Actually just recently I came up with that idea, watching the movie 'Legally Blonde' and I was like, 'cool, that's something I want to do. |
As a role model for young girls and women, I just encourage them to continue their education and set their goals. And for me, mine are just really high and I just happen to be a professional basketball player but I really am a stickler for my goals and I wanted to get my Master's. |
Boys have a tendency to jump around a lot more than girls. Boys have that desire to want to dunk way more than girls do. It just never seemed like something we could truly fathom and do. |
Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old. |
For me, being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever. |
I don't think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn't have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am. |
I enjoy being in school. I've learned so much already, with taking economics and law, and I have marketing and statistics coming up next. |
I love cheesecake and whipped cream. Those are my two downfalls. |
I played on an all-boy's team in the 8th grade, but they wouldn't throw me the ball even though I was on their team. One day I stole the ball from my own teammate and I made a basket. From that point on, everyone yelled "Give the ball to the girl!" I was the only girl on the whole league! |
I think this is an awesome opportunity for us as athletes to help and give back to the hurricane victims. Money is just what they need to get back on their feet right now, and that is why we are here. |
I think Vanna does have to worry about me replacing her, ... Some of the letters are hard to reach. She is 5-6 and I am 6-5, though one of the letters was a little low for me, so maybe I have to keep her on as my back-up. |
I think we are getting better, but I don't know if we have enough time. |
I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity and also my teammates from the West side for giving me the ball. |
I would like to probably have my own business. I haven't decided in what areas - maybe a spa. I like a day spa, something like that. Always giving back to women. Or big shoes because there's a huge market there. People have big feet now. Start at maybe size 10 and end at 15 with some really nice, fashionable shoes. |
I'll still be in school in-season. It's a big challenge for me, but I've learned so much already from just the business side of the Sparks organization as well as the WNBA organization. |
