00:00:36
Speaker 2: What was that?

00:00:37
Speaker 4: Like?

00:00:38
Speaker 2: That was exciting. I'm like really wondering, how is he gonna play this year? You know? I mean you can. I want you to have a great season, but not too good.

00:00:46
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, like I'm waiting for another national championship, but if you know, if you want to go post.

00:00:55
Speaker 2: Pop two, that'd be really cool. I don't like I haven't saying any of that. How'd you get chosen to represent your team?

00:01:05
Speaker 5: I was actually already in LA rehabbing my knee, and I've kind of just been around all off season. I've been kind of like the only one there, me and are video person. We've kind of been joking around, like I wonder if everyone's kind of sick of me.

00:01:19
Speaker 2: Like I've been the only person kind of in Seattle.

00:01:22
Speaker 5: So I'm just doing all the media and pr just been bored and just felt right to do the draft lottery.

00:01:27
Speaker 2: Okay, we're looking very stylish. It definitely work. Thank you. Let's talk about your fit. Yeah, I've been name dropping her all for the last twenty four hours.

00:01:37
Speaker 5: But uh, a friend of mine, Sasha Kolbe, I was freaking out because they asked me to do the lottery last second, and I was like, oh, I'm packing to like go to Turkey and trying to get ready to go overseas, so I'm already stressed out of my mind and I was like, now I have to find an outfit for this thing.

00:01:52
Speaker 2: And she was like, just come over, I have five million things you can wear. Wait, that's amazing. And you looked great than you do you always thank you well? She did me right. I don't think anyone can look bad in the Sasha Colby fit, so you better go ahead, you big Sasha up. Did you actually do your own makeup? I did.

00:02:14
Speaker 5: I got touched up a little bit, like I didn't do my own lashes and stuff. And then one of the makeup artists there gave me like a little hint on how to do like a little tip on how to do my blush.

00:02:22
Speaker 2: Your makeup looked so good. I was impressed. Thank you. Wait drop the tip help them?

00:02:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know that's like the new trend now is everyone trying to do blush. And I was like, I can't get it right, and she's like, girl, you're using the wrong color. But I've been doing my makeup myself forever. I did it for like draft day, I've done it for like any event. I don't do it for like a lot of photo shoots because they usually have like a specific thing.

00:02:43
Speaker 2: They want, But any kind of event, I usually do my own.

00:02:46
Speaker 3: Wait, draft day, like when you were drafted back in twenty eighteen.

00:02:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let's break down the lottery.

00:02:53
Speaker 3: Number one Dallas obviously bringing with page, new coach, new facility, exciting, like I have no notes, it's all right. Number two Minnesota, I feel like Yukon is everywhere every single team there's a Yukon player fee, obviously leading the charge over for number two, and then Seattle number three. Any what do you gotta say, how are you feeling about number three?

00:03:23
Speaker 5: Like I said, now, No, Honestly, I was really happy with top three. I was like, Okay, as long as we get top three, maybe it'll just be a sign that I'm not like bad luck for the Storm at least. But this draft class is so talented, I think the most talented that we've seen in a really long time as far as just like depth, you know, And so I think all the lottery picks everyone's going to kind of be a steal.

00:03:54
Speaker 2: There's a competition out there, all right. Anyway, it's enough draft drop, yabby. How are you enjoying your off season? It's been fun. This is my first kind of off season in three years.

00:04:08
Speaker 5: For the last three years, I've just been constant, go go, go, like just go from one team overseas to national teams w NBA. But I really just needed it health wise, and this is kind of like the best physically I've felt in a really long time and mentally honestly, So it's been really nice just to like, yeah, reset.

00:04:23
Speaker 1: That's amazing. So what was the first thing you did when the w season ended. Did you have a fun trip plan? Did you have like anything just to reset and relax and unwind.

00:04:32
Speaker 5: I kind of like went into what is it called like I went to a coma.

00:04:36
Speaker 2: I don't know if coma strive work, but I just kind of like.

00:04:40
Speaker 4: She hibernated you guys, Yen, that's a better word. That's no. I also just woke up hibernated as a better word. I like turned my phone off.

00:04:53
Speaker 5: I was not responding to any messages, any calls. I was just like in my apartment. I just slept and kind of yeah, I just needed to rest, I was. I had no trips planned, I had nothing but just like rest and relaxation planned.

00:05:07
Speaker 2: Good to Ezy. You know about that. No phone, no text, no nothing. Yeah that's me most days, not just post season. My friends are like, you hate me? What happened? I was like, no, I just I cannot respond to anything right now, Gabby.

00:05:23
Speaker 1: I also saw that you recently met Adam Sandler. He is one of my favorite actors.

00:05:28
Speaker 2: What was that? Like? He's even sweeter and nicer than you can imagine.

00:05:33
Speaker 5: I was like so happy that he was just as good of a person as we all imagine him to be.

00:05:37
Speaker 2: Obviously, I don't know him.

00:05:39
Speaker 5: Personally, like I only spent that kind of one day with him, but I mean he invited us to his show, took us backstage talk to us.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: He's just he was just so normal and easy to talk to.

00:05:48
Speaker 5: And I was just like, oh, I'm just glad you're exactly how I would imagine you to be, just like so sweet and personable. And he just he was traveling with all his friends too, like Nick Roll and David Spade and Rob Schneider like every but he was there, Kevin Spade and there were That's incredible sweet.

00:06:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's amazing. That is so cool. I want to meet him so bad. I'm sure you will.

00:06:09
Speaker 5: He literally just every city he goes to you he just finds a gym to just go hoop in. Apparently one day.

00:06:16
Speaker 3: I feel like he's always so random, like it'll be a bunch of like Hoopers pro Hooper sometimes and then it's like Adam Sandler.

