I wanted to ask you kind of in advance just cuz I know we're going to be busy but you know they're going to retire Maya's Jersey while here what was it like seeing her enter the league as as a veteran back in the day oh gosh uh I mean my welcome to the WNBA moment was Maya you know just guarding her her Aura just in general I remember being in San Antonio just was scared I always end up playing the links here on my birthday I don't know why uh it's crazy but um you know it's just her Aura and what she represented for us as guards shooting guards and threes um her ability to score at all three levels at a crazy rate um you know everybody knew who she was when you come in League it's like this Aura you know it's kind of like you know the Diana and everybody else you she has this aura about her so I'm really excited that I get to be here and that was a big reason why I wanted to come here is because of those players that I played against when I was when I was coming up so I'm excited she was a tough guard oh yeah I mean cuz she's just she's big she's physical um she can jump she can like leap over you you know she can get to the rim she can pass she would you know she could play in the mid post and like that was just like seeing somebody have a complete game for the first time like actually going up against it I think um as a pro so yeah I mean I'm really excited and so happy for her and her family um I know that the league has kind of been on this trajectory but I mean in a way was she kind of like the Caitlyn clar per day I mean yeah I mean in our eyes for sure I mean there was so many players at that time too that had so much Aura like you would say then you said the Stewie you know the Skyler Diggin like they just had so much more coming into the league which creates a lot of pressure and I think just handle it so well with so so much grace you know and I think that that was that was something that stood out to me with her for sure as a as a fan watching the game did you watch the 15 finals I did I was there oh you were in Indie I was in Indie because I was at Notre Dame oh yeah yeah so I was I was uh I was there I remember right after the season I had a chance to chance to go so it was it was pretty cool where were you sitting like right behind the bench bench so unfortunately so I could play I can see it I was at 12 and 15 so oh you remember that shot yeah I remember the shot everything went quiet that was crazy amazing like you just to see it live it's just unbelievable so thank you yeah for sure can I just quick get your thoughts on um um G and fee winning the Goldman I'm just so happy for them you know obviously I spent uh a lot of time with them here in mini but to see them doing it on that level and bringing home the gold I was pulling for them even Claire being out there Dame we have a lot of mini mini blood out there so I was I'm just so happy for them you know it's like uh it only comes once every four years you never know what how the cards are going to fall so to be able to be there and bring home the gold is so special um and they mean a lot to me and you know in my life so I'm just super happy to for them to be coming home with the gold uh the last 15 games um and you know we want to maximize it obviously we have our Olympians coming back slowly but surely um and so I think our mindset is just like attack each day as best we can and make the most of it you know I don't think that Seasons like this happen all the time I've been in the league in a while um so have to be in a good position right now basically like treat these last 15 games like their playoff games um and move forward move forward with that mindset and see where that see where that takes us I think we have a a great group um mentality I think we all are kind of on the same page so um just taking it like 15 playoff games and see where we end up um you guys kind of held your own without fee mhm um held their own yeah five and five into the break I mean not bad but you know there was some injury issues um now you got everybody back um do you think this team is primed for a a good finish for sure like I said we want to get out the Gat strong you know we we start at home which is great um but you know those first three games like that's going to traj us to where we want to be at so I think that you know this time together that we've had with our assistants was really powerful for us um especially myself you know getting some rest come back with that that fresh mentality and then we add our Olympians back in and you know just give it everything we got you know like I said I think as long we keep it on the same mentality and everybody stays healthy I think we have a great chance of doing some great things
