What's so special about this team is that we all have the same mentality, this sort of, 'We've been knocked down, let's get back up' mentality.

My baby is the joy in my life.

I look at it this way: the WNBA is 13 years young. I think eventually women will get to that point, maybe in my daughter's generation, where their salaries will be similar to men's. But we're still starting off, like, where the NBA was back in the 1950s.
