When I see these young girls who are dreaming the dream that I'm living, it's very very exciting and it puts a big smile on my face.

There's a lot of room to grow, and the women who believe they're worth it are the ones who are going to make good things happen during the next period of WNBA growth.

When I come off the bench, I'm looking to add energy, and then I play defense and rebound. Also, at the end of the game, I have the experience to go out there and help us win.

For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.

It's funny, 'cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they'll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.

For me, the money isn't a big issue. I'm at the end of my career and I'm just happy to play.

You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.
