It's an honor to be considered in the same breath, but I'm not Michael Jordan. I'm the first Chamique Holdsclaw. And I think that's where the women's game has to get to, when women are recognized on their own.

I want to be different from anyone ever.

The one thing I've always done is work hard. That's not going to change.

My teammates know I'm down to earth. I'll joke with them. But when it comes to basketball, I try to be serious about it.

I never get used to the response that people have toward me.

I just go out there and play basketball. God's given me the ability. The only thing I can do is go out and play.

I think I have a great sense of me as a person.