00:06:25
Speaker 2: Oh Miam was laughing.

00:06:27
Speaker 5: She was like because it was me, Adam Sandler and Jamal Crawford on a team, and she was like, that sounds like the beginning of a joke, like.

00:06:35
Speaker 2: Sander walk into a bar like so Gabby.

00:06:40
Speaker 3: The fans on social media have been referring to you as evil Asy. Asy seems to support this. Why do you posted all TikTok? I do feel about that.

00:06:52
Speaker 2: I love it. I honestly love it. I liking the evil one too, don't. I don't think Marien loves being the evil paid, but I do love being evil easy.

00:07:03
Speaker 1: Wait, I don't where that start. I don't know where it started, but it had me dying the.

00:07:08
Speaker 2: First time I saw. I don't know if it's how it started.

00:07:10
Speaker 5: Was Colleen actually a manager from your com shout out to Colleen.

00:07:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, she shot up screen. Yeah, shout out Colleen.

00:07:17
Speaker 5: She sent me a screenshot of like the Evil page Street and I was cracking up. And she works for the Storm now and she like we were. She just showed us for the next day and she was like this is hilarious. I'm gonna start calling her this so.

00:07:29
Speaker 1: Well, those people are so like creative and just I don't know a lot of stuff they say, yes.

00:07:35
Speaker 2: Say funny.

00:07:36
Speaker 6: It's not a pocket, not a pocket very much. So let's talk about your youth and your upbringing. So all of us are multi sport athletes. Gabby, you used to high jump.

00:07:48
Speaker 3: You talk about your high jumping experience and what like that brings or teaches you about basketball.

00:07:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I was younger, I always just wanted to try a different sport outside of basketball, and that was like a big known and my family, and I was finally just like track, It's like, Okay, this one, I think I can just get away with.

00:08:06
Speaker 2: It was really just for fun and just to like do something.

00:08:09
Speaker 5: I think I had tried it in like Pe one time in middle school, and yeah, I just found a passion for it. It was fun because like your biggest competitors kind of yourself, you know, you're just always trying to best yourself, and I think that like translated to the basketball side of things. It made me love like working out on my own a bit more, which I wasn't really doing before I was high jumping. But yeah, just kind of like learning how to be your biggest motivator, be your biggest kind of reason and just kind of always just like focusing on yourself and how going to be a better version of me.

00:08:41
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna spire your girl. Azy. You played flag football?

00:08:47
Speaker 3: How did some of the things from flag football translate for you in basketball?

00:08:51
Speaker 1: Well? I also ran track, go like leading up into I guess my sophomore year was the last year I did it. Because then I got hurt and then it was COVID. It's like my last year. I didn't get to but I would agree with everything Gabby just said. But it also made me because it was such like an individualized as much as it was a team sport like I did relays, it is very individualized. So it made me appreciate when I played basketball and had all my teammates because they just make it so much more fun. Wait, Gabby, what other events did you do? I did the heptathlon, so it's like the seven event.

00:09:23
Speaker 2: Liked.

00:09:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, and I was also a hurtler. Yeah, oh wow, Yeah, I agree with you too. That I did make me appreciate my teammates more. I was like, okay, I missed the because I was in college. I was between track and basketball, and I was like, okay, I'm glad I got to enjoy college, especially like in a team atmosphere.

00:09:44
Speaker 1: I did high jump in middle school and then I lost all of my buddies. So yeah, yes, that's not true that like eight rebounds this last game, you know, okay, career high Okay, we're going to make that a normal though.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: Just wait, I love it. We will be holding you accountable.

00:10:12
Speaker 1: So, Gabby, you trey your ACL in high school and came back even stronger. What helped you get through that mentally?

00:10:18
Speaker 5: Again, I think it was like, Okay, now I get to I was focused just like on the process. I think I had a really good trainer with me luckily, and I just that became like my new competition and like that became my new way to kind of get my competitiveness out since I wasn't, you know, playing sports. But just like, Okay, I'm going to get two degrees better today, or I'm going to get a little bit stronger today, or get a little bit faster on like the ladder of the cones, and so kind of yeah, made me enjoy the process of just like working out and training and getting better and learning things about my body. And I think it helped me kind of today and has that me has it allowed me to stay to stay like as athletic because I've gotten to learn all these things so young about like what it takes the workout to keep your body healthy, like just maintenance. I'm sure like you can relate having like so many injuries so young. You learn these things a lot earlier than like most pro athletes too.

00:11:13
Speaker 1: Mm, that's a great mindset to have, makes it easier.

00:11:17
Speaker 5: Well you kind of, I'm sure you know, like you're kind of forced to have this mindset too.

00:11:22
Speaker 2: I want to know.

00:11:22
Speaker 3: Okay, so that was high school and then you ended up at Yukon. I want to know what your recruitment process was like and then why you chose Yukon.

00:11:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:11:31
Speaker 5: I was being very stubborn about track for the longest, and I was dead set on doing both for a really long time. I think the only school that had said that didn't accept it was Oregon because their track program is like so so serious.

00:11:47
Speaker 2: But even like Yukon, even coaches ready for me to do both.

00:11:50
Speaker 5: When I came on my visit, I met with like the high jump coach and coach or Emma, and then I tore my ACL again and had to miss track season, and so I had to two years out track, And it just kind of naturally happened that I was can only do basketball.

00:12:05
Speaker 1: Wait, that's really cool that he was gonna let you do both. I definitely would have ye not guessed that.

00:12:12
Speaker 2: Everybody was shocked.

00:12:13
Speaker 5: Even we were shocked because we were like, Okay, that'll kind of make the recruitment process easier because we'll eliminate like more schools that way.

00:12:20
Speaker 2: But everyone was like kind of cool with it. Coaches, Yeah, he was cool with it.

