Great basketball teams are great during crunch time. I don't think we gave them the game. They stepped up and took it from us.

I've said this many, many times: I don't need to be validated, not in basketball, ... I've won three championships. I was on the all-defensive team (nine times).

We'll have a hard time with these guys coming back from basketball, but we'll be there at the end.

Basketball started for me in this city and I want to be here when it's finally time for me to stop, ... I'm not here to retire. I'm here to help build something that will be around for a long time.

I played four years at UCLA but I didn't think (women's) basketball was going anyplace at the time,

You have to mature every year, both mentally and on the basketball court. Hopefully, this is the time it happens to me.
