The Paris 2024 Olympics kicked off last Friday and the iconic event is currently one of the hottest topics in the world.
On Monday, Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt was joined by Dales and NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero during a segment.
During the sequence, Brandt mentioned the fact that Dales was part of the 2000 group Canada basketball team that reached the Sydney Olympics.
Photos of Dales, then 20, appeared on the screen as the Ontario native was stunned by the revelation.
“I don’t know what photos you have,” she said.
“We weren’t very good.”
The 2000 Canadian team went 2-3 and did not advance to the quarterfinals.
But that didn’t matter to Dales, who believes the Olympics have a very positive impact on the world.
“What I say about the Olympics: they are the most galvanizing force on our globe,” said the 44-year-old.
“When you go through these Olympic ceremonies, you are celebrating all countries. I don’t know if there is another event that does this.
“I can’t wait to see what the men and women of America (do).”
Dales also added that he received his United States citizenship this summer.
A native of Ontario, Canada, she played college basketball at the University of Oklahoma.
Dales was selected by the Washington Mystics with the third overall pick in the 2002 WNBA Draft.

That year, she made the All-Star team as a walk-on.
Unfortunately, Dales was diagnosed with Raynaud’s phenomenon in his hands.
She retired in 2004 but returned after a year.
Dales played in the WNBA for two years before announcing her retirement for the second time.
Since 2009, she has been a host and reporter for NFL Network.
Dales previously spent seven years as an analyst and reporter for ESPN and ABC.
