  Speaker 1: you're from North.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Carolina, North Carolina.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: You went to the same high school as Michael Jordan. Yep,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: absolutely is it Cheney Cheney Laney Laney I got. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: got the Jordan five's that came out in the color
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in the colorway exactly.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so you went to Laney High School? Say, now
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: can you explain that? Like is it like does he
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: have a statue out there like.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: He does and his jersey is up my jersey?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so you know, they got his emblem on
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the floor, the players get Jordan gear. They got all
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: his you know, accolades and stuff in the little trophy cases.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: So it's dope.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Now standing at six two, how long have you been
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: playing basketball? Like? What age did you start?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: For real? For real? Maybe like nine? Okay, But when
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I was little, I used to go outside and play
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: with my brother and my sister. I always wanted to
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: be like my brother growing up as a kid, so
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I played with them. But when I first played for
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the girls club, I was like maybe ten eleven.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Were you like the tallest girl?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Then I was actually short. I hit a Grosberg. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that's why I started off as a point guard because
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I was short, and then I hit a Grospert. They
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: started trying to put me in the wing, put me
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: on the post, which helped me become more versatile as
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I got older. But as a younger and I'm like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I'm a guard, I'm not getting the post. I want
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the ball. I'm not waiting for the ball. But it
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: worked out for me for my career to be more versatile.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Now, when did you hit your gro spert? Like and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: how like? How does that work? I never hit a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: groc sper.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I was tall in fifth grade and then that was it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: That was it. You just started.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: You start seeing everybody gets taller than you be like, well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: maybe I don't need to be playing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So it's crazy because my sister was tall and I
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: was short, and now I'm six two of my sister's
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: five three and a half. Really yeah, so it's like
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I just hit a grosper in high school. I don't
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: know how it happened. You know, maybe God just knew
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that I needed to make it to the league. I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: don't know how what happened.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now, going to Laney High School, did you guys
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have like a surplus of recruitment there because that was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Jordan's school or was it? No?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Not at all. My sister is three years older than me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: She wanted to go there, so we used our auntie's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: address to go there. And so then like we all did,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: so I had to go there because my sister went there.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: My brother went to a school in the country because
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: he lived with my father when my parents split. So
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: it wasn't like a recruitment. It wasn't even about basketball.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It was more so just following my sister footsteps.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, okay, now going to college, how was that for you? Like? Now,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because you got a full scholarship to play basketball, how
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: was that for you?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And what was the something that you was like, damn,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I like this or I don't like this.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: So it was a recruitment process. I had a lot
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of colleges sending me prospect letters, but it was more
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: so about how the coach and the team made me feel.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to go to a school where I
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: would have to sit the bench, you know, because the
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: top schools a lot of the new recruits they're having
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to earn and wait. I wanted to go and make
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: an initial impact. I wanted to go make a difference.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And so when I chose James Madison, that's what it was.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: It was unheard of. I never even heard of it
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: until you know they were recruiting me.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Where's James Manson.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And Harrison Burd Virginia?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: So I never heard of it, but I believed in
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the coach when I got there, the team, the campus
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was beautiful, and I didn't want to go too close
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: to home, so out of my top five when I
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: went on my visit, I just felt that was the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: decision that was the choice for me and it worked out.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Now, when you said that you didn't want to go
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to like the top schools, did you actually go visit
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: those top schools?
