Basketball gave me a lot, which is why I want to stay connected with this sport later on, maybe working with young people. But it would be more in the background. Being in the spotlight was never really my thing. I never wanted to be famous.

If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.

As a star you never know when people are really serious.

I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.

If theres an injury, for a couple games, you can have guys step in. But for a long period of time, it always catches up with you.

This feeling to be on the best team of the world is just indescribable.

Off the floor I'm really laid back, like nothing really fazes me too much. But on the floor I do get emotional and a little carried away. However, I started playing when I was 13 to have fun with my teammates, and that never stopped. I enjoy traveling and having fun in the locker room with the guys. Life is too short to be miserable.
