I had never made any plans beyond basketball.

I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman, let alone me.

Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.

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.

Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.

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

...as far as self-discipline goes, it's still ultimately up to me how well I can push myself. Only I can do that. I just have to keep on going, keep on working, keep on improving.
