Cam and Paige were asked about being together with other #WNBA players at Team USA camp and what that meant to have them all together as the continued CBA discussions take place (Q: Kendra Andrews).

#Unrivaled I #WBB
“Unity is the best way to display strength. For us to be together, on the same page, ask each other questions, get to understand what we are standing for and the people before us to pave the way and what we want for the next generation. It’s hard to do that in the offseason. For us to be in that space together doesn’t happen often and we wanted to take advantage of it.”

I asked Aari McDonald about entering the 3-on-3 Unrivaled format as far as it fits w/ her game.

“I’m excited for the format. I want to push the pace & play fast. It follows my skillset. Offensively, you’re putting your defender on an island. I’m excited to just dig deep in my bag & get these dubs.”
