To my far left, I got my dog Bishop B. Henn out the prayer list. How you doing, Nasty? Cool, Nasty. Let's party, baby. I did a blessing, you know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:01:52 And we'll better kick off this weekend. We got a special guest, you know what I'm saying, from Indiana. And you follow basketball, you should know who this young lady is.
Starting point is 00:01:59 She put in a lot of work, put banners on the wall, still getting buckets to this day. If you don't know who I'm talking about, Mr. Rike, Uncle Boale. Make some noise. What up, what up? I thought I was Indiana Finest, but man, what you did at Notre Dame, I got to chill out, huh? Yeah, go Irish, whoever said
Starting point is 00:02:21 that. Oh, go Irish. Okay, well now, I don't know if you're too familiar with our show, but we like to start off, you know what I'm saying, with a real good question. We know your basketball lineage is crazy. You know, when it comes down to clutch, you get it done. Which one was your favorite buzzer beater at Notre Dame? Of course, to win the championship. To win the championship?
Starting point is 00:02:39 Nah, to win the championship. I would say the UConn one was probably sweeter just because I never beat them, and you know the rivalry, but winning the championship is always the best. See, that's why I had to ask because I know the chip matters, but beating UConn is a big deal. Yeah, especially for Notre Dame. In my career, we never beat them.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Up to my junior year, we played them like twice a year. So to win that and then obviously to win the championship would be it. Absolutely. We got to start off, you know what I'm saying, where are you from again? Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yeah, I got Milwaukee ties. Man, they still owe me season tickets. I'm saying Where you from again? Milwaukee, Wisconsin Yeah, I got Milwaukee ties Man, they still owe me season tickets I'm trying to get back
Starting point is 00:03:09 I said some choice words about Milwaukee I said I was in a group project When we won a championship And ever since then They've been mad at me I ain't get to play So you feel me? But you from Milwaukee
Starting point is 00:03:19 I played there Milwaukee Indiana cold People don't know about it Indiana cold Milwaukee freezing It's freezing It's freezing It's freezing Yeah I played there in Milwaukee. Indiana cold. People don't know about it. Indiana cold. Milwaukee freezing. It's freezing. It's freezing.
Starting point is 00:03:27 It's freezing. Yeah. So how did you get from Milwaukee to Notre Dame? Just getting recruited. I mean, I kind of wanted to stay close. It's only like three hours away from home. But obviously, Notre Dame is Notre Dame, you know, a top five school in education and basketball. So it was kind of a no-brainer for me.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Now, when you got to Notre Dame, obviously you playing in a real conference, you know what I'm saying? Y'all dabbled a little bit. Who was your hardest matchup in college? Uh... Wake Forest. Definitely not Wake Forest. Definitely not Wake Forest.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I probably had to say either Louisville or... No, I probably had to say Louisville at the time. They had Agent of Dirt. Y'all know me on the show. Yeah, she was tough. A little right here. We sat there.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she was tough. I'll say Louisville. Now, piggyback on that. When you got to the W, you know what I'm saying? You ready? Top five pick.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Who was that first person to W? You was just like, oh, this different. Oh, she got a smile. Somebody went crazy. You worried. Somebody got active. You worried. Somebody got active. Nothing like that. It was just, honestly, there were so many players I didn't
Starting point is 00:04:30 know. I think that was the biggest surprise to me. You know the names. You know probably like five, six household names, but I'm like, everybody's cold. It don't matter if they came off the bench. Obviously, everybody was All-American and stuff, so everybody was cold. That's what surprised me. For you, when you first got to the league, who was that one person, like you said, wasn't a marquee name, but you was just like, oh, he cold. That's what surprised me. For you, when you first got to the league, who was that one person you said wasn't a marquee name,
Starting point is 00:04:45 but you were just like, oh, he cold? Gennaro Pargo was cold. Flip Murray was cold. Flip Murray. And then I remember TJ Ford played for the Pacers. He killed me, too. I came back home, thought I was going to have a good game. He came out and killed me.
