else. So and they just they

393
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: just changed. They just changed the contract.

394
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: Well, so he.

395
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: Run it up.

396
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: How do you feel about those you know what I'm saying,

397
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: because it I feel like it's I mean, obviously a

398
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: lot of people feel like those things should have been

399
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: in place, but you know, the different flights and the travel.

400
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: Like we talked to Candice and it was just, you know,

401
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: she mentioned a lot of those things that got upgraded

402
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: and improvements for you. How do you feel about the

403
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 3: new CBA and a lot of the improvements that have

404
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: been made.

405
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: For you women.

406
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 2: I feel like it's amazing. It's definitely, you know, a

407
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: great step in the right direction. Some of the things

408
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: that we were having to deal with, like the flights.

409
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 2: You're sitting in the back of a plane. Luckily in

410
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: Vegas we didn't have to deal with that. Bill was

411
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: already booking us Delta Comfort or whatever airline. We were

412
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: flying comfort seats. Like he's all his mentality has always

413
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: been about the players, So we were fortunate already to be,

414
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: you know, getting some of those perks. But now it's

415
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: league why in which those things are important when you're

416
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: on the road, players having to share rooms like we're

417
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: grown women. You know what I'm saying. I used to

418
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: pay extra when I was younger, before I got my

419
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: own room, just to have my own room. But it's

420
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: just the you know, those little things that changed already.

421
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: You know, also the money, but just those little things

422
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: are big factors.

423
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: Those people that were already doing that for you, for

424
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: you guys as a team.

425
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: That they should be saluted in touty.

426
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 3: Because they definitely impacted the leagues doing that because they

427
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 3: can't have one team being treated better than others. And

428
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: then they helped make that set the standards what I mean,

429
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: So they.

430
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: Need to be saluted for that.

431
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: Definitely.

432
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: It kind of makes sense that you said that Bill

433
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: was doing those things for you because we just had

434
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: Isaiah and we talked to him about a lot of things,

435
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: and the bad Boys and the Pistons in particular, they

436
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: were like the trend setters in the league that started.

437
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: He talked about it how they were the first team

438
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: to start staying in five star hotel, started traveling and

439
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: got their own private plane, and started doing those different things.

440
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 3: So from what you're saying, it seems that he's still

441
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: continuing on the same type of bad boy mantra, doing

442
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 3: the same things and impacting the w NBA in the

443
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: same way that the NBA impacted. So just talk about

444
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: Bill doing those things and how it is playing for

445
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: him as a you know, his his his pistons and

446
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: his bad boy attitude and mentality, because like Zeke was saying,

447
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: he was one of the ones who never really deterred

448
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: from that and that he really embraces the team aspect

449
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: of the team game.

450
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Bill, he's definitely a player's coach. He's

451
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: gonna keep it real with you. He's very blunt, so

452
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: I feel if you're you know, mentally tough, you can

453
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: handle it. But I've always respected direct coaches that tell

454
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: you what they want and tell you what it is.

455
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: But also as far as like off the court, he

456
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: takes care of the team. He's like, these are the players.

457
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: You want to make sure they're comfortable and make sure

458
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: we don't have to worry about anything outside of basketball.

459
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: As far as like where we're living, the things that

460
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 2: we need. He even you know, made a job available

461
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: on the team for someone to just take care of

462
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: the players. It's like whatever you need. If you get

463
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: a flat tire, yeah, if you if something is wrong,

464
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: you call this person if they're gonna take care of it.

465
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 2: And even like when we're flying, it's like my players

466
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: are not sitting in the back.

467
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: You know.

468

00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: and it's just getting out of hand now.

509
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: I think that's why the Lord blessed me, because he

510
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: knew how much I loved them shoes when I was little,

511
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: and I couldn't never give them, how much I wanted

512
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 3: to get them. And I ain't even used to be

Speaker 2: any brand that I was able to sign with, I

587
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: could rock off and help it out tremendously.

588
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, Like I had a lot

589
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: of shoes, but I gave a lot of shoes to

590
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: like kids too. I couldn't get shoes that were my size,

591
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: and like high school, junior, high whatever, Q had storage

592
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: units full little shoes. Right now, I know you have

593
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of shoes. Where do you keep your shoes?

