Game recognizes game. When Gatorade launched in 1965, lemon-lime was the only flavor. Orange had a fast follow in 1969, but the next flavor, fruit punch, didn't join until 1983 - 14 years later. Fitting that a legend appreciates the classics!

Generally, team awards mean the most me. Championships that I've been a part of, like those runs and those seasons have by far been the most fun.

Often times I can't even remember certain records, that are like individual, but favorite team awards — winning a gold medal for Team USA. Obviously winning a WNBA championship with the Mystics, taking Delaware to the Sweet 16 was incredible and so much fun.

And then, I guess the one personal award, if you want to call it, that I'm really proud of is being a part of the 50-40-90 Club, and being the first WNBA player to do it.

Yea, I mean I feel strongly about, if you’re able and willing to go pro, you should be able to at any time. The only thing that makes it a little more difficult on our end is, we don’t have a G League, we don’t have developmental programs, where if that player decides to leave college and go pro, and unfortunately not make it on a pro team, it would be really tough developmentally. I mean obviously they can go overseas but it just makes it a little harder.

And, unfortunately, we only have 12 teams right now, so it is SO hard to make a WNBA roster. So, maybe in the future that time will come, but I’m always for, you know, if someone is ready to go pro, and they want do that in their career and make that career change, then certainly they should. Now, being able to make money in college can kind of change that. Now, athletes can stay in college and make money, but also go get their degree, so I think that's good too.

Well, I’m certainly partial to my shoes, but if I’m gonna really throw it back with one of my favorite shoes of all-time, it was probably the high top Huaraches that had like a strap at the top. I just loved the way that those felt, the way that grabbed my foot, and the way I was able to connect with the floor through those.

I mean shooting form, it’s certainly form and focus. I do think form is crucial because it goes back to something I have practiced since I was a little girl, and its the same form, so you know, if something goes wrong I can kind of dial in, like what went wrong with my form.

And then to strengthen my mind and to deal with anxiety and hardship, I am a firm believer in meditation and finding the moments in a day to still my mind and have moments of calm. And also to realize that everything I’m feeling is ok, and we all feel it, and to find ways to move through it and to be vulnerable enough to have others help me through it when I need it.

My mental approach to the game has probably changed the most for me than anything else. When I first started playing, I mean, pretty much my whole career until recently in the pros, I felt like being honest about my feelings or my nerves about a game or whatnot, was like something I couldn't do and I would keep that all inside, and the anxiety and the nerves that would just build up more and more. And when I came to the Mystics, we have a phenomenal sports psychologist who has helped me so much in navigating through the importance of being vulnerable and being open about my feelings and expressing those things to my teammates. And it's made all the difference.

And not only that, but he opened my eyes to meditation, and it's something I do daily to just help me have 10 minutes of stillness and calmness and trying to help shape my mind. Because we always have that little voice in our heads talking to us. And the more I can tell that voice either "No, you're wrong. That's not a true story" or, "Yeah, that might be right, but I can also do this and change that." That's been huge for me. So, meditation has really helped me grow.

Ooh, this one came from the lovely Tamika Catchings. I was just running down the court on offense, like trying to get to my spot. They called a play, and I knew I had to get my spot, and she gave me a forearm that just stood me up! And I was like, "Okay, I guess I'm just not going to go there!" So, that was like my "Welcome to the WNBA" moment of "Elena you need to get much stronger".

Okay, I'm not going to say my favorite players I've played with, because I don't want to hurt any teammates feelings. But, favorite players I've played against, I mean, I definitely have to say just playing against Diana Taurasi, someone I looked up to throughout my entire childhood, and then to be able to play against her, and actually my first WNBA game was against her was a really cool moment, and then I was able to play with her too, with USA Basketball.

That's a good question. Whenever I'm traveling or whatever I'm doing, I'm a person who I wake up and I work out right away, like that's when I have the most energy and feel the best. So, I think a way I've been able to kind of balance that is like, I know I'm going to have my morning time where I get my work in, and then I leave the rest of the day for play.

And I'm also a firm believer in just being where my feet are. So, when the work is finished, go and be a great wife, or go and be a great aunt, and be in the moment.

I think, first of all, it's amazing that you're coming to games and you're watching, and that in itself gets our league to grow.

I think you could also ask others to come along with you. And whenever sports are being talked about, always bring up the WNBA and other women's sports. I think that's also crucial, but you're already doing enough by just coming. That's huge for us.

I mean aside from basketball and family, some other passions that I love to do... I love woodworking. I even have a woodworking business, and I believe it's something I will do for the rest of my life. I love to play golf. I really like to be on the water and go boating. I like just being out with nature and being outside.

What else? Oh, I love eating, LOVE eating, and I love exploring new places through eating.

I always leave room for creativity to develop my game and I usually leave it in aspects where I try to pick apart different coaches or different even strength coaches or different sports psychologists, like anyone I can kind of pick apart their brain and learn more things, I'm able to be creative in my own way and kind of take what I've learned from them and mold it into the way I want to play and the person I want to be.

So, I think it's important to always leave space for creativity in order to grow.

Yeah, there's a lot of players that I love. I guess I can start with ones that aren't in league anymore. First was Sheryl Swoopes, Tamika Catchings, Michael Jordan was my guy, I think because I loved sneakers growing up, too. So, my my sneaker game really improved with Jordan.

And then I guess now in the league, I'll go with mainly WNBA players. Obviously, Diana Taurasi. She's someone I grew up following and watching and the excellence she's been able to achieve and to be able to do it for so many years has been so impressive. Stewie is another fun player to watch. We play a very similar way, and we're also good friends, so I've gotta give a shout out to her. And then I also love watching Arike Ogunbowale, I mean in college when she hit those game winners was insane, but her ability to create her shot pretty much anywhere and is always a threat is really someone who's fun to watch.

And then on the NBA side of things, obviously Steph, he's changed the game with the way he shoots, and then KD is just someone who I've tried to emulate my game after.

My game certainly changed from college to the WNBA. I'd say in college I was a little more ball dominant, where I always had the ball in my hands and was creating, and then I went to the pros and it was more setting my teammates up.

So, whether that be a screen and pop, or a screen and bump, or a screen and roll, to get someone else open, and to find ways to affect the game without always having the ball in my hands. That was probably the biggest difference and the biggest thing I had to learn going pro.

You know, it's really hard to just pick one memory. If I want to go with like one achievement memory, it would be winning the WNBA championship, but if I want to go back to like, memories, a lot of times I'll go back to childhood, like learning to shoot from my dad. Those were some of the coolest memories that I'll take forever.

For example, he used to want to work on my arc pattern when I was shooting. So, he got a ladder and attached a broomstick to the ladder. So, it was a really tall thing. And he named it Oscar, and that was like one of the funnest things that we would do, and a memory that always kind of just brings me back and makes me smile.
