There's a certain reason why certain people win because they have a winning mentality and they bring it into the locker room, into the gym every single day. You can't have enough of those people.

My dad woke up at 5:30 every morning - every single day - and drove an hour-and-a-half to work. My mom was constantly working odd jobs, whether it was at Sizzler or babysitting. I didn't realize how hard they worked. Most kids rarely do. But they were building something for us.

When they say my name, I want them to say the Phoenix Mercury and vice versa. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Every time I see my life without basketball, I get a little scared, and I try to put a little more into it.
