“Recently partnered with Express Men as a brand ambassador, so my closet is full of the new fashion trends and styles that keep me fresh for games.”

I know the blessing of having a dad who played 16 years in the league. That experience, and seeing him as an example, let me know that it’s possible. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it in your own way.

I shoot the ball so well that sometimes you fall in love with it and think it’ll get you out of certain situations.

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

With the NBA’s dress code, I had to revamp my wardrobe a little bit. They call it ‘business casual.’ You have to wear dress jeans or dress slacks, with a collared shirt or sweater. And you can’t wear athletic shoes.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

We’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to play well. Nothing will be given to us.

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

Control your own destiny! Control your own destiny!

Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t.

That feeling is so intoxicating, walking off the court holding the Larry O’Brien trophy. So I just want to do that again.

I always have an optimistic view, no matter what it is.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

I am not a BART regular but have taken it probably five times to and from the city with some of my teammates. Nice to just hop on the train and enjoy some of the views of the Bay Area while I’m out.

This is just one reason why I am thrilled to be working with the UN Environment as its Goodwill Ambassador.

I meet with ambassadors from all countries in my role as a member of Congress, and you always have better relationships with those you actually personally get along with. That matters.

I feel quite proud to be an ambassador for women who realize that being fit is better than being skinny.
