see with you now being the face of Under Armor women's basketball what's been that experience like working with them yeah I mean I I uh have really enjoyed my um you know my partnership with them they've just been so uh just supportive and just like the vision that I want you know for um you know trying to like impact young women and uh um really cool like being able to collaborate they're super open to ideas like people have had a lot of um great feedback from like the shoes that we've done and stuff like that all the e so that's been a lot of fun the team has been awesome um i' I've had a wonderful experience what do you think is going to be the number one key to win another championship this year I mean I just think a game out a time you know Phoenix is really good especially at home and I think that you know we have to just take it quarter by quarter for sure and then what you think is like the most difficult part about defending titles and stuff especially when you've won two in a row now yeah I mean I just think that every game is uh you're going to get everyone's Best Shot you know and so there's no there's no easy nights there's no uh you know easy path um and yeah it's definitely been definitely been the hardest season yet for sure what what's different about playing Phoenix this year compared to years past I mean obviously they're they're a different roster you know so you add copper and Cloud a lot more Dynamic uh faster Pace um but you know I just think like their style of play especially you know coach Nate has people spread out and they shoot a lot of Threes um so like if you're not everyone's a threat you know if you're not closing out and um really up defensively you're going to have your hand full of all night and then last one for us just K seeing what she did in the gold medal game you know what was that all like that was my dog man no she was awesome you know she was one of the reasons we won that game um she's just not afraid of the moment you know she's a big time player and uh she wants the ball and clutch situations and uh it was really cool to see her shine in that moment especially cuz you know she didn't get um a ton of opportunities early but she definitely made the most of it when she did thank you
