sports believe thinking
Sometimes people think that if you're always helping people up and never hit someone with a hard foul, you're automatically a good sport. I don't believe that.
basketball sports believe
I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down, because I believe in that style of play, and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.
team believe play
I even believe if you're killing a team, you shouldn't stop. You should respect your opponents enough to play 100 percent the whole time. And by the same token, if you're getting killed by the other team, you should never quit.
believe growth rooms
There's a lot of room to grow, and the women who believe they're worth it are the ones who are going to make good things happen during the next period of WNBA growth.
believe humble player
You have to demand things and believe you're worth more. And once you do demand them, you're usually going to get them. The players who first came in were very humble because we came from obscurity. Today's players, on the other hand, have a sense of entitlement.
american-athlete hard longer lots million playing
There's lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I've been doing that for longer than I've been playing in the WNBA.
aggressive american-athlete course earn older player share surprised tricks won younger
I was surprised I won the award because I've always been a very aggressive player and I earn my share of fouls on the court. I play rough, and because I'm an older player, of course I use tricks on the younger players.
american-athlete games good local ncaa stations televised
When I went to college, we had a very good local following, but stations only televised two or three NCAA games a season. And when I went to Europe, once in a while we had a good crowd, but usually not.
Being from New York, if you're gay, you're gay. I think it's important that if you are gay, you not be afraid to say who you are.
cute far gorgeous michael push sugar watch
It's just like Magic's or Sugar Ray's or Michael Jordan's. It's this cute, gorgeous smile, but then you push any of them too far and watch out -- an animal's released.
american-athlete ask changes coaches depending diminish either increase role
Your role changes as coaches ask you to increase your role or diminish it. And depending on how you look at it, either can be a positive.
american-athlete cut good talk team
I think it's good to talk more about the team atmosphere, chemistry, and leadership, because not everyone is cut out to be a star.
jobs mean player
As far as starting or not starting, that means more to some players than others. And if it means more to someone else, I think you should let them start and just go out there and do your job when it's your turn.
years games play
Every year I try to keep in excellent shape and improve some part of my game. I play in the offseason overseas to keep my game tuned up and hopefully improve a little in some area.
