00:00:24
Speaker 2: I wanted to do a little toast to start us off because it is huge, and you know this comes out Friday, I'm assuming, but this is the day after, so this is insane. We were just in it and I'm still rolling on like a high of the night. So I want to do a little toast. Cheers to our girl number one baby, not.

00:00:46
Speaker 1: The two cheer cheers. Oh my gosh, Okay, I'm gonna stick to water. Anyways. How are you feeling? Amazing? A little tired, really hungry, actually actually also really tired, but amazing, super excited. I know yesterday, I mean it's like, was that really real? I don't know.

00:01:08
Speaker 2: We blinked and we hear girl, I'm like, am I waking up from this dream?

00:01:12
Speaker 1: Yet?

00:01:13
Speaker 2: You looked incredible? Thank you and you know you're funny as usual. We saw some of your your faces when the camera panned over it. Girl, what was going through your mind as you were sitting there waiting to hear your name called?

00:01:25
Speaker 1: My heart was beating out of its chest. I made my parents feel my heart and they were like sounding like it was like a basketball, like that's it was beating so hard. I was so nervous, but excited. Yeah, I knew eventually I was going to hear my name called. When I was just excited to find out where I was going to go, who was going to get to play with? And yeah, I don't know, just excited. Listen, this was this was your draft.

00:01:47
Speaker 2: You've been to the draft three times, obviously it's a little bit different. Can you tell us, like what the difference was for you other than the fact that.

00:01:55
Speaker 1: You were, you know, called number one? To be clear, yes, a lot different being the one getting drafted. I mean, this whole weekend was so busy just with stuff that all the draftees were doing dinners. Well, we had like full day of meetings, just as some people talk learning, learning about literally everything. It was like safety, information, media stuff. It was just like lecture after lecture. I felt like we were back in school, So that was super busy, but it was super cool to get to hang out with the other draftees because I mean, we're coming off a lot of us just playing each other. Five UCLA girls and South Carolina girls. I'm like, I don't want to hang out with them, They're just let me just ended like hold on. But it was super fun. Like I honestly, the first night we had dinner and I don't know if Jack was I think, yeah, Jack was there, and I was like, I don't want to go. I'm nervous. I don't want to make friends. And I loved all of them. So we had a great time together and it was just nice to like have a second to get to know each other. Like I said, we've been competing against each other since high school, but like you know them, we don't really get a chance to get to know them, talk to them. So we're in the same position now, all rookies going into the w So that was a lot of fun.

00:03:09
Speaker 2: Girl looked like a lot of fun. You looked in incredible. What about this, like the draft or this whole process surprised you most.

00:03:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I guess, like I know how fast everything happens. I've said that, just like the turnaround from playing to then having to pack your stuff up and then going to the draft and being drafted and going to your new location. But it's different knowing that and being in it. Yeah, so like knowing them I'm going to be in Dallas tomorrow and.

00:03:37
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy, I'm a professional now.

00:03:41
Speaker 1: I not. It just doesn't feel real. I don't know, it's not gonna really smack me until I'm in Dallas, And.

00:03:48
Speaker 2: Honestly, you might be in Dallas and be like, am I I'm still we still playing?

00:03:54
Speaker 1: Actually? Wow, congratulations, thank you? What's that?

00:03:58
Speaker 2: Like?

00:03:59
Speaker 1: Some advice you got that stuck with you. One of the panels that we did, we actually Courtney Williams came and oh my gosh, Yeah that was definitely a time. Yeah, definitely the best panel we had all day. But her advice was kind of just, you know, do what got you drafted. Don't go to your team and start trying to do the most, trying to do something you're not. Be someone you're not if you got drafted because you're a good shooter, because you're a great pastor because you're like, do the things that got you drafted, and like do those well, like don't don't do too much, but then like don't lose your confidence and not do it. So yeah, I think that, and then the advice of I forget who said it, but like find a vet, like get to know your teammates, find a vet that you can learn from and watch, because it's gonna be a lot coming at us. We're going to be trying to learn a lot, figure out a lot, naviate a lot, whether it's on the court off the court, and so find a vet who kind of has it figured out and you can like learn from them and they can take you under the wing, under their dubtas wing.