Starting point is 00:05:01 My mom was all disappointed in the crowd. My high school coach was there. Everybody like, I played like five minutes. I'm waving on the court. No, I ain't getting in, but it was all good. Let the family down. Y'all let my lineage down. They ain't not the lineage.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Speaking of lineage, you know what I'm saying? Obviously you doing your thing. You got a brother playing for like, how was that for mom Dukes to have professional athletes in the family? She just make that call and get whatever she want. Yeah, right. Nah, it's definitely dope.
Starting point is 00:05:26 He played for the Texans. So, you know, just having two, you know, pro athletes in your family is tough. One, let alone two. So it's definitely dope to have that. You know a little something about having that duo. Yeah, my little brother made it to the NBA too. So it's always a blessing.
Starting point is 00:05:39 It's a dope thing. But football, your brother, definitely different. Nah, that's a different story. Yeah, that's different. I was going to ask who's the best athlete in the family, but I don't even want to disrespect that. Oh, me. Oh, it's like?
Starting point is 00:05:49 It's like football is different, but I'm still the best athlete. Y'all play 1-0-0 ever before? Yeah, but now we do. I can beat him. Back then, he actually used to beat me, but now. You're the best athlete in the family, though? Yeah. They would co-sign.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I'm not just talking. Oh, okay. She was a soccer, she played soccer, too. Yeah, I played soccer, too. Oh, that's probably why. that helps your hoop game a lot yeah and all that did you grow up playing soccer yeah my dad's nigerian so that was the first sport that he loved he was mad when we quit but i mean it worked out so so so no wonder why your footwork so nice on the court you got a cheek hole for real a lot of girls didn't grow up playing soccer. When'd you pick up the basketball, though?
Starting point is 00:06:26 Like three, four, same age. I was playing both of them. Okay, okay. You've been running with her ever since. What's your favorite basketball moment
Starting point is 00:06:35 that you're not a part of? Because obviously, I know that game winner for the chip is one, but what's your favorite basketball moment you're not a part of? I'll say the Bucs
Starting point is 00:06:42 last championship. Yeah. Man. Did you see me out there? Yeah, I see you. I see you cheering. You ain't see me. You lying.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I ain't never get in. I see you cheering. On the side. I did have some pom-poms. It's all good. Now, that was big for the city, though. Even though the after party
Starting point is 00:07:01 wasn't really what he expected. But listen, I got to see our after party. Our after party looked like that. No, for real. It was, yeah. It's not back there. It was like that.
Starting point is 00:07:12 No, we didn't have anything. The parade was dope though. The city came out for the parade. How was that reception like to win at Notre Dame? You know, Notre Dame got a cult following. No matter how good the football team is or ain't, they still ride. How was that feeling to put that banner up there
Starting point is 00:07:30 and to come back and get that energy you deserve? Yeah, I mean, it was dope. You know, the last, I think that was the second championship, so the last one was 2001. So, you know, for us to bring it back home and just be able to, you know, celebrate with the fans, like you said, it's a big football school, but it's a big basketball following too, so just being able to bring it back to the city was dope. Like you said, it's a big football school, but it's a big basketball following too.
Starting point is 00:07:46 So just be able to bring it back to the city was dope. Absolutely. Now I got to ask you about the W, like the way now the social media is and you guys are able to really be yourselves and market yourselves. How was that? Because you kind of came into the transition period in the W
Starting point is 00:07:57 when they were kind of like having to, not say strict rules, but they had guidelines. Now they're just like, no, we got to let y'all cook because y'all personality is just as important as what y'all can do on the court. How does it feel to be able to just express yourself and get buckets at the same time?
