THREAD: women in sports who have helped me 🙏🏿

(feel free to share yours too!)

First shoutout: @Nnemkadi30 because i chickened out of our first bball practice when I was 10 & she bravely stayed, taught me everything she learned at home on our driveway. And the rest is history.
thank you @CondoleezzaRice for taking the time the next day after our big win vs UConn my freshman year... to remind me that if I can play in front of packed gyms and on TV, that I can raise my hand in class. 😭🙏🏿 #NGWSD
thank you @LisaLeslie.

Always tracking me down in LA & taking me to your house after my injuries, coming to my lil sisters’ games at Pepperdine, & on your HALL OF FAME night when I was with the Sun - last minute you got me tix to see!

First athlete I wanted to be & now family.
sending love to the GOAT @heydb.

When I was first brought on as an NBA analyst, she heard that I was staying at the same hotel for the Laker game..

So she invited me to join her for breakfast and shadow their pregame meeting, teaching me how she preps for games. 🐐