00:12:25
Speaker 5: But I think he was very very happy when I went to the basketball only round.

00:12:29
Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, that probably wasn't.

00:12:31
Speaker 1: Gonna work, but for sure, Yeah, it worked out how it was supposed to.

00:12:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.

00:12:36
Speaker 5: Think he knew deep down that I was only going to be basketball once I got to Yukon.

00:12:41
Speaker 1: If you had any energy left to go through a whole track season after bastal season, I don't.

00:12:47
Speaker 2: I don't know how you would have done it. Yeah, and I think coach knew that. I think coach knew that HO was being over ambitious. I feel like track is safe if you think about it.

00:12:56
Speaker 3: It's not contact, not likely to you know, get her compared to other sports, so they're probably more likely to let you do something like that, and you're going to be a shame. So it translates hopefully to the court. That's a great point. Actually, Yeah, I mean, if you wanted to join the wrestling team or something, he's probably not He's probably not gonna go for that, right, Gabby, You were known for your defense WBCA Defensive Player of the Year.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: What's the mindset that made you so elite on that end?

00:13:27
Speaker 5: I think I didn't realize how good of a defender I should have been until I got to Yukon, because I was humbled, obviously, as you are when you come to Yukon. And obviously I was a good defender in high school just because I was more athletic than people, but I wasn't really you know, focused on defense, and that Yukon, I was like, Okay, this is actually what's going to get me playing time, like I did not expect coming into Yukon, and like rebounding and defense is going to be what got me playing time.

00:13:57
Speaker 2: Like those are things I never ever focused on growing up.

00:14:00
Speaker 5: So I was like, okay, well, if I want to get in the court, I need to really like dive into these things, or you know, like I need to I need to find a reason for coach put me on the court.

00:14:08
Speaker 2: And that was kind of it. No, no's right, and he still says stuff like that too, so it's very true. Oh really, I'm not surprised.

00:14:19
Speaker 1: You're also only one of five players in Yukon history with a triple double. What was going through your mind that game, Like did did you think you were going to get that?

00:14:28
Speaker 2: Was that? I don't know, I can't even get a double double? You were so close. Yeah, you're close. I'm not surprised.

00:14:37
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's hard at Yukon because you never know when you're going to play forty minutes or seventeen because you're up by you know, a lot.

00:14:47
Speaker 2: And I think.

00:14:51
Speaker 5: Thanks to you know, the excellence that we have at Yukon, we don't have to play thirty something minutes a game, and so you never when you're going to have like these games where it's close enough that you're going to be in that much, you know, to kind of then you know how it is like you're not all focused on individual accolades when you're there, also because you are winning most games by like twenty thirty points and also it's just like not important at all like when you're there.

00:15:17
Speaker 2: But I do think that Coach likes.

00:15:21
Speaker 5: Allowing us to get these kinds of little achievements as well, because you knows how important it is and how much it means to like our legacies and how special those moments are to like celebrate with your teammates but I remember, like, the thing I remember the most is just that the bench going crazy, And I think that's the thing I missed the most about playing for Yukon is just like, yeah, the energy and excitement from your teammates and just how everyone hypes everybody up all the time. It's just something that like, I haven't had since Yukon, And I think Yukon is the only school that I really see hyping.

00:15:52
Speaker 2: You know, how important the bench.

00:15:52
Speaker 5: Culture is and just like the team cultures that Yukon so you just don't see that anywhere else in college or and pro.

00:15:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really individualized accolades, any of that is so not important here. I think that makes just the environment that much more special. Yeah, when you can share everything.

00:16:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, those bench celebrations go crazy. Yeah you went from six player of the year to a starter leading the team. What kept you patient and motivated while you were waiting for your moment?

00:16:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said earlier, any kind of playing time on the court, I was always like very thankful for, especially in those early years, getting six Player of the year.

00:16:35
Speaker 2: I think I was a freshman, a freshman sophomore, but I remember.

00:16:38
Speaker 5: Just not expecting it at all because if I was barely getting any playing time at the beginning of the year, like I needed to get humbled when I got there and learn what it really meant to be, like, you know, just disciplined, I guess is the word. And so again, yeah, getting your that's not why you're like doing those things, but when you get those kind of individual accolades, it does feel really good in that Yukon environment because it's like everything is so difficult and hard and you're in such a pressure cooker. So it's like, oh, okay, like I am I am able to thrive in this environment, you know, like because you're he has to kind of beat you down before he builds you back up. And I think getting like those little accoletes just him building you back up, getting playing time, showing that he has trusted me, showing myself that I can trust myself, and to yeah start a role and.

00:17:27
Speaker 2: Having more responsibilities. That's beautiful, h for sure. So while you're at Yukon, you played with.

00:17:44
Speaker 1: I mean some Yukon grades in general basketball grades, you're there with Suwie lou Fi. What did you learn from being able to play with them and just yeah having them with you?

00:17:56
Speaker 5: I think just I had to learn what it meant to be like a great teammate, especially and see that kind of these players who I thought could do no wrong, who I thought were like the most talented and skilled basketball players I'd ever seen, But watching how they were equally just as great teammates, I think was huge for me. It's just like, okay, because then in your pro career and even at Yukon, you come across amazing players, but they don't quite succeed or they don't become winners because they don't have the teammate aspect as well to watching. Like I mean, everyone I've played with is still some of my best friends, some of my sisters, even like ten years later. And yeah, I just realized realizing how important that aspect of being an all time great is.

00:18:44
Speaker 2: I love huh.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: I feel like you have such a unique experience at Yukon, and that would make sense why you guys bond the way you do, and then ten plus years later, you guys still are connected.

00:18:56
Speaker 2: Like all the things I've heard, there's no place like it.

00:19:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very easy to connect with Yukon players because like you said, there's you just instantly, no kind of put that that person's gone through already, and you also share very similar unique experiences that.

