I'm finally OK with the idea of who I love, who I want to be with.
That was a point in my career when I was just very frustrated and said, 'Well maybe I don't need to do this anymore,' ... And I asked him (Jordan), I said, 'Son, do you want mom to retire?' And he said, 'No, mom, no, mom. You're still very good. I want to go watch. I love the WNBA.'
Jordan told me, 'Mom, I love watching you play. You're going to be MVP.' This is for him.
I definitely know that I'll be back next year and maybe for another 10, ... I still love the game. I got the hunger back for it. I found the fun in it again. So I don't know how many more years I'll play.
I can't help who I fall in love with. No one can.
Right now we're playing very good basketball, ... I think we're playing good individually, and as a team we're playing some incredible basketball.
Sacramento is playing very well right now, they are hungry for a championship, ... It's probably because I'm in the Western Conference, but I think they will win it all.
Sacramento is playing really well right now and with a little bit of cockiness,
Every practice and every game that we have, Tina is getting better and better and better,
I don't want to have to hide from the world anymore.
To be honest, I think a lot of teams right now are questioning, 'Can we beat them? How good are they?'
This one is probably the most special to me, for the simple fact that no one really expected the Comets to do what we did this year,
We really wanted this game. We knew we had to come here and win two.
We have a lot of experience and veterans on this team. As a team we are playing incredible basketball.