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: So one of my favorite schools was Carolina. Okay, So
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: as a kid, I'm from North Carolina. They used to
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: send letters to come to their camps, but four twenty
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: five for a camp. Growing up from my mother, we
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: couldn't afford that, so I never went. I went to
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: NC State, which we had like something for our team.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: We always went to NC State and I did like
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in C State, but when it came to recruitment, those
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: schools wasn't recruiting me, not until I've already basically committed
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: to JMU and we was playing in the All Star Game,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the North Carolina All Star Game, and my family heard
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the coach that was at Carolina asking about me. But
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it's too late now, you know. So it was one
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: of those things where it was like those were one
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of my my favorite schools, but they wasn't recruiting me,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: so I had to go where I was wanted.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Hello, and you did really good because number eighth pick,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: first round Atlanta Dream. Yeah yeah, yeah, you didn't spend
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: ma Jory of your career. You spend MAJORI your career
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, but you know, we were definitely pleased to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have you in Atlanta.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the A.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: What was that experience like being the eighth pit and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: then coming to Atlanta.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It was so crazy, right because I knew I would
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: be a top pick, but it's like I didn't know where, when, what,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And so I have never been to Atlanta. So here
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I am coming from college, I get drafted, boom, they
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: fly me out first class. I never flew first class.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, oh, I'm living to dream. Yeah, I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: like this is lit. Yeah, and so I came. They
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: took me around the city and just moving here and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: being on my own. It was different because I didn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: really know a lot of people here, but it was
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a dream come true. And so like ever since then,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Atlanta has always been my primary residence.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so even though you because you were in Chicago
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for nine years, years.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: In Vegas for two years, okay, but my home has
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: always been here.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Now, how how does it feel when you get drafted?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Like does it feel like a movie like Two K? Like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: how does it feel that moment you get drafted? Because
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I played two K and you know, like when they
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: do all the theatrical stuff, I imagine this is probably how
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: it feels to go to the league.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like it feels it feels surreal. You know, it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: like they call me your name, everybody's like celebrating you,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: like damn, like Mama, we really made it. You know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: like it's surreal. Like it's an undescribable thing because even
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: trying to think back now and relive it is just
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: like you can't. It's like just that moment, it was
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: just crazy.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a bunch of new cousins.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: My phone was the family immediately thinking, oh yeah we
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: rich were good.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Not my immediate family, but the other people. Oh, they
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: had all kind of room and she's making eight hundred thousand.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: She's rich. I'm like, they have no idea what the
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: rookie salary was. And at that time, for me, because
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I was a top pick, it was forty thousand, which
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: a year. Yeah, the for the four months that I'm
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: in Yeah, during that time, I am making more money
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: than my mother. You know, as a twenty one year
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: old kid. It's like, oh, I'm good. You know, you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: going from making fifteen getting fifteen hundred for a pelgram
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: in college, so now I'm getting none of that nothing.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: So you're getting forty thousand for four months for a
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: twenty one year old I'm like, oh, I am kind
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: of rich, you know, but not really.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, really we're gonna go to commercial. Uh, Tale
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Young is in the building, Ferrari Simmons, you know BT, Yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Baller on Revolt.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: That's right, and we are back ball Alert TV right
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: here on Revote TV, you know BT Forri Simmons.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Tie Young is in the building.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: And we're over here talking about how you got drafted
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: and how that made you feel. So was there some
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: cousins and people that you just had to just block?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I wasn't blocking, but from then to now, I probably
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: changed my number about twenty times.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Twenty times.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Damn, that might be me being modest. I probably changed
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: it more than that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I can't even imagine like having that, having that type
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: of you know pressure. So when you came to Atlanta, Uh,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: what was your take when you first, you know, got
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: in the team practice and you started me and your
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: teammates and everything.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: They were strong, like stronger man. I was running into
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: every screen like a ping pompom. The pace was fast,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: so you know, it was it was tough to adapt to,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: especially for me coming from a mid major. So in
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: a mid major, I'm not even playing playing the top
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: players all the time. You know. My my coach was
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: set up games for non conference to play some of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the top teams. But it was a big adjustment. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: that's why even now, as talented and as good as
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of these college players are, I always say
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it's an adjustment. Like the league is grown women. They're stronger,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: and the pace is faster.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And they got mortgage just to pay and you ain't
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: taking the spot. You ain't taking the spot. That was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that movie He loving Basketball, She left the weights on
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the chest.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you here, you only here because that's got hurt shout.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: As a rookie. They sized you up for sure, like
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you ain't coming from my spot, especially from a vet
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: to a rookie. And I was a top pick. Oh yeah, no,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: they had a.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Boy because you number eight. Yeah, you're coming in with
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: some cash.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: And they know if you're their first round, somebody gotta go.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: No, somebody gotta go because you're taking somebody spot.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was tough now time is.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I just said, I like some ladies. How was that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when you moved to Atlanta? Because it's not it's just beautiful.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful women everywhere.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: So when I first got drafted, I did have a
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: girlfriend at the time. I had to think I had
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a girlfriend at the time, but I still was uh
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: dating men. Wait yeah she said what she said, not
• 10:31

  Speaker 3: I was like yeah, but I was still like I
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: still was attracted to men.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and the guys were after me when I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: was drafted here.

• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Out a list. Celebrities too, was after me. I ain't
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: gonna name drop but for sure. Okay, but I had
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: a girl, you know, so it didn't last long after
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I was in the league. She was still in college.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you forgot all about it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't. But she tried to play a game, you know.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: So you know people try to play a game. You
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: can't play a game with me because I'm play a
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: game back we got now, we got two controllers, Sega Genesis.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: What was the moment that made you say, because you
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: said I used to that's past tense. Now, what was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the moment that made you say, you know what, I'm
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: just rocking with the ladies.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Now, I just realized I like women more. I'm like
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: even now, like I find God's attractive. But I'm not
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: sleeping with them. I'm not dating them, you know. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: just like women more, and I don't want to go
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: back and forth. That's not for me, you know, So
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I just chose the women.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, it was just a random thought one day.

  Speaker 4: That is interesting when people when people have a switch,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: just as like I don't want to date a man
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: because he hurt me, and then you just said, well,

• 13:24
  Speaker 3: sitting the bench. I'm like, that's her. I didn't work
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: this hard to be a cheerleader. Like, so, why don't
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: you trade me here to a team that wants to me?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: And she said, no, I'm not trading you. So randomly,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: one day, I'm on my way to the mall and
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: she calls me and says she's trading me to Chicago. Like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I never asked to go to Chicago. How do we
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: get here?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: You're like, I want to go to Detroit.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But during that time, the person they traded me
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: for college coach was my assistant coach. So it worked
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: out more in their favor, you know. So that's how
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that trade happened.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Now, so you go to the windy City, shy town, Yeah,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: how's that because Chicago, Nobody just says I'm going to Chicago.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It was family there.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't have no.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Family, No disrespect Chicago.

• 14:28
  Speaker 5: especially if we got to get in Chicago.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: We go there, they can walk up. I was just saying,
• 14:34

• 14:39
  Speaker 1: sure all cool.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I don't got nothing to do with that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: So when you get to Chicago, I had.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: No idea what's going on. Like I've never been except
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: when I played there. I did have an auntie that
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: lived there.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: City. That's the third largest market in the country.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Cute city. And we lived right downtown too, So it
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: was beautiful. It was fun, but I had to, you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: have my teammates showed me around a little bit.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Now, how was it was it popping.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: It was popping. They had some cool day parties. They
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: had the great food. I haven't been to a restaurant
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: in Chicago where I did not like the food.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Oh y'all, yeah, I know.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Hell, Hero's Chicken is everywhere and it ain't sat Uncle Remas,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: but I haven't had. But I love Chicago. I stayed
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: one winner and I haven't stayed another winner.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Of that scene, now, that is what I was talking about.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: They got the water, the water turn ice out. There's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: something called wind chill. It is five with the wind
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: chill of negative fifteen. What and then you gotta have
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: like your undershirt, gotta have an undershirt? He I'm cool.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: What the hell?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: What the hell?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Chicago when we come back with the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Ball Alert Show, brought to you by Revolt.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: That's right, man, we are back right here on the
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Battle Alert Show on Revolt TV.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Now, were talking about sha Town.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Traded to Chicago. We're talking about the lifestyle and everything.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: That's cool, But what about practice? How was that practice?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: So practice in Chicago from Atlanta, it was so chill,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Like I had all of these veterans on my team
