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

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

I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.

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.

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.

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