00:00 So you know we're doing a documentary.
00:03 Three players, Nneka, Stewie, and JJ.
00:05 Those are great.
00:06 Exactly.
00:07 You become a fan of people once you get a chance.
00:10 Exactly.
00:11 We don't know to care about things until we're told stories about why we care about them.
00:16 And we need to tell stories about women athletes because otherwise, how are we supposed to
00:22 know?
00:23 This is the meeting of the CBA committee.
00:27 We are exactly 12 months out before a decision on opt-out.
00:31 And that's what today is all about, is understanding our value and our worth and what that looks
00:34 like.
00:35 Will we opt-out?
00:37 That's the question.
00:38 We're clearly at a moment where things are pivotal in