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: in Chicago. So it wasn't as as intense as Atlanta
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: because Atlanta's a new team. So I got them like damn,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Like it's pretty cool. But soon as I got there,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the player that was in my position got hurt. So
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: then I moved right into the starting lineup. So I
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: went from sitting the bench. So now I'm back starting
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: playing significant minutes. Now I love that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Now, when you when you got your start back, how
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: did that make you feel?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Like did that get your confidence back going?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: And and how how did your teammates treat you like
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: when you got there.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Like, man, he came on here and got you know
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: what I mean, Yo, My teammates showed mad love like
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: it wasn't no hate, it wasn't no jealousy. Like even
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the player that got hurt that she was like showing
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: me the route, showing me the way, like they showed that,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: especially in a business like a professional because you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: you're fighting for a job at the end of the day,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: it's your job, it's your livelihood. But they showed man
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: up like I can't even complain about the teammates I
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: had during that time.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And you stayed there nine years season, so that was
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that was That's a long tenure to even play a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: professional sport. Yeah, so that's a blessing.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Number two, I think around this time, when did your
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: high school jersey get retired while you were in Chicago?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: While I was in Chicago.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, So you go home and your jersey gets retired.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: How was that?
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: It was cool? Like, my family was there, my jersey
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: now about to be hunger with Jordan. I'm in the
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: same pro city as Jordan. I felt like I was
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: about to get a Jordan deal. Yeah, it makes sense Chicago,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: but it ain't happened. I felt like it could happen.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: But you know, now these days, the w NBA women
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: players are traveling better. Yeah, a lot of deals. Now, Yeah,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: was that an issue with you guys? Because I heard
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and I want to ask you, as soon as you
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: got season was done, you had to go overseas and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: play right like it was not even an option, like
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: or I got to go get a job or I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: got to pick up a different hustle on the side.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Was that something that you had to do?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So for the most part, I went overseas. There
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: were a couple of times, you know, every season for
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: my first five years. Yeah, yeah, first five years I
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: went overseas, and then it became a point where I
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: was stay in Chicago and do an internship. They started
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: doing deals with the teams for players, like they would
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: pay you to stay in the city. You could do
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: an internship, or you could do like marketing for the team.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: But wow, yeah, So then I started doing that because
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I got tired of going overseas being away from my family.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: You know, like four to five months in the summer,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: then you oversee seven eight months away. It was a lot,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: and it takes a toll on your body. So I
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: stopped doing that. Where people didn't see it fit for me.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: They're like, oh, you got to get to chase the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: bag as long as you can. But my sanity and
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: my happiness is more important than me chasing the bag.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: But it still was a good life, you know, like
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: living a dream being yeah, being paid to play basketball,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: and I'm able to see the world. If I didn't
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: play ball, I wouldn't have been to a lot of
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: places that I travel to.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because we do have a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: mental health check in courtesy of the Faith Project. When tooification,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: How do you ty young keep your mental strong?
