Answer:
I want to tell everybody thanks for being here. I appreciate the interest in
the league and me personally. I hope you come and support the Nashville
Noise and the ABL because if you want to see the best basketball played
below the rim, we'll give you your money's worth.
Is it true that you were once drafted by a professional men's league?
Answer:
Yes it's true. But I honestly couldn't believe it -- I was in disbelief --
just as you are now. But honestly I was flattered by it, but I turned it
down to come to a better league, the ABL.
Answer:
Thanks -- I'll check some of them out!
Answer:
Well, honestly, I think the lockout will benefit us. I think the NBA fans
will turn to the ABL just because there's no basketball. So if they can't
watch the men, they'll turn to the women. And that's a big plus for us.
Answer:
Teresa Edwards, Katrina McClain, Dawn Staley, Shannon Johnson, Sheri Sam,

and Adrienne Goodson.
Answer:
I haven't really been to many restaurants...why don't you suggest some?
Answer:
Awwww...thanks a lot! Thanks for all your support!!
Answer:
We've done clinics for youth groups and those are the most memorable for me.
Answer:
Yeah -- I have one of the best fans in the whole world. Her name is Ashley. The reason why Ashley is so memorable is because when I was hurt, I was still her number 1 player. She supported me through my injury and still came out to all the games wearing my jersey. So, Ashley's my number 1 fan and I wouldn't trade her for the world. Her supporting me made me more determined to get back. Just seeing the smile on her face when I came out the first game from my injury, made my determination even greater.
Answer:
When you get injured, and you've had surgery, it's a constant battle every day to get where you need to be to improve and to stay healthy.
How do you feel about the departure of Dawn Staley?
Answer:
First of all, I think Dawn is a great player. I really enjoy playing against her. She's a competitor. I think when it comes down to a point in your career when you have to make certain decisions about your career, I think she did what was best for Dawn at this point in her career.
Answer:
I really don't have a favorite food but I love to eat junk food. LOL.
Answer:
Thinking. Sitting at home listening to music and thinking about things I
need to do and what I need to do to get there.
Answer:
The commercials were fun. It's more work than what it seems to be. I don't
think people know how many hours a 30-second commercial takes! I don't have a person
that I like to go up against. The only thing I'm concerned about is winning --
our team being successful.
Answer:
In my opinion, it's a challenge every night that you go out and step on the
floor in the ABL. Just because the league is that good and you have all the
great players in this league. So when you choose the ABL as a player, you're
not afraid to compete.
Answer:
Well, I would like to think so, but if not, then we'll take support from
anybody and everybody, whether you're a Bulldog fan or not.
Answer:
Mostly R&B and rap, and right now I like Lauren Hill.
Answer:
I hope you are able to make it to the game. If so, I'll personally come
and shake your hand for coming to the game -- not in the middle of a play
but after the game...
Answer:
I think our team has come a long way from day 1 -- Sept 28. I think we're coming together as a team. Like I said, it's not going to happen overnight, but I think we're finally learning to trust each other defensively, helping each other out -- not just playing your man, but helping each other -- so yes, I think our defense has come along.
Answer:
I think I am just because I like being silly sometimes when we get together as a team. But I know how to be serious when the time comes, and I think it's important to know how to make that transition. Because you can't be a certain way all the time.
Answer:
That's a great question. I think we're coming along as a team, and, of course, know that we're an expansion team, so all the players are unfamiliar with each other. Even though we've had a month to get prepared, there's still a lot of things that haven't come together, but we're working hard everyday in practice to get it together.
Answer:
Happy Birthday! Glad I could be of some help to make it a good birthday. What I'm most excited about this season is to get started and for the competitiveness in the league. To be able to go out and compete in every game and know you are competing against the best.
Answer:
Most definitely -- I'm excited about the season. It's time for us to show people what Nashville basketball is all about. So if you really want to see us, come out November 7 -- our first home game against the Quest.
Answer:
Thank you. No, I'm not 100% -- I'm probably at 85%. And tell my Aunt I said hello -- and I hope to see you both at our first game in San Jose.
Answer:
Fine -- how are you?

This whole deal was originally done by Medius Interactive and the American Basketball League, but I saved what you're seeing here before it vanished forever. (Since I was a season ticket holder, I feel they owe me something). Think of me as an historian. Future generations of young girls need to know what could have been. |