00:05:00
Speaker 2: Okay, so I know you talked about a little bit of all the craziness that's happening, but as someone who is it was never a drafty and there's a lot of people who never will be a draft d Can you walk us through like your day, Like, okay, you got here what Friday?

00:05:23
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon? I went straight to a workout, got to the hotel and hold on, let me like this weekend was so long where Friday feels like yesterday, but the same time it feels like a week ago. You'll hear make that's what it was. Insane. So Friday woke up at the booty crack of dawn so I could finished saying my goodbyes to everyone. That was sad. I think I cried like the first hour of my three hour car ride. It was like that that movie scene where like it's raining and you're just looking up the car window hand slow tears. Anyway, that was great. When my workout came back, tried a bunch of clothes on, went to this dinner, which was one of my favorite parts the whole weekend. I sat with It was two other players and Lexi Brown and Neca were at my table. So it was really cool to just talk with them like there was not like I don't know if it was just very informal. It was chill. It was like, you know, just chatting with the girls. That was amazing. Then went back, got my hair braided, saw you, went to bed, woke up super early, woke worked out, and then we had and this is Saturday, now, oh now we're onto Saturday. Okay, worked out and then Saturday we had some media first and then we went to the MBPA and we did it was like a bunch of stations. We got to listen to a panel with some of the w NBPA. Some of them were player reps and some of them were actually on the real committee and we're in the room negotiating the CBA, so it was really cool to hear from them and learn about that. I need them to negotiate some things from me. Shoo. It was a panel. There was more media, and then there were different stations, so we got scanned for two k we did. We took photos with like the new jacket.

00:07:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of just like station to station, some media, some learning information overload, and then we got gifts.

00:07:28
Speaker 1: We got gifts. I have room in my suitcases, so I had them send it to my new location. But it was like we got iPad, we got legos, we got some perfume, some skincare, we got we got so much stuff. They really spoiled us. They really spoiled us so that I can't wait to unpack and do a hall of Oh yes, I can't wait to see it. I'll be right. There was that Ball OF's Choice. So that was from like nine to three, and then we went back to the hotel. I did more trying on of clothes. This is Saturday night, Saturday evening, evening evening. After that we went back tried on some more clothes, and then I had my Jordan dinner, which was well. The food was unreal. It was so good. It was super cute. Yes it was. I got my hair, oh that's what I did. I gotta get my hair on, makeup done. I yeah, it was super cute. The dinner was amazing. It did such a great job. I felt very loved for sure. And my family was there, my best friend was there, so it was amazing. That was a great night. I ate way too much food. That fit girl. Let's just get to a real quick, real quick. Where were you wearing? Where were you wearing?

00:08:43
Speaker 2: I saw pictures. Your dad broke it broke the news for me. He posted, your dad posted you were wearing well, I broke the news here. Sorry to him. You looked so fired like you. I think it was a mini skirt, crop heels.

00:09:01
Speaker 1: And the Jordan JACKEYA oh okay, yeah, the scirit was like a squirt though it was like shorts with that little like flat. That's even better. You look amazing, super mad and clar and Haley ate hair and makeup a like, look really good. We wait for that dump. Okay.

00:09:22
Speaker 2: So there I had a food baby like an act like actual like baby bump.

00:09:26
Speaker 1: I have a picture of it for proof. We went back and I had to do another fitting for coach, and that might've been the hardest part of the weekend. I'm not gonna lie, because my first dress that I wore was of course that underneath and like I said, a baby bump. And so they're like, you know, you get on the back, yanking the strings, trying to tighten it. Not actually, but they were yanking the strings and I'm like Jack, Jack and my agent Jack and then throw up. So I'm sitting I'm standing there just like silent. I'm like, if I speak, I'm gonna die. Like do you want to go? You won't want to I can't, but nothing else can know. So that was that was a struggle, but it was it was important we did that because it really came to life. It sure did. Okay. So then went to bed really late, woke up super early, had worked out, and then Sunday was meetings all day. We were literally in the same room from nine to four.

00:10:23
Speaker 2: Oh that's not even like you did a shift nine to four, you went to work. That was and that was all like safety protocol things and it.