594

Speaker 2: I don't have as many as Q, for sure, but

595
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: I just moved. So prior I had a shoe room,

596
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: a shoe room bedroom, a bedroom that I made just

597
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: for my shoes. So they're in the closet right now.

598
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: I have and containers that I have in storage as well.

599
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,960

Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite players. I would love to

625
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: play with him. I would hate to play against him.

626
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, this attitude. I like a

627
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: lot about Chris Paul. Can you tell me what you

628
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: think about Chris Paul's as an NBA player and as

629
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: a basketball player, and what he means to you being

630
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: in your life.

631
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: I think you made a valid point where you were

632
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 2: saying you would hate to play against him. You know

633
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people in the league. Chris is my friend,

634
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: and I hear stories they they don't like him. He's

635
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: a competitor, he's adult. He wants to win and that's

636
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: how he plays. So if you're playing against him, you're

637
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: not gonna like him. But he's also a good teammate.

638
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: He always takes care of the younger players. He's a leader. Yeah,

639
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: I love his game. As a friend, we're close, he's

640
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: like a brother to me. We've gotten you know, close

641
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: over the years. So he's a valuable person in my

642
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: life for sure.

643
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: Those things that were like how you say people don't

644
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: like him, I was always thrown off by that because

645
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: you know, we met CP as a was he still

646
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: in high school. High school, so we met him when

647
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: he was really young, when he first started coming to

648
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: Jordan Camp. By then, we had already been counselors there.

649
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: Now we were in the NBA and we were living

650
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: in La So it was literally like an hour drive

651
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: for us to get there. And we know it's gonna

652
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: be some good bump up there because they got the

653
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: best college players, and you know, we had been there,

654
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: so we're gonna go up there and play in the

655
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: councilor game. So that was when we first met him.

656
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: But like from day one, super cool person, booth, chill

657
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: down every dude and love the hoop.

658
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 4: And he was sick like.

659
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: It was like, you know, you remember MJ put him

660
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: on our team. It was me, you him, MJ and

661
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: one other and we ran like you know what I'm saying.

662
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: It was like that that year in particular, it was

663
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: it was it was some sick competition up there. They

664
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: had Gil with Rennis, Richard Jefferson, Jason Gun, all of

665
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: the Arizona kids. It was like all the kids from

666
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: all around the country, the Feltons from u NC, Shane May, Shark,

667
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: and Cancer, all of them was there. And so that

668
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: was like when I first saw like, yo, we all

669
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: kind of saw meet him and MJ. You know, we

670
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: sat out at the n MJ said he stick out,

671
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: they'll know how to play like and it was like

672
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: to see somebody at such a young age be able

673
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: to be the general.

674
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: On the floor. That was.

675
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: Then like yo, I don't know what type of score

676
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: he gonna be, but like this boy know how to

677
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: run the show like he was out there like and

678
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: it was like, yeah, that was when we first knew like, okay,

679
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 3: he specially then we saw Feling and saw him and

680
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 3: it was like that was when we first started to

681
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: know him and get to know those guys. But I

682
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: always saw the same thing because you know, he had

683
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: that competitive side. You'll see you might jab somebody's stomach

684
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: like oh, like he.

685
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: Did that, like, hey, we out here, you know what

686
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

687
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: But you respected that, and so I agree with you,

688
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: Like it was the same thing, like you you love

689
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: to play with him, you don't want to play against

690
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: the type deal.

691
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: How much have you benefited for him being with Jordan Brand?

692
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: Is the plug? He's supposed to be the plug? What

693
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: about everything else? No, I'm looking into the camera, Chris Paul.

694
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't really like to ask for things either. You

695
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, I already know, but appreciate everything

696
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: that he look at. So I appreciate you know, when

697
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: he sent me his kicks.

698
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: That's real though, because that those are rare. People can't

699
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: get the family and friends joint. So that's that's still

700
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: you still be in the plug, bro. I ain't gonna

701
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: get on you too hard.

702
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

703
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: We was, you know, trying to make a situation where

704
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: I could be under Jordan Brand or be you know,

705
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: underhand with Jordan Brand. But you know that didn't fall through.

