I've chosen my wedding ring large and heavy to continue forever. But exactly because of that all the time that Dave and I have an argument I feel it like handcuffs and on anger time I throw it in a basket. Poor Dave he bought me three wedding rings already!

To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now.

I was about 14 and my friend's stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son - who was more into basketball - didn't want to. It was amazing and I still remember the time I got: 48:23.

Growing up I looked up to major league baseball players and now these young women have amazing incredible women all across the board from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball.

If you're a basketball player and you don't stop and take pictures with your fans you can have an amazing game and everyone still loves you.

In 1981 at age 31 I was voted the best player in basketball and the most valuable player in the league.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

I wanted to do two things when I was growing up about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over and that is what I am doing now.
