Since I was drafted to Detroit, I have heard from numerous people that I am a replica (but nicer version) of my coach—Bill Laimbeer. As my back to the basket days of college seem a distant memory, I contemplate the question at hand . . “am I the ‘Bill Laimbeer’ of the current Bad Girls of Detroit?”

Well, you be the judge on this one. I would argue that I am a little too nice to be that BAD We are both stubborn, strong-willed people who will do just about anything the teams needs in order to win. I could probably use some of his toughness, just like he could probably use some of my compassion. Coach has allowed me to expand my game to a role I never even considered myself in. If there is any way I truly want to be like coach, it would be to have that second championship in Detroit!!!