00:19:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also I mean he recruits certain kinds of people.

00:19:19
Speaker 5: He recruits good people too, so it's very easy to connect with Yukon people.

00:19:23
Speaker 2: Yes.

00:19:24
Speaker 3: Coach Gino, as we mentioned, is known for pushing players hard. Do you have any fun Coach Gino or interesting Coach Gino stories?

00:19:33
Speaker 5: I don't know you can say, but I can say, or it could be a CD story.

00:19:44
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of CD stories.

00:19:45
Speaker 5: I remember, I remember trying to I'm so like kind of traumatized by this, like I think about it my heights, which is like I remember, like there's always moments where you had to challenge coach too, you know, like he wanted sometimes he wanted it to be kind of us versus him, Like he wanted us to come together. He wanted us to like not always just yeah, kind of lay down and take whatever. Remember my senior year, we were having like a very rough stretch. We're still winning games, but it just that doesn't matter that you gone like whatever. And we were doing a drill where he would like yank a practice player off because he was like, you can't play five on five okay, play five on four and then we would turn the ball over, so okay, play five on three, you know, and those were sometimes those were moments where coach would like want to challenge you. You know, I got that moment completely wrong. It was not the time to challenge coach. And I was actually usually like okay with it. So I think we got down to like five on two and I was like, no, come on, like Pete Ryan, I was calling the practice players. I was like, no, we can do it, like go five on five and I was like, come on, like, guys, get our shit together.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: And now he started like yelling at my teammates. I was like, get our shit together. We're gonna five and five. We're gonna do this. And I was thinking coach is gonna be like, yeah, gab, that's it. He goes, what hell?

00:21:06
Speaker 5: And this is my senior year too, and like you kind of trusted me, like in this moment. He was usually allowing me to challenge him in these kinds of things and like fight back.

00:21:15
Speaker 2: It was not the moment. Yeah, and he was like, who do you think you are? I'm on too, Like I was like, oh, I was like sorry, everybody. I just pissed him off more hopes.

00:21:34
Speaker 1: That's so funny because I feel like it is very hit or miss, Like it's hard to read that fine line of like oh he wants you to stand up to him, or like okay, actually listen to him this time.

00:21:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was that the moment that is so funny.

00:21:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not even gonna tell much, right, Okay, Yeah that's definitely not your story.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: Okay, what am I going to ask?

00:22:04
Speaker 4: Now?

00:22:07
Speaker 2: What was?

00:22:07
Speaker 1: So? What would you say your senior year was like preparing for that transition to the w Like what do you think helped you the most?

00:22:13
Speaker 2: And what tips would you give me?

00:22:17
Speaker 5: I remember when saying like how they want to recruit Yukon kids because they're already like pretty pro ready. I remember, like we were talking, we're talking with Tipage about this at all start just like how different it is, just like phones in the locker room. They're not running to a timeout, but like walking during warm ups when you become pro, just like all those little things that are so weird to kind of u Kon kids at first. So I guess like the tips I would give you is just to like keep those as long as you possibly can, because they do make a huge difference.

00:22:48
Speaker 2: And we're talking to like Sue.

00:22:49
Speaker 5: About this on her podcast about how last year during the Olympics, I finally had time to like be in training camp a long time with the national team, and I was like, you know, I'm going to treat this like I I was treated at Yukon.

00:23:02
Speaker 2: I was like, if you're on the sideline, you're gonna clap.

00:23:03
Speaker 5: I remember even like yelling at our coaches because our coaches were like not paying attention during practice. I was like, clap, like we're spreading sprints, Like you need to be just as engaged as we are. I was young at my teammates, like you know, like you need to touch hands when you get off the sideline or whatever.

00:23:18
Speaker 2: Everyone needs to be talking. Everyone needs to be this.

00:23:21
Speaker 5: And I think it like really paid off and just seeing how just a little like an ounce of Yukon culture can go a long way. I think it's allowed me to to just have like a long career as well. Professionally, I think this, yeah, your eight and I think it's yeah, it's allowed me to stay on the league. It's allowed me to get contracts just like keeping just these little Yukon nuances as long as I can.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Doing the little things the right way go along. Yeah, they really do.

00:23:45
Speaker 5: And you'll see when you go pro that it's not instilled in everyone the way you might think it is.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: So keep that as long as you can.

00:23:53
Speaker 1: Coach reminds us all the time that we are in a bubble here and no other program in college outside of college is like this, And I think that it's just something that we don't really realize until we're thrown into whatever environment we're in next, just because that's the standard here.

00:24:09
Speaker 2: It's what we're used to. Yeah, you know, nothing else but that I love that you brought that to your national team. That's so cool.

00:24:16
Speaker 5: Tried try too, try my best. I mean it's it's you know, he's been doing it for forty years. Like it's not something that you do overnight. But like I said, if I could just bring a little bit to it, I think it goes such a long way.

00:24:27
Speaker 2: So let's talk now a little bit about your w NBA.

00:24:31
Speaker 3: Like you're preparing to go into the drafts, right those weeks are those nights leading up to that?

00:24:38
Speaker 2: Can you talk to us a little bit about that process? Weeks? I got like four days. Yeah, my bad, My bad, My bad. Girls who played to April.

00:24:52
Speaker 3: So the couple of days leading up to the draft that you have what it.

00:24:56
Speaker 2: Was hard because that year we had lost on another over time.

00:25:00
Speaker 5: I'm a freaking buzzer reader, and I remember just like, yeah, it was kind of like an out of body experience, just like, Okay, you come to a realization that you've just played your last Yukon game that you ended on in l which is the worst feeling ever. And I remember just like feeling kind of weird before the draft, just like, okay, it's over. Like I don't know, I just wasn't quite ready for the next step in that way.

