It goes back to my resilience, my work ethic, and the love I have for the game. Every game I play I imagine there is one person out there who has never been to a WNBA game or every seen women play first hand. I want them to be like ‘Man, that No. 24 is relentless and gives it her all!’
I told her, 'If you ever want to make a number of years of money in the WNBA, you're going to have to be able to shoot the three ball ... We had her go with Coach (Travis) Mays and he kind of tweaked her shot a little bit.
If she works hard, keeps the same attitude she's got, she's going to have an impact on the NCAA level, she's going to have an impact on the WNBA, she's going to have an impact on the Olympics ... In my opinion, she's going to win a lot of gold medals.
