The WNBA changed the equation for a young female broadcaster who wanted nothing more than to remain close to the game, and call basketball games.

Doris Burke

In terms of playing, of course, Europe is definitely more finesse than playing in the WNBA. I think they're more skilled in terms of the overall ability. And here in the States, in the WNBA, we just kind of play off athleticism and just play.

Cappie Pondexter

My dream is to play ordinary characters. I have no interest in playing a pretty girl or an NRI girl.

For some, a sign of your success starts with, 'I'm going to buy a big house.' Then, 'I'm going to start buying art.' And 'Oh, I want a sports team.' We need the WNBA to be that aspirational - you make it as a big time female entrepreneur or executive and you say, 'You know, my dream has always been to own a WNBA team.'

Ted Leonsis

Whether it's college or WNBA, its basketball and the more you play the less you need to adjust.

Diana Taurasi

I played Little League baseball, but I also played basketball. Basketball was my primary sport. When you play basketball seriously, a lot of times, through the summer season, you continue playing. So that replaced me playing baseball.

Chadwick Boseman

I'm playing basketball. It's my dream job. So I'm a pretty happy camper.

Iman Shumpert

I want to hold onto that because I think every kid when they dream about playing basketball, they don't dream about being a role player. They dream about being the man. I have that position in Toronto and to give that up and go somewhere else to be an addition would kinda defeat the purpose of my dreams.

Chris Bosh

In Brazil, young boys dream of playing in the Champions League and I'm very proud to have realized my dream.

Oscar

I was living my dream as a WNBA player.

Becky Hammon

I've always been a basketball player. My earliest memories are of playing basketball. I was born playing it. It's why I'm so comfortable on the floor.

Jahlil Okafor

I'm accustomed to playing basketball really rough. When I came into the league, I was used to fighting on the court. That's how I grew up playing basketball.

Metta World Peace

My city was very basketball-minded so I was born playing basketball and I didn't like playing soccer that much.

Manu Ginobili

Playing unselfish basketball is a core component of our basketball culture and high assist totals are a great indicator that we are playing the right way.
