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.
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.
basketball player sight
I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women's basketball player.
player yesterday starting-over
It's funny, 'cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they'll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.
play careers issues
For me, the money isn't a big issue. I'm at the end of my career and I'm just happy to play.
winning games play
When I come off the bench, I'm looking to add energy, and then I play defense and rebound. Also, at the end of the game, I have the experience to go out there and help us win.
team games play
For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.
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 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 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.
