From my first dunk at 14 years old to my second NCAA Championship at the University of Tennessee, my intense training with my dad was always to credit.

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

On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality.

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

I don't think I would take the game with the same mentality that I do now if I hadn't been injured.

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.

For me, family has always come first.
