Anytime you play a finalist it's going to be a challenge. Growing up in a soccer family I learned some good moves, but I spend a lot of time in practice working on my shots-from free throws to off-balance shots. The only way a shooter can perfect their shots is through constant practice. I am a huge believer in giving back and helping out in the community and the world. Think globally, act locally I suppose. I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others. I am not too accusatorial or defensive by nature. I have always been kind of philosophical about it, remembering that it is just a game. People take these things too seriously. I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney. I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale. I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium. I learned at a young age to dribble with both hands, and that allows me to be more creative when I go against bigger and stronger opponents. I lick my fingers because I don't like when my hands get slick. Licking my fingers helps me keep a good grip on the ball. It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter. My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball. My ideal day would be to get a good work out in, listen to music, talk to my family and friends on the phone, read and go to a good movie. The fans in Dallas were hard on me my first year, but after having a great year last year they are now supporting me. It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me. We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers. We've got very few bodies right now so we were tired, but we've also got a lot of character and we want to win. |
