I'm not a good one-on-one player.

Jay-Z, for a lot of reasons, will always be my favorite. But actually, in terms of what I listen to, it bends towards hip-hop, but I like everything. The only thing I don't really love is country, but everything else I'm a huge fan of.

I've been really fortunate to go, and it's exciting. You're going to the White House. I remember first walking into the room to meet President Obama and the aura... It's insane.

I think, generally speaking as a player, when I hear the word 'scout,' it's usually, 'The Seattle Storm are playing the L.A. Sparks tomorrow; the assistant coaches are scouting the L.A. Sparks.' And then they come to us and give a scouting report on the players and the team.

Something I've been starting to use almost every day is a blood flow restriction system for my legs. It's good for recovery and strength.

In my mind, women's basketball players are an untapped resource.

Whether I retire tomorrow or in 20 years, I just want to get as much out as I can. But with that, I have an understanding that basketball's not forever.

When you're losing, and you're losing again, and you're losing 3... 4... 5 games in a row, it can be frustrating.

You hear about players like Jamal Crawford who's constantly giving back. Isaiah Thomas, even though he's from Tacoma, he went to U-Dub, and he's constantly giving back to the community.

People have this kind of different image of what Israel is and what it's about. And yes, there are military people all over, but there's so much more.

I love sneakers. My storage room is 75 percent sneakers.

I kinda always felt like I am out, for all intents and purposes. So I always came from the standpoint of, 'Why does writing it in an article or saying it in an article make me gay?' That doesn't make me gay or not. I'm living my life. I'm not lying; I don't hide it.

I think just by the nature of getting older, I hope that I'm a smarter basketball player than I was at 23.

There's been so many stories throughout the league where teams have started off poorly and ended up in the Finals. Or teams starting out great and not making the playoffs.

As quickly as you can go 4-1, you can go 1-4. And the whole objective is not to get too high and not to get too low. It's one thing to tell somebody that and explain it, but it's another thing to really buy in, to have felt that and understand what it means to stay even-keel. That's what you have to be in this league.

I've always played in a team atmosphere.

I guess, technically, I went to a New York City high school, but I wouldn't call myself a New York City kid. But I've played against city kids all my life. So that kind of instills something in you.

When you're a point guard, man, if you're not up to par, you're in a lot of trouble.

Whenever you go up 2-0, you understand that teams are going to be desperate.
