“They’re really good. They have a lot of talent on this team. Four years ago, I’m pretty sure the WNBA team beat the USA team, [and] they were perfectly fine at the Olympics,” she said.
“It actually shows how good this league is.
“It shows how much talent there is in this league and how you have to show up and prepare every night.
“There are a lot of players who aren’t even here tonight who could be here too.