Starting point is 00:08:09 It's dope. I mean, we're like our own brand. You know, we express ourselves with the walk-in, tunnel fits. Like my rookie year on the weight trips, we wore like our travel gear.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Like it was nothing serious for now. Obviously, you know, we dressing up for away games, dressing up for home games. So it's definitely just outside the court, just a way to express yourself and, you know, be yourself. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, the tunnel fits. The W tunnel fits be far. No, they're hard. So you top five? Of course. Ooh. You top five? All right.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Who the top five in the tunnel fits for you? In the league right now? Yeah, in the W. I say... E-Weezy get fresh. Shout out to E-Weezy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I throw her in there.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Her, myself, I'll give Diamond the shoes. She got a nice style. Tasha Cloud. And I'll give Skylar. Skylar, shout out. Okay. Now, Skylar Versatile. So, yeah, Skylar Versatile.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I got a question for you. What's the best? This's a two-parter what's the best part of your game and what's something that you're looking for like to work on in the offseason
Starting point is 00:09:12 to prepare you for next season yeah I'd say the best part is I can get a bucket by myself you know I don't need a screen
Starting point is 00:09:19 I don't need ISO I can go ISO I can go ISO anytime and what I want this year is just a little bit more assists. I've been watching Jalen Brunson, Tyler Halliburton a lot.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I'm Tyler. Tyrese Halliburton. And I like their game. They score, but they do well with assists. And so, you know, I'm trying to work on that a little bit this year. Okay. Respect. Respect.
Starting point is 00:09:38 No, it's a real question, though. If you got in an NBA game, the W a real NBA game do you think you could score? Of course I could score I'm not saying I'm about to be dropping 20 but I can get a bucket
Starting point is 00:09:50 What's your average though? If you play the whole thing If I play the NBA? Yeah and you starting we giving you valuable minutes Like I'm playing like 30 30 minutes
Starting point is 00:09:58 30 we ain't subbing you Tips Yeah you getting tips I'm going to say six because I'm going to hit at least two threes
Starting point is 00:10:04 They don't hold D like that I'm going to be open at some point I'm not about to miss. Yeah, you get it. I'm going to say six because I'm going to hit at least two threes. They don't hold D like that. I'm going to be open at some point. I'm not about to miss it. I say at least six. So you're saying because they don't play defense. I'm going to be open. Now, if they in my face,
Starting point is 00:10:14 they... You know what? You know what my coaches are telling me? If they in my face, they about six five. What do you say? You open for a reason.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Nah, well, with that group, I might be open for a reason. Nah, respect. She averaged 20 in the league. Nah, I respect it. How many assists did you use No, I respect. She averaged 20 in the league. No, I see it, though. No, I respect it. How many assists would you use?
Starting point is 00:10:27 So you would be a pure point guard in the league? Oh, I would have to be. I would have to be. I probably average like five assists. Five, six. No, that's fair. That's fair. Five, six.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Six and six. Six and seven. Hard. No, no, no. We got an 80 million for you. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what they get now. Six and seven.
Starting point is 00:10:41 They get 80. I got to get these knees back up. I didn't feel you. Nah, for sure. How was it, like, obviously, with you being an insane legend now, to see, like, the different runs? You see South Carolina going crazy. You see Kayla Clark going crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Like, how proud of you is, like, the way that they're embracing the game of women's basketball? Because I've always said on this podcast, the last five, maybe six years, the women's Final Four has been way better than the men's. Sure. Even with the lack of coverage for it, now we're starting to get more coverage. How do you feel like the game is evolving?
Starting point is 00:11:12 Are you happy with that? Yeah, I mean, just watching it, like, you know, women's basketball is becoming more in the household. Like, I was at the airport, someone was like, you watching Caitlyn break the record tonight? It's like random people on an airplane. Like, so it's just like, it's getting huge.
Starting point is 00:11:26 And as it should, it's great basketball. And I think people are kind of finally tuning in, the media covering it, which is helping. All we needed was media coverage so people can tune in. So it's just going to keep getting better. Absolutely. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners

Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
Starting point is 00:12:02 This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.

Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's your favorite? Oh, go ahead. I was just going to say, what was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome leaving college and entering the WNBA? What was your biggest challenge?
Starting point is 00:12:52 I say mentally. Physically I felt good. I felt strong, but I just say basketball IQ for WNBA because you're 22 going into a league of people that's 35, 36, 40. They know the game. They know the ins and outs. So, picking up on, like, the basketball IQs was hard. And not hard. It was just tough.