706
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: So you got a clothing line, yeah, tied clothing line.

707
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Why not add the shoes with the clothing line because

708
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: you evidently you got all the swag and the style,

709
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: and like, why not why not just try to create

710
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: your own shoe.

711
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: I mean I came out with a shoe before, like

712
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: a casual shoe, not a basketball shoe. It did pretty well.

713
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: It's a lot harder finding the right production company for

714
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: shoes that it is for clothes. So I just haven't,

715
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: you know, ventured out in that aspect.

716
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the clothes brand. Your hoodie is

717
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: super dope that you're gonna get us one. It's one

718
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: time you feel me. So what made you get into

719
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: fat Because we know you love shoes and now you're

720
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: into the clothes. And I hear a lot of people

721
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: when I see you, I like the way you dress,

722
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: like how you present yourself. So what made you league

723
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: want to put it out there for everybody?

724
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: Well, initially started with the fans. When I was in Chicago,

725
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: they wasn't selling my jersey and I was one of

726
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: the fans' favorite, but I wasn't you know, the superstar

727
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 2: where they would sell the jersey. So it started with,

728
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: you know, T shirts for the fan base to have

729
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: something that represented me. It started with just logos, little

730
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: te logo, and it went well, you know, started doing

731
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: better than I actually thought, and so I was like, okay,

732
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: let me venture out to hats and hoodies and joggers

733
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: and socks, and that's just how it went. Now it's

734
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 2: more so I started doing things with phrases or words.

735
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love them. That's what I love. The message

736
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: like believing yourself, be yourself. I think that's a you

737
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, powerful message, especially to the youth

738
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: and just people in general, because I think in this

739
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: in this era of generation or whatever you want to

740
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: call it, with the social media, is so much, so

741
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: much fraudulent behavior, people out there trying to portray and

742
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: be things they not when it's like you can only

743
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: be you.

744
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: That's the only person available.

745
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: Everybody else taking up no matter what you try and

746
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: put that front on for it's we all gonna see

Speaker 4: Up and be who you are. So I love that

749
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: that that messaging on there.

750
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,360

00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 2: guards play. And that's why how Teresa became a favorite,

781
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 2: and how Cooper was one of my favorites too.

782
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: That's who you pat in your game.

783
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: I tell you she used to raise and I used

784
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 2: to do all types of stuff like that in college.

785
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: So that party, I know what I want to know,

786
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: because you said, like me, you grew up. We all

787
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 3: you know, litt you know, not the richest or whatever,

788
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 3: not the most fortunate. So when you first started getting

789
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 3: the money, when you look back, now you twelve thirteen

790
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: years deep, what is it that you bought? Well now

791
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 3: to thirteen twelve year fed looking back like you was tripping.

792
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 3: But even though then, even though you know you were teping,

793
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 3: like it was like this was every bit worth it.

794
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: At the time when I did it, I was spending

795
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: money on design and everything, clothes, belts, bags, shoes, And

796
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: now I look at it like I don't care about

797
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 2: none of that, And so.

798
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: Ain't that crazy?

799
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we go through that program outside money, Yeah, and

800
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 3: you'd be looking back like, bruh, I got so much

801
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: stuff that literally I don't you. Like, my wife found

802
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 3: out this consignment type place. You can smell man, what

803
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: we could sell this shit like you're in about.

804
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: Look they're serious. That's real talk right there. Consign all

805
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: this stuff, take it off.

806
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Uh, my mom passed away from cancer, Pops passed away cancer.

807
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: After they passed away, you decided to do the American

808
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: Cancer Foundation? Yes, Bill Ambassador. Yes for what made you? Well,

809
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: I know what made you choose? What made you go

810
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: that hard into it?

811
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: Well, when my father was diagnosed, I've never heard of

812
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: pan created cancer. So I started googling and trying to

813
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: figure out, you know, what it was, how do you

814
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 2: get it? And then I felt after that if I

815
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: didn't know what it was and I had someone that

816
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: close to me, a lot of other people didn't either.

817
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 2: So I wanted to do more to make it an

818
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: awareness because you know, everyone knows about breast cancer more

819
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: so than you know a lot of other Yeah, And

820
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: so I just felt like with my platform and with

821
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: how it affected my family, I could do more to

822
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 2: you know, bring awareness to it.

