TV is what sells your product.

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

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

I didn't grow up thinking, 'Oh, maybe someday I'm going to have a shoe named after me.'

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.

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