00:10:34
Speaker 1: Was There were some actually some really interesting things. There was like a financial literacy talk that was really cool. There was one about like mental health that was good, and I mean it wasn't It was all information we needed to know and that was all really helpful, but it was just like information overload. Like we had notebooks and I was like, I haven't been in school in so long, Like not obviously in school, but like we sit down, but like sit down and take hand written notes. I haven't done that in a minute. Yeah. That was gosh. That was a long day.

00:11:04
Speaker 2: And that's when Courtney came. She she livened live, ended it up. I don't know, she made it fun.

00:11:11
Speaker 1: I think it is. And then after I went straight to another coach fitting because mine you were now one day away from the draft, so things i'd be perfect. That was great, and then we also worked on my party dress that day too. Went right from there to another dinner with the w Kathy was there, Yeah, dinner with Kathy. Then it was also so good. I ate way too much again, and then I tried more dresses on with another food baby but no said, so it was okay, went back to the hotel, tried on more dresses, but that was when it wasn't the night until the night before that. I tried that second dress on the night before. Yeah.

00:11:51
Speaker 2: No, Sydney, Sydney, Sydney. Yeah, you are in the prayers. Sydney Sydney and Jack.

00:11:58
Speaker 1: Did their big one right around try to find dresses because she picked dresses out, but I was like, I like them, I don't love them, and I want to love them. So they were running around the city trying to find different dresses. So I have it was like at least fifteen that I tried on and that was that was the bad. Winner was definitely winner girl.

00:12:15
Speaker 2: It was number one, So let's just win it all around where like, where's address from? Just retro fet do period dress by retro fit. They did a great job, incredibly. You were shining up there.

00:12:39
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:12:39
Speaker 2: Wait, okay, so I saw you went to the Empire Stay Building or no.

00:12:43
Speaker 1: Yes, that brings us to Monday, oh excuse me? Which woke up early, worked out. Then we went to the Empire State Building, which I've never been. I've been to New York so many times and I've never been in there, say the truth. Tell me I have not been there either. I mean I've been like outside, but I look like you're someone who's scared heights, are you? I am, but not too much. I'm trying to crack me late it. That could be ashamed of. I know.

00:13:05
Speaker 2: It's so crazy because people are like, oh, you're tall, so you should not think. It doesn't make any sense exactly, that does not matter, like no correlation six And I still don't want to be up there anyways.

00:13:16
Speaker 1: How was that? That was cool?

00:13:19
Speaker 2: Well?

00:13:19
Speaker 1: What I didn't know that they changed the color of the building orange. Yeah, so that's and then we got to go up to the very top and they said it's the highest open deck observation something in the Northern Hemisphere. Fun fact. Yeah, so that was I think the one hundred third hundred fourth floor or something hundred something for I'm uncomfortable hearing that. And it was so windy up there.

00:13:46
Speaker 2: It was a little scary, but it was cool. Cool, that looked fun. I love seeing you guys were taking like pictures of having a good time. Whould you like get to bond with that you didn't expect out of the draftees.

00:13:57
Speaker 1: I talked a lot with I mean, actually of them, but I spent a lot of time with like Marta and Live Raven, Tony, the South Carolina girls. I really like them. They're amazing, They're crazy, they're super sweet, flage A Cod I think Cody was probably my biggest surprise. I never really uh talked to her before. And she's good friends with KK, so like they've been on the phone and like i'll say, high like that energy align. But oh honestly, it's scary meeting her a person. I'm like this the two of you, Yeah, we see it. They would tear a place up a good time. But she is she's great. So I think just getting like I said, getting to know them and see them like outside of the basketball court, it was really cool. All of them have such great personalities. That's good.

00:14:41
Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys are buy it was. It looked like you guys were having a good time, so that's awesome. And now you guys are all rookies into the next level, so that's super exciting. I do want to tap more entities. Looks okay, yeah, let's tap.

00:14:55
Speaker 1: Yes for the Jordan fit. What were you going for I don't know, street wear battie ain't that. Yeah, I don't know, because it was comfy, but it was cute.

00:15:07
Speaker 2: It was perfect and it was like the shack and the heels.

00:15:14
Speaker 1: It was.

00:15:14
Speaker 2: It was perfect, like you like a good mixture of like feel comfy but elevated.

