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.

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

I had never made any plans beyond basketball.

Everybody wants to win.

It didn't matter how good I was. It was always, 'You're a girl. You can't play with the guys.' It's always been motivation for me.

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

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