00:25:29
Speaker 2: But as soon as.

00:25:32
Speaker 5: You know, I started looking at outfits, you started getting We didn't have nils, you know, back then, so it was like, oh, I started getting like kind of freethings.

00:25:40
Speaker 2: I started getting like some jewelry for the draft.

00:25:43
Speaker 5: I'd had my agent and started seeing like how cool life could look like as a pro in just like a few days, you know, like having an agent and then doing all these things in writing family out and having your alph already, picking a stylist, having your hair done Like I'd never you never had these things for you con because they were all illegal, and then I was like, okay, like you see the you see the light at the end of the tunnel, like oh, like okay, my life's going to be a kind of more fun. Not more fun, but like you said to see, like everything that you've worked for just in like that quick weekend.

00:26:18
Speaker 2: What was your welcome to the W moment?

00:26:20
Speaker 5: My More scored a five million points on me when I was playing in Chicago.

00:26:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had never I mean, that's kind of cool about this. I was gonna say legendary, legendary.

00:26:34
Speaker 5: I get well, I would it was welcome to the W moment because that first half I felt like we were guarding her pretty well, and I was like, okay, I can guard my More, Like hell yeah. As soon as I said that to myself, yeah, like it was just step back three, like buoying me to the basket, just taking my ankles from me. Just everything she did on me, she knows had twelve highlights and they're all on me, Like she could have had a whole end one mixtape and it was just willing oh no, and yeah, because the first half, I remember she kind of struggled in the second half. She I think she alterally scored like twenty something in the second half and finished with thirty something, And I was like, never think that you've figured you figure someone out.

00:27:17
Speaker 3: My more so, you remember what it's like being a rookie.

00:27:22
Speaker 2: What advice would you give a z when she gets to her rookie year. Uh?

00:27:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said, just don't lose a lot of the things that have been installed in you at Yukon, like they're gonna they're gonna go a long way, I remember. I mean, I'm not sure where you're gonna land, but when you're a lottery takes more than likely you're gonna land on a team that's not used to like winning as much and it's gonna be like it was definitely a culture shock for me, just like everyone was so okay with losing, which was so weird. And I would say, like, don't fall into that for sure. If I mean, unless you go number three and end up just somewhere.

00:28:00
Speaker 2: That's not I know.

00:28:03
Speaker 5: But if you got anywhere else, you happen to go to a team that's you know, not really fending for playoffs, do not let like that mindset contaminate you. I guess or like be contagious. Uh, because it can be very easy to just like fall into that.

00:28:21
Speaker 1: Well, how did you find that middle ground of like not being okay with losing, but not holding onto those losses because you guys have such a like quick turnaround the games.

00:28:29
Speaker 2: You can't be so upset about those last three losses.

00:28:33
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:28:34
Speaker 5: Well, it was like it was the pace was a lot slower when I first came into the league. We weren't playing like as many games as we play now and we're still like flying commercials, So you weren't you know, you couldn't have the back to backs and stuff. I remember just like trying to keep my head above water my rookie year. No one had any idea what to do with me, Like, I mean, coach had used me in such a specific way to Yukon. That kind of worked only at Yukon because of like the way you ran offense way everyone was just like read each other and played off each other. That that wasn't really going to like translate to a WNBA team that wasn't as used to playing together, wasn't as disciplined, and so I remember just like trying to keep my head afloat and the wins and losses were just like, yeah, it seems very clear that no one was like set on making playoffs too, which was weird. I was just like, Okay, I don't think anyone really cares if we don't make playoffs, which was weird.

00:29:30
Speaker 2: I was like, y'all are mad about this, Like no, it's upset.

00:29:34
Speaker 5: So I just were just trying to keep my head above water and just like figure things out myself.

00:29:47
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've talked a little bit, or you've talked a little bit about playing for a national team. How did you decide to play for the French national team instead of the US team.

00:29:55
Speaker 5: I remember in college someone brought it up up to me.

00:30:01
Speaker 2: It was like a shot. I don't want to say who it is. Someone brought someone brought it up to me.

00:30:08
Speaker 5: I remember I was taking like a French history course or something, and she was like, wait, are you French? Like because I was like, yeah, you can speak French, blah blah blah. She's like, you do have a like you have dual citizenship. And I was like, oh, I guess I never really thought about even like pursuing it, and so they put in my head and then I just reached out to the national team and they're like, oh, yeah, you could totally play, like with your heritage and stuff. But at that time they weren't really like feeling me yet, and so because I was still in college, I think they were just kind of like, who is this because I remember like watching the Olympics in twenty twelve and like knowing and at that time I was with spending a lot of time with my grandma. It was French, so I was pretty like, you know, in tuned in my French culture at that point, and I was like, Okay, that just kind of I didn't know it was possible, So I was kind of just like fantasizing about it, you know, just like Wow, what if I played for France? But I never thought that it was something that could actually become real. I thought it would have I thought I would just have to go to the USA route. And once I learned that it was kind of possible, yeah, I reached out and they didn't really hit me back for years, honestly, like they we had we would have like conversations because I was playing in France too. I'd met the national team coach, like introduced myself. She came to like one of our games. I talked to a few people from the federation. I thought about like going to three on three route, and they were interested, and they weren't, and then they're interested and they weren't, and then I ended up having like a great season in EuroLeague to.

00:31:37
Speaker 2: The point where like they couldn't deny me anymore.

00:31:40
Speaker 5: I guess like it became a topic of like you know, they'd be asking me, like, why isn't Gabby on the national team. So yeah, it was actually mostly thank to like thanks to my team in Hungary that I played for the national team, because they really put me in a position to like be successful in euro League and kind of put my name on the map in Europe and prove that I can be a great European player.

