BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population.

It brings back memories, but I think that it's sort of like the changing of the guard ... I think that Candace is talented enough, smart enough and pretty enough to carry that torch and that weight. For me, it's just really a blessing that I'm still young enough to be able to play with her, yet old enough to be the mom of the team — literally and figuratively. 
Right now, it's about getting respect for women's basketball, and to continue to take steps forward and make it so that my daughter has the same opportunities that my son has in the future
Deanna Nolan might be the best guard in the league because of her all-around game offensively and defensively. Katie Smith should be the Defensive Player of the Year and could guard Lisa Leslie if she has to. You saw (in Game 3) why we drafted (Alexis) Hornbuckle. Great presence. I have the best staff in the league
We know Lisa (Leslie) is their go-to player. I've been playing against Lisa for 10 years since I've been in this league. She's a hard challenge so I just try an outwork her. I just have to make her think more. We have many great scorers on this team, so you need someone who is going to sacrifice something and not think about the points just think about the team.

I enjoyed this off time because we really got a chance to do work with our post and perimeter players ... It gave us a chance to reorganize ourselves and get some of our role players to really break down our offense.