00:15:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. Period. So Jordan left me lots of goodies for a draft weekend, the suitcase, flip clothes, and some other stuff which we can get into later. Jordan gave me two really cool pairs of shoes, a pair of off white Jordan Ones sick and my favorites were a pair of Travis Scott's and they were pain of course they were. And I think that's my new favorite show of all time, Travis. He also wrote me a note I was saying, good luck in the trap.

00:15:55
Speaker 3: Good luck in the trap, the trause. You can do both exactly exactly. But that was really sweet of him. He didn't need to do that, but that was super cool. Okay, shout out Jordan Brand.

00:16:07
Speaker 1: Shout out Jordan Brand.

00:16:09
Speaker 2: And you know you said someth We're gonna get into it later, but some special maybe for the next episode.

00:16:13
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get into that. It sounded that.

00:16:16
Speaker 2: So let's talk about your orange carpet fit. Tell me about that.

00:16:20
Speaker 1: Yes, So the Orange carpet fit was a custom Coach dress, which Coach really did their big one making it come to life and sid with the inspiration because I really gave her nothing to work with. I'm not gonna lie. I was kind of just like I want to wear a dress. She's like colors, Nope, like sparkles, and I'm like yeah, like sure whatever, yeah, and this is what she came up with. There was a sparkle, a picture Coco Jones that was like partial inspo oh love. I don't remember what event she was going to, but like corsette coming out, but it was all black. So this was different where it was black and white with sequence. But I wish I wonder if you can show like what the like, what the sketch looked like, like the design idea to then like the first day of my fitting, it's likely just a white gown. It looked like I was getting married with like a tiny patch a triangle, a patch of sequence on the dress. You could like get the idea and I'm like, what are we doing here? And then the next one was like a little bit better. The next one was a little bit better, but I'm still like, I don't know about this. In the last day, everything came together and I think this is incredible. So getting to see the behind the scenes of what that looks like was also really cool.

00:17:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every detail you looked amazing. I know you probably died and you're saying that, but it's true, even down to your nails. Listen, you always got your nails done. Fabulous those nails, come on, talk about it.

00:17:45
Speaker 1: I like each time G Nails makes me a set, I'm like, okay, these are the best ones.

00:17:51
Speaker 2: But these ones are so cool. They were they were so cool.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: Describe them. So they were black, white, silver, and they had like little gems on it, and there were three d super textured and like I just they were long, they were pointy. Yeah, okay, listen, G Nails always told you that.

00:18:13
Speaker 2: I really I love the attention to detail because it's not only just the dress. It's the hair, it's the makeup, it's the nails. You're always put together. Shout out you and your team because you'll be holding it down.

00:18:24
Speaker 1: They give me right every time. Okay, let's talk about your final look.

Tell me about that dress other than the fact that it was fabulous. Well, like I said, that was super last minute.

00:18:47
Speaker 1: So that wasn't how last minute? Are we talking? Like the night before was when I tried it on for the first time. Oh yeah, oh twenty four hours out? Yeah? Okay, so the inSpot was the is like find me addressed as nice? Yes? I told you Jack, my agent, and Sidney really where they were running around the city trying to find dresses, trying to find me options, Jack calling it down okay, yeah, Sidney, thank you.

00:19:13
Speaker 2: Yes, well they killed it because that doesn't look like twenty four hour turnaround. That looks like it took its time. Okay, you looked amazing up there. You were listening. Thank you.

00:19:25
Speaker 1: Wait, actually, though, I do want to talk about the change. Yeah, so yeah, the change you saw me on the orange carpet. I did, and then you I think I don't know if I think everyone went and talked and they do ESPN and talk with anyways, So I was waiting for my time slots so I could go talk. And I think I was like the second to last person. So the draft is at seven. I didn't go on to ESPN until six thirty. Like it was a couple of minutes after six thirty, and I still had to change. And so there was a green room set up and they were like no matter what there were the whole time. They were like, the time is going to be, you have to change fast whatever. So already had that through my mind, but this at this point where it's like six thirty, I'm like, well, I still have to change, Like what are we going to do? I don't finish till like six forty six forty five. I think it was six forty five. Draft starts at seven. Yeah, I still need to change.
