My whole career has been trying to please people in basketball. Now it's time to please myself.

The Sparks have always been committed to success and making the right moves to build upon their rich tradition in the WNBA.

You're measured by championships no matter what.

I look at it this way: the WNBA is 13 years young. I think eventually women will get to that point, maybe in my daughter's generation, where their salaries will be similar to men's. But we're still starting off, like, where the NBA was back in the 1950s.

It will be exciting to have my child share my career and to remember what I was like when I was young.

Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way I am achieving my dreams.

For me, family has always come first.
