There is nothing I've been through in my life that I regret, or that I would go back and change. I feel like everything that happened - personally and professionally - I went through for a reason, and I learned from those things.

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

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

Every level that I have ever competed on, I have risen to the top.

I was very bitter, frustrated, hurt, angry - I went through all types of emotions when I first was out of the WNBA.

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.