Starting point is 00:13:10 It was definitely a learning process. Is people in your league at 40? I mean, Diana's still playing. She? She 40? She got to be. 39. She's at least 39, 40.
Starting point is 00:13:17 So, she LeBron. She been growing with us. Yeah. Dang. She been around for a minute. She damn near played when I did the first tip-off.

Starting point is 00:13:32 Cynthia Cooper and them. She played against Cheryl Swoops? She did. I mean, but not the first tip-off. I know, I was just talking crazy. She been around. She started off with Cheryl Miller.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I think it's her 20th year, so that's almost first tip-off. Nah, that's amazing, though. 20 years. She gotta be top five ever. Nah, she's her 20th year, so that's almost first tip. Now, that's amazing, though. Yeah. She got to be top five, baby. Nah, she's leading the score. And nobody's going to break it because ain't nobody playing until about 21.

Starting point is 00:16:16 I feel like Maya Moore does not get the credit she deserves because Maya Moore went crazy before social media was really, really popping. I feel like if she was playing in this era now, it would be even more crazy. Who do you feel like is probably your GOAT in the WNBA? My GOAT? It's your personal opinion.

But Steph Curry, you know, he got something in his hand. God put something in his hand. They should make them shoot further back, though.. She got a burner. But Steph Curry, you know, he got something in his hand. God put something in his hand. They should make them shoot further back, though. Get them off the line.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Push them back a few feet. Both of them. Yeah, they both volleyball line. They need to shoot four-pointers. I got a question, though. Who's the underrated player in the WNBA that don't get spoke on that you think should get some more love? Mitchell. Kelsey Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You know, with the fever. She's so tough. She's so underrated. She's so tough. She's so tough. Okay. Kelsey Mitchell. You know, with the fever. Shout out to Kelsey. She's so underrated. She's so tough. She's so tough. Okay. All right. You don't like nothing in the end.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Oh, you don't like that? I thought she was going to say somebody else. Like who? Respect. No, I'm just saying. Yeah, anybody else. I'm not really a... Anybody else.
Starting point is 00:18:59 He got me in trouble with the fever because he made up a story. Like, I went to a fever... I'm going to just share it Like I went to a fever. I'm going to just, I'm going to just share it. I went to a fever game and it was, you know, it was about this many people in there.
Starting point is 00:19:12 And no, no, no, but I'm saying though, and, and I, my cousin was like right where the Hennessy bar is. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:19:20 you know, cause he's like, what you want to eat? I'm just like some, some tenders. Give me some chicken tutters. And they thought it was so funny, but I'm like, bro, it cuz, he's like, what you want to eat? I'm just like, some tenders. Give me some chicken tenders. And they thought it was so funny. But I'm like, bro, it wasn't nobody at the game.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Like, so I could really just talk to him. I'm like, why? He's not telling a story. No, I ain't. No, that is a story, though. It's the Hennessy version. He said, okay, you know, there's two sides of the court. He's on that side.
Starting point is 00:19:39 His cousin on this side. He said, hey, yo, give me some tenders. Basically, in the middle of the game. No, this is coming around to say, like, what can we do to push that, like, more people into the game of the WNBA? Well, fever attendance is definitely better than when you went, I think. No, it is. The last year we just played there, they had fans every game.
Starting point is 00:20:03 So that's been changing. But I think it's just the media coverage. Like, people don't know what they don't see. So if you got it where you can turn the TV on, go to ESPN, go to whatever channel and see a game, they're going to watch it because it's good. So I just say, like, coverage and exposure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:16 So, all right, we got a couple minutes. We're going to open up to the crowd. Anybody got any questions? Dang, tough crowd. Tough crowd. The Hennessy kicked in. Yeah. Oh, everybody a little buzzed.

Starting point is 00:20:44 Nobody, honestly. Hey, what's up, Enrique? What's up? When you were growing up, who did you model your game after? Nobody, honestly.
