There are certain guys in the league that get their rhythm off their dribble.

In the NBA, there's always a guy who is only around because he can jump. He doesn't have a clue about the fundamentals. I learn more from the WNBA. They know how to dribble, how to pivot, how to use the shot fake.

Think about the deflections. The offense can't score every play. They're just trying to get a good shot. If I can deflect a pass, even if it doesn't cause a turnover, it will throw their timing off half-a-second. That half-a-second might mess up their shot.

Four-men aren't used to picking up guys pushing the ball in transition. Let alone, somebody getting the rebound and just busting.

I was always taught, even as a kid, playing against grown men, you get better.

You don't contest shots without expending energy. You don't get deflections - unless you walk into one every now and then - without expending energy. These are the things in basketball you have to really want to do.