00:32:02
Speaker 1: Wow, I can't believe they didn't just jump on that immediately when you reached that.

00:32:07
Speaker 2: That's shocking. Yeah, it's different. It's just different out there. They don't the way they don't view the NCAA the same way we do.

00:32:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well you made yourself undeniable and you ended up missing the whole twenty twenty one WNBA season to play for France.

00:32:29
Speaker 2: That's a huge statement. What made you make that decision? Things weren't going great for me in Chicago as it was.

00:32:36
Speaker 5: I think like it was just like a it's very obvious that it wasn't the right fit, and I was honest with them, Like even before draft night they called me like, oh, we heard that you have a French passport and I was like, yeah, don't don't draft me if that's going to be a problem.

00:32:54
Speaker 2: And they still drafted me and it became a problem.

00:32:56
Speaker 5: But I was always very open and honest that if I ever got called to the national team that I would go. It was something that was always just like a huge priority for me. I mean, playing for your national team is just different than pro It's just like a legacy that you kind of just want to leave and an opportunity to play in the Olympics.

00:33:14
Speaker 2: There was no way that I was gonna get anything up for that. What was it like being a first time All Star? Oh? That was so fun. It was such a fun weekend. Yeah.

00:33:23
Speaker 5: I really wasn't expecting it. I wasn't expecting them to last. Seattle have three All Stars as well. I came into the season like in really really great shape, kind of from like I had just come from Turkey, and so just seeing that finally be able to kind of translate to the WNBA side just felt just felt awesome.

00:33:42
Speaker 2: You know. It was a lot of fun.

00:33:44
Speaker 5: Again, like seeing my my family's reaction to it, my friend's reaction to it was cool. Getting to spend that weekend like just with you and and all like the Yukon people that were there as well that like showed up.

00:34:00
Speaker 2: That was It was really cool.

00:34:02
Speaker 1: It was definitely a fun weekend from the outside perspective, so being actual, so I can't imagine how much fun that was.

00:34:09
Speaker 2: It was cool.

00:34:09
Speaker 5: I mean, there were so many Yukon people too as well, and just like even the old teammatesal roommates, so it's kind of cool to like spend those moments with them. So, yeah, you mentioned you're getting ready to go to Turkey. Are you about to go play again? No more rest, No more rest, No more rest. No. I I had come to this agreement with I played for friend and BATCHI in Istimbul, Turkey, and it was pretty like I already had to wear a lot of wear and tear on my body even before then. I had the Olympics, came back, played the end of the season with Seattle, I got about two days, went right to play the Super Cup in is Tim bul Yeah, and so I already and they were well aware of it. They knew that I was going to need rest at some point, so they were lucky enough to, you know, allow me to get some things done for my knee, and I really need to get done so that I can be like the best player I can be for them this season. And it was very obvious by the way I looked at the end of this w season that everyone.

00:35:12
Speaker 2: Was like, why are you limping? I was like, I've been limping. I've been limping. This is nothing new. So just.

00:35:22
Speaker 5: I think everyone knew that this break was going to be necessary, and I think mentally too, just give me a you know, wanted to be excited to go back, versus just like, oh, okay, I only have a couple of days, just being like, Okay, now I'm getting antsy to kind of play again.

00:35:36
Speaker 2: Okay, well, good luck, I'm excited for you. Thank you. I was going to say, if you got more rest, come to a Yukon game.

00:35:43
Speaker 5: I know, I know I need to. It's the same Yeah, it's the same calendar. I remember I wake everyone up. I was like, my mom was in Istanbul during the National Championship last year, in the final four, and I was like.

00:35:57
Speaker 2: We're staying up for this game. I don't care. Oh, I made her watch it. It's a real one right there, dedicated.

00:36:07
Speaker 5: I think it started at like one am. I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, Oh that's love. That really is. It's time to pivot. You have some fan questions.

00:36:24
Speaker 1: I think over five hundred questions were submitted, so yeah, obviously we're not asking five hundred. We only picked some of them, but there were a lot of people want to know a lot of.

00:36:35
Speaker 2: Things about you.

00:36:38
Speaker 3: Can I discuss say one, yeah, Courtney williams ax one and I think that should be the first question.

00:36:46
Speaker 2: Gabby, why are you so fond Courney? When are you going to leave me alone? God? I'm so sick of it. Leave me alone? All right?

00:37:00
Speaker 1: Next question, So, I've heard from some special source that you have a lot of hobbies, some including Djang bayblade, battles on the plane, watching anime. How do you have time to have these hobbies outside of basketball? I guess bab lad battles on the plane kind of that one self explanatory. I'm interested to know how how that came about.

00:37:29
Speaker 5: Facts Sometimes I like realize that I have adult money now, you know, and.

00:37:38
Speaker 2: Free will adult money and free will free will. That was a big one. I was like, I could just buy it whatever Bayblades I want now, I don't have to ask.

00:37:53
Speaker 5: So I bought all the bayblad exs that I wanted and got back into it. My little brother I was so into them, like so so into them when we were little, and so then when I remember he need to visit me, and he was like, oh, this is this one and this one, Oh this is picass and you have people like so he goes we got into and you're dispect with my brothers and my niece the whole time they're in Seattle.

00:38:17
Speaker 2: And yeah, same with djaying. I was like, I'm just very Yeah.

00:38:22
Speaker 5: Sometimes they randomly just learned that I have adult money and can do it I want sometimes.

00:38:27
Speaker 2: And that was those are two things I just kind of ever born of it.

00:38:29
Speaker 1: Did you get like a I don't even know what it's called, like the DJ like.

00:38:33
Speaker 5: Little Well, I had brought it up that I had been wanting to do it for like a really long time and I just didn't. I was like, I don't know, and then Marine got me when I think for like Christmas, my birthday or something.

