[Jordan] absolutely loves it. What kind of sold him on it was he heard or found out that this is where Kobe Bryant started playing basketball. He said, 'Mom I want to go to Italy because I want to be just like Kobe. I want to speak Italian. I want to be able to speak more than one language and I want to be a great basketball player.' So I probably have Kobe to thank for that. |
And I just think right now, we're clicking (on) all cylinders offensively, defensively; we're moving the ball, we're making other teams have to work on defense. And when you're playing basketball like that, you're going to be pretty tough to beat. |
At times, I thought we were unstoppable. If you'd told me it would be this kind of game, I wouldn't believe you. I thought it was going to be more of a battle. Today, I can honestly say that we wanted it more than they did. |
But I think everybody is confident enough to know that if we go down there Saturday and not have 20 turnovers like we did tonight, we have a pretty good shot at winning, |
decades-long policy of harassing players whom (she) believed to be lesbians. |
Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life, ... Being intimate with [Alisa] or any other woman never entered my mind. At the same time, I'm a firm believer that when you fall in love with somebody, you can't control that. |
Do I think I was born this way? No, |
Do I think I was born this way? No, ... And that's probably confusing to some, because I know a lot of people believe that you are. |
Every practice and every game that we have, Tina is getting better and better and better, |
For me, I like to work on my game, and if I weren't playing overseas I'd probably take a couple of months off and then I'd have to find somewhere to go and play around [home] and stay in shape anyway. So why not go overseas and work on my game and stay in shape and then be able to make some money at the same time? |
For whatever reason, we can't put two halves together, ... We dug ourselves a hole in the first half and came back in the second half a completely different team. |
Hopefully, this will not have a negative effect on the W.N.B.A., ... Me coming out does not change what the W.N.B.A. stands for as a basketball league. I don't think there's any secret that the huge support we get comes from the gay and lesbian community. It's unfortunate that people, and those not only in W.N.B.A., are not able to feel like they can be who they are. They lose endorsements; they lose friends and family. |
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 got in a rhythm in the second half and everything seemed like it was going well, |
I had a horrible game. Now our backs are against the wall. We've got to go there [Seattle] and win two. |