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: What do you do pray, and I speak with my family,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: like I stay close to my family, and sometimes I
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: get off the internet, you know, like social media. People
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: behind phones or computers, they feel like they know you.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: They can say whatever they want. You know, misery loves company,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: and so sometimes you have to get away from that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But me being in the public eye for so long
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: and basketball has helped me build, you know, like a
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: tough mentality where I've learned to ignore critics. But we
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: all human, you know. Sometimes it does take a toll,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: but that's when I just separate myself and do the
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: things that I enjoyed, like spending time with my family,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: watching movies, just detaching from the things that could, you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: cause fog or cause issues for you mentally.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're. You were to me one of the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: very popular faces in the w NBA when you played,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and you're a popular face now still because you are
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: an assistant coach.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: No no, yeah, this one year.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Ok, yeah, I thought you still like kept doing that now.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm still like doing different coaching jobs, but I'm
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: not with the Chicago Sky anymore. They fired our head
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: coach last year after one year.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember that, and they I thought they
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: did good.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah we did.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: After one year, because.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I would see you on the bench, I was like, damn, okay.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been like very controversial now because like normally
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: you get at least two years, and then you got
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, Chicago had Cardoza, Cardoz and Angel and
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I saw the hot pics. Yeah, I thought you guys
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: did really good.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Like season, Yeah, we we did better than we were expected.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: They expected us to finish last. We were one game
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: from making playoffs. Even in the end, we had like
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: four of our starters injured. So it was a lot
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: of things that happened where I didn't think she was
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: gonna get fired that soon. And we was also renegotiating
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: bringing me back too.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: So so they sound like they need to pick up
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: the phone to call you because this is crazy. Man.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Professional basketball is a very grueling business.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: It's like, man, you like, if you see how like
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: these coaches are being fired at it's like you ain't
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: even got a chance.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's cutthroat. But as you see in the NBA
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: when they fired coaches, they like kind of rotate, you know.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: They send him over here, he come over here, he
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: go over there. Never see anyone Vanish.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and like ours, they were like seven different head
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: coaches and changes, and they probably only rotated like two
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Before we go to commercial because we got a couple
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: more minutes. Is it a thing? Is it better for
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a w NBA player or a college woman player to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: have a female coach or or a man coach? Doesn't matter.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like it matters. I think it just
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: depends on the coach and their philosophy. Like one of
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: my favorite coaches is a man coach. My college coach,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: he was a male, and then I've had female coaches
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: that I love too, So I just feel like it's
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the nature of the coach and how that coach can
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: resonate and you know, get the players to do what's
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: needed to be done, get the players to respect you
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and buy into your system.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Do you think that the NBA should put eventually, one
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: day get a woman head coach full absolutely team?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely. I mean like they have assistant female coaches,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: So when it's the time that we're going to have
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: a female head coaches, Like we got male head coaches
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: in the W and now they're still adding more male coaches.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: To the W.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: So when are we going to get the opportunity for
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: the for the men because basketball and coaching and knowing
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: the game, it doesn't matter if you male are female.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I just feel like women have to know twice is
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: more sports than men in the sporting world.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like they make it harder for women.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, because the women, the women coaches and the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: women analysts that I see, I'll be like, dog, she
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: knows way more than anyone on this television set. And
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and she's not getting enough air like face time on
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: television here, Like yo, she is like what's the girl.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: She used to play?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: She know her stuff, she know her stuff. It's a
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a couple of other ones that be
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: knowing their stuff that I see that steven A will
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: put on first take.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: The women we know our stuff, you know, but it's
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: it's like a male dominant thing. But the women, we
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: know our stuff for sure.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: One time for El Dunk, she fought too and she
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: being anyway, let's go to commercial. T Young in the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: building of the Ballert Show brought to you, and we're
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: back on the ball Alert Show brought to you by
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a Revolt. Ty Young is in the building. Uh, the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: legend the person were about to ask this question too.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: It is now time for do you like me? This
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: is that moment when you're looking at the camera and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you shout out your crush. Who you crushing on? Somebody
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you have a crush on? It's single.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, I don't really have no crush.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: It's not a woman that I wanted to date and
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: couldn't date.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to think, do
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you check your d ms? Like, how does someone get
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a hold of you in a romantic way?