00:38:46
Speaker 2: She got me like the controller, and I was like, all right, that is a good idea. I should do. That end up being really really fun. You got to send some of your mixes. I'd love to.

00:38:57
Speaker 5: I'll come do it. What's your DJ name? We don't have one yet. My pinky's broken, and so it was really funny like whenever I would DJ, you can always see like my pinky like this. So we're like, we should just call me pinky, like DJ pinky or something. I think it's stupid, but I'll find a name.

00:39:16
Speaker 2: We need DJ Pinky to come perform at TS.

00:39:19
Speaker 3: So you're also into anime? How'd you get into that?

00:39:23
Speaker 2: That's been forever. That was before I knew it was like anime.

00:39:27
Speaker 5: You know, they were just like they were just the cartoons that I came home and watched at three o'clock when I go home from school, just like sprinting because Yugyo started at the three thirty, you know, so get a sprinting home from the bust stop so I could be in front of the TV in time. So I think Yugyoh was like the biggest one that got me into it.

00:39:52
Speaker 2: In Yasha was also one, because yes, yeah, I used to watch that. Remember it used to be an adults swim. I used to come on with all kinds of hours and I'm like, right, so I.

00:40:05
Speaker 5: Remember being like, oh, this is like the bad thing I'm gonna watch, and my parents don't know what I'm watching, like.

00:40:14
Speaker 3: An elevated cartoon about like going around killing and saving people, like okay, right, right, And I.

00:40:22
Speaker 2: Just remember just yeah, being up on when it was in the school night.

00:40:25
Speaker 5: I got to like watching Yuyasha late at night, and then again learning that I had free will in college, and I was like, oh, I can just go back and watch all the same Remoon episodes, like I can just go back and watch all the Dragon Dragon ball z and just like yeah, And then of course you start to find like the anime community that puts you on to you know, if you like this, you should watch this, and then you just get down a rabbit hole that.

00:40:47
Speaker 2: You can't escape. What's your favorite?

00:40:49
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm watching Get Your Kuda right now, Left Chance on Man. This is controversial because of the fan service, but I do love fire Force. I don't agree with the fan service, but Force. Yeah, these are all anime names.

00:41:08
Speaker 3: She's like, I don't know what you guys about. It's an elevated cartoon. I might have to watch an episode. Don't cartoon. The community is real serious, right, Start with Naruto. Okay, I've heard of from Dragon Ball Z or something. Yes, dragon Ball z yu yoh easy, Yeah, Naruto too.

00:41:36
Speaker 5: Naruto is the one I watched a lot as a kid that was on I think it was on Nickelodeon.

00:41:40
Speaker 2: All the time.

00:41:40
Speaker 3: But yeah, now some of these are on Netflix and stuff, so accessible.

00:41:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of Netflix originals. I have a tattoo of a Netflix original that's really really good. Don't start with that one. It's called Doubleman, cry Baby. I think you need to. If you start with that one, you're going to be put off from anime for a long time. Like it not traumatized, You're gonna traumatize. Yeah, don't don't start with that. I gonna start it is definitely one of my favorites. Oh, speaking of your tattoos, what's your favorite tattoo?

00:42:09
Speaker 2: I really like my anime ones. How many anime ones you have? Let's see I.

00:42:14
Speaker 5: Have two from Spirited Away. I don't know, you've probably seen Spirited Away. It's like not that, it's yeah, that's the movie you should watch.

00:42:24
Speaker 2: That's when you can start with for sure. Yeah, I have perfect perfect some movie.

00:42:29
Speaker 5: It's cute these horses, Okay, Yeah, it's like beautiful to watch too, like the animation.

00:42:37
Speaker 2: But yeah, I like my spirit.

00:42:38
Speaker 5: I get a lot of compliments on my no face tattoo. I have one for my tack on tighten on my arm. That's like that I love. I just love you are you are really into anime and I love this.

00:42:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have more.

00:42:51
Speaker 5: I have JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on my ribs and I love how that one looks too. Yeah, my only ones I think are the coolest. I have doublem in Cribby on my knee. I have another Spirited Away one. I'm probably gonna get more animate ones. But yeah, what was the first tattoo you ever got? I got a matching one on my shoulder with my sister. I'm from Reno, shout out to seven seven five and we are. We like to get our tattoos in people's kitchens and garages. We like to find whoever has a tattoo gun or nose an artist, oh gosh, And so yeah, I got my first tattoo in my friend's kitchen at fourteen, and then when I got.

00:43:36
Speaker 2: To Yukon, we weren't allowed. I think you guys can have tattoos visible now, right.

00:43:41
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I remember watching you play and my whole family was convinced that you had some sort of shoulder injury.

00:43:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, for four years, the same one. Yeah, and they're like, what kind of injury?

00:43:56
Speaker 2: Like does that kind of tape help?

00:43:57
Speaker 1: Like I I wasn't asking questions.

00:44:00
Speaker 2: I was like, just a sore, right. Oh.

00:44:04
Speaker 5: I remember, like CV, I probably put her through hell, like my first two weeks of Yukon, like Cauz.

00:44:12
Speaker 2: You know, CD also has a lot of rules of like she didn't like wearing.

00:44:15
Speaker 5: Shirts under jerseys because I heard like the tattoo rule, and I was like, oh, that's fine, Like I wear a long sleep under my jersey like I did in high school.

00:44:21
Speaker 2: Anyways, I was like, I'll just wear her under.

00:44:22
Speaker 5: CD was like, oh, that's even worse than the tattoo, and I was like okay. We tried to like cut the shirt a certain way, which looked horrible. We tried to put makeup on it, and she didn't want regular tape because she was like, the only thing I hate more than the tattoo was tape covering up a tattoo, like she thought it looked tacky, and I was like.

00:44:43
Speaker 2: Okay, just CD, you know.

