She’s incredibly skilled for her age. Her father isn’t pushing her like people except. She’s doing it for herself and her future. Very inspiring.

I think the relationship between him and his daughter is truly special. This girl is not only incredibly skilled she is very mature for her age and handles herself in a competetive but classy way. Wish all kids had someone like this dad in their life but too many deadbeats out there. Wish this family the best.

Girl: I want to be in the NBA.


WNBA: Do I not exist in your mind?

[tracyhector]

Truly inspiring as a father and as a daughter. Great goals set with other goals to come. Great job young lady and dad!

[sarge]

It sounds like her dad has instilled some great values in his daughter...and its great that he is so heavily involved in everything she does....😊😊

This has inspired me to become the first male WNBA player.