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: It's usually like in person. Social media scares me, you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: like people be using apps filters, you.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Know, like you ain't trying to get caffeine.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: But like I'm an energy person too, you know. So
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: usually the people that I've dated, I've met in person
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: and they like just connect. But my dms are going crazy,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: like even more so now that I'm on basketball wise,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: so it's like now when you you know, back on
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: TV again, people was like the yah, yeah they're crazy.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you I feel like I was talking to
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: worry about this off camera. I'm like, man, you are
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: probably more popular now than when you was playing basketball. Yeah,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And I feel like it's normally the opposite.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, like basketball now for the women
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: has gotten way more eyes than they were getting when
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I played, because I was popular as a basketball player.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: But in our realm, you know, because it's a whole different,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: different demographic reality element. Yeah, and then like the basketball world,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: and so it was a thing too, Like when I
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: was reading some of the comments, someone was like, yeah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: well you know who is she? I never even heard
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: of her before she did love a hip hop And
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I'm like, so, because you haven't heard of me, you
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: want to discredit my success and who I am because
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I could name some WNBA or NBA owners who you've
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: never heard of, and that ain't gonna take away from
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: him being a billionaire and him being successful, you know.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: So it's it's like a different, different graphic. And I
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: can always tell the difference when I'm out when someone
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: approaches me, whether they're a basketball support or our fan
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: or a reality TV support our fan.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you get to both sides of the story. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: y'all start reading them comments. Y'all tell y'alla stop reading
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: them comments. I get fulfillment because I got Rory is
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: gonna reply and he's gonna send very detailed reply.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I'm applying to these folks. Yeah, but sometimes someone needs
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: to get put in their place sessionally for sure, so
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: they don't feel like sometimes like bro people and then
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the personal DM you and be like, yo, I just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to get your attention. Listen to my music and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I'll be over here like that's all you could have did.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: But that's not how certain people. And I've learned what
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: it's called. It's called trolling.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: People definitely control.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: But I have learned from when I first, you know,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: did reality TV. I used to respond to everything, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: now I'm like, you just want attention. So now if
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: it's like negative and I see it, because I don't
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: see everything, but if it's negative and I see, I
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: block are Sometimes if I'm in the mood patrol and
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I got timed, then I controlled back too, like what's up?
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: You know that's what you want? You really want some
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: attention and then you want to apologize.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I hate when people do, but you know what, they
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: probably are so mad at they like that that is
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: probably the only fulfillment that they get. And said, look
• 27:38

• 32:30
  Speaker 3: me publicly?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Y'all haven't spoken.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: It's crazy because before that interview, I thought, you know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: we was cordial. I've seen her out with her Man's
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: and I sent them a drink. She said everything was cool,

• 32:56
  Speaker 3: interview first talking trash and it didn't get enough motion
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: behind it. So then they brought my ex on to,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: you know, to get it popping a little more.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: But and stuff like that doesn't bother you.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: You clean on that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I made a T shirt because for me, I'm going
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: to always elevate, I'm going to always get better. I'm
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: going to always make opportunities for myself, you know, And

  Speaker 1: Biography.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a biography you know, just growing up and then

• 37:46
  Speaker 3: going to do multiple books because I lived a cool
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: life and you know, I still got time. So I
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: feel like I might have a couple of thing. I'm
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: trying to do my thing a little bit.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: And before we go, you man, the jumper still there
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: because I saw you out there with I understand now
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: shooter shooter, Yeah, I saw you. You ain't missed. Yeah,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that was raw footage. That's not
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: clipped that together.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Nah, it was raw. And I haven't been in the
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: gym in a minute. But once you shoot, always a shooter.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Shooter shoot exactly.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: We shoot up out of here.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: But I got one more question before we shoot up
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: out of here.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Uh, do you feel like with the I guess with
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: the new generation of the w n B A and
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: and and the things have changed a lot. You know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: they're taking private planes and all these things that have changed.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: Do you feel like Kaylyn Clark had a lot to
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: do with the change of the w.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: N B A.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Kayln has brought a lot more, you know, notoriety to
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: the game, her and Angel, especially that college rivalry thing
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: they had going on. But flying Charter has already been
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: in the talks for the league. It's always been an
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: issue with travel. How we were traveling commercial in the
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: back of the plane. So I just feel like, you know,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: the right timing. I wouldn't say she's solely made that
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: change now, but she has brought a crazy fan base
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: and more eyes to the league, as well as the
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: other you know, new generational players.