00:44:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so I think like five games into the season, after trying different things, we finally settled on canisio tape because.

00:44:52
Speaker 2: It looked yeah, like an injury.

00:44:54
Speaker 5: And then it became a part of my pregame routine, like cutting the tape properly, getting the trainer to put it on right, like yeah.

00:45:01
Speaker 3: Speaking of CD, tell us about your cat and how you hit it from her?

00:45:10
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, oh that was so bad.

00:45:16
Speaker 2: I got. Yeah.

00:45:19
Speaker 5: I remember like when I finally left Yukon and with my cat and my mom being like, you survived, you made it out.

00:45:30
Speaker 2: You made it out with your cat. It's so bad. I don't think.

00:45:35
Speaker 5: I think, even to this day, I'm scared to tell her that, like my whole senior year I had.

00:45:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, yeah, she sees this like I.

00:45:45
Speaker 5: Remember one time Lou Lou got called into or she was not called into, but she was in the coach's offices and she had cat hair like all over her.

00:45:55
Speaker 2: Shout out to lou she is a real one. But she's been cuddling with my cat all day and the coach like is that cat hair?

00:46:01
Speaker 5: And she was like I was at my friend's house, like thought of a lie on the fly, like a real one, A real one.

00:46:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. She's like, oh my god. She was like I forgot to get the cat hair on.

00:46:13
Speaker 5: But I remember like having my cat, had to stay at like my friend's house. When we would do like the fire inspections mm hmm whatever, when the people would come inspect the apartment, I'd have to hide her and just we had a fire droll once can ourselves the story and I had to like grab the cat and run out.

00:46:30
Speaker 2: And then I had like hit in the car so nobody saw that I had. I had her with me, but I can't believe that.

00:46:38
Speaker 1: I can't believe successfully you hit her from CD. That's so impressive.

00:46:45
Speaker 5: And I had her like though my entire senior year two Like I got her, Oh wow, I got her. She was yeah, they had her November December. Yeah, yeah, to this day, this is GOODA she found finds out I'm really still petrified and like, haven't told her.

00:47:04
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sorry.

00:47:05
Speaker 1: You're definitely going to get as fans love your style and so do I. What was your favorite fit from last season?

00:47:12
Speaker 2: Ooh good question? Also thank you flattered.

00:47:20
Speaker 5: I think it was when my niece was in town visiting. She's ten years old, and she styled it was like a Jordan vest. I think I had like a long button up underneath like a white skirt, and my niece actually styled that one for me.

00:47:36
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I think that was my favorite look.

00:47:39
Speaker 5: And it was fun, like because I have a group chat with my niece and my sister and they would help me out with my outfits all season, so I don't have a stylist of my own.

00:47:46
Speaker 2: I just do it myself or with them.

00:47:49
Speaker 5: And so that my niece was finally visiting me and I was like, okay, like we can go through the closet together, you can help me, And yeah.

00:47:54
Speaker 1: That's so sweet. All right, if I come to Seattle, I'm gonna need to come stele me.

00:48:00
Speaker 5: Honestly, she'd do a great job. She would do a great job. She's so cool. It's so annoying how cool she is at ten years old.

00:48:08
Speaker 2: Well she's a cool aunts. So oh.

00:48:12
Speaker 3: So Gabby, the fans want to know, what did you whisper into Jules's ear after Game three?

00:48:18
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was weird. It got like weirdly weirdly viral, and I was, yeah, it was.

00:48:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just one of those things where I just said, like, all right, I was like you little shit or something stupid, like, you know, like you got me whatever, it's it's duel, it's all love. And I think, yeah, we always just make little remarks, like even when we would score on each other sometimes in like games during the regular season or whatever, she'd like, don't do that again, like she blocks this shit out of me.

00:48:46
Speaker 2: Once.

00:48:47
Speaker 5: I was like, don't do that again, you know, just like I've done do it forever, just joke. So I think I just said like, like, you little shit, and then I wish just wished her good luck for for the rest of playoffs.

00:48:58
Speaker 1: When you were George the storm loss, how do you feel about that? Oh?

00:49:02
Speaker 2: And people were georgs it's kind of crazy. Listen, I'm thank you, thank you for asking me about this. This has been like the most annoying thing, and it was so annoying. We were losing every game.

00:49:18
Speaker 5: At that point, we were on like a six game, seven game losing streak. I'm like, it's not the georts, y'all, like we're we are not playing well. And it was so annoying because it would like mess with me mentally, which I hate it because usually, like, I'm not on Twitter. I got off Twitter a long time ago. Even my anime Twitter, it's not even fun anymore. I know all the basketball fans for my anime Twitter, so I'm like, I got to see Escape Basketball and now they've all found me. So I'm like, I'm not even on Twitter anymore, but people were still finding a way for me to like see this freaking thing. Every Instagram comment was like about georgs I ruined a lot of my outfits that I had ready for this year, So jokes on y'all.

00:50:01
Speaker 2: Y'all missed out on a lot of good looks.

00:50:03
Speaker 5: So between about George and missing now on some outfits.

00:50:09
Speaker 2: Jokes on them. I'm crying. I'm crying. Jeorde gay eliminated, eliminated. Yeah. I was like, this is what y'all decided to focus on? How about the basketball? How about the night?

00:50:46
Speaker 3: Thirty one, baby, thirty one, first one of the season, thirty ball.

00:50:52
Speaker 5: M h yeah, first one, but we know we're going to see a few more. I mean, you look in such great shape and it's a thirty one, but it is the most efficient thirty one in college basketball right now, which I really respect because as you know, like scoring thirty at Yukon is not.

00:51:09
Speaker 2: Something that happens a lot.

00:51:11
Speaker 5: But obviously you know you're going four for four, like that's gonna be easy.
