I really do miss playing basketball. I don't play a lot of pick-up games. But I do like using basketball as a form of cross training.

There are a lot of other people that really play a significant role in helping you become an Olympian.

I played four years at UCLA but I didn't think (women's) basketball was going anyplace at the time,

We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless.

It wasn't until I was 14 and watched the 1976 Olympic games on television that I really started to dream about the big time. I remember seeing Evelyn Ashford in the 100 meters, and she was going to UCLA.

Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track.