823
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: So you played a lot overseas and a lot of

824
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: different places, and I hear a lot of different stories

825
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: from you know, both women and men. I got partners

826
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: that played overseas and different type of stories. How was

827
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: your overseas experience and was it you know, what did

828
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 3: you think of your years in different places that you

829
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 3: liked them?

830
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 4: Did you not?

831
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: Before you start? How was Brazil?

832
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 2: Brazil was beautiful. I like Brazil a lot. The weather

833
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: was nice. I was on the beach.

834
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 4: It was hot. Brazil.

835
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: The league wasn't you know that big? But I still

836
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: enjoyed it.

837
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: Enjoyed it. Hold talk about Brazil first, then we can

838
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: get to all the other stuff. So that was the

839
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: rest of the place.

840
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: Israel was probably one of my favorite as far as

841
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: it's being Americanized and everyone speak English.

842
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 4: Was it tel Aviv?

843
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 2: I played in Hersilia and asked when I was in Israel?

844
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: But for me overseas it was tough. It wasn't really

845
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: on top teams like that excelt for one year in

846
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: Israel and like Israel isn't at the top, you know,

847
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: of the margin as far as the team, so it

848
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: was tough for me. I felt like I could have

849
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: been on better teams. But it's the same as they

850
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: go with WNBA stats. Are you know the WNBA stars,

851
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 2: It kind of goes over for overseas the top teams,

852
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: that's who they want as well, you come.

853
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: Over here and you play a season in WNBA, and

854
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: then you go overseas and come back. It's like playing

855
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: two seasons for two different teams in two different countries,

856
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: like twice a year. I was the grind of doing

857
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: that and then coming back and doing that.

858
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: It's definitely for the love of the game. It's tough

859
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: it where is on your body. And that is a

860
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: reason that I used to take years off, Like I

861
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: went five years straight WNBA and overseas, and then I

862
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: took some overseas time off because I'm a stickler with

863
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: taking care of my body, and I believe that's why

864
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: a lot of women have these nagging injuries are half

865
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 2: different injuries that prolonged because you don't take a break

866
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: because you're, you know, chasing that bag and you're not

867
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 2: really taking care of your bodies.

868
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: I was the practices over there because I was crazy

869
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: over there.

870
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: Depending on what country, A lot of the countries and

871
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: that was one reason why I used to go to Israel.

872
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: We practiced once, but a lot of the countries you

873
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: practice twice a day. In the morning it's more like

874
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: a shooting practice, and then in the evening it's like

875
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: a get afterreat practice. Yeah, it just depends on the

876
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: country that you're in and what that coach wants. When

877
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: I was in China, they practiced twice a day. It

878
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: was just running. But I had it in my contract

879
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 2: where I only practiced once. But it was a lot

880
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: to see those little girls, the things that they were

881
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: having them do, it was a lot. I've enjoyed the experience.

882
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: There's countries that I would never have been if it

883
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: wasn't for basketball, So I was super blessed for those opportunities.

884
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: But I love being at home. So now I'm just

885
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: I'm kind of dumb overseas.

886
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the contracts went up, so it's kind of

887
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: better opportunity to just sticking. You don't have to go in,

888
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: just try to get the extra money. Definitely your favorite

889
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: five women players of all time. You don't got to

890
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: be the usuals out us. Just who you like the most.

891
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: Thompson, Teresa Wellspoon, Cynthia Cooper Swoops comments. I would put

892
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: myself of course, Tarasi.

893
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: Hey, we like to play start bench or cut right

894
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 3: to me, it's a fun game, but I want to

895
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 3: I like these three young boys just coming up, and

896
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: I feel like all of them kind of getting disrespected

897
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: on the All Star addition of things, because I think

898
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: I think we as a league need to really identify

899
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 3: and put out there what the standards of voting is

900
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: like are we is it an individual award? Is it

901
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: a team award? Is it what your team record is?

902
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: We need to identify so people won't be upset because,

903
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: in my opinion, he all three of these dudes are

904
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: all start caliber level players. So I gonna ask you,

905
