I never really officially retired from the WNBA, I just left the doors open.

I want to show kids, look where I came from. You can do it too if you believe and are willing to work hard.

To me, the most important thing is happiness.

I always believe someone somewhere is working harder than me and that motivates me to work harder, give 100%.

As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.

I'm at a place in my life right now where I'm very happy, very content. I'm finally OK with the idea of who I love, who I want to be with.

There was the misconception out there that I retired after the 2008 season, but that was never the case. I wasn't done with basketball yet, and I'm still not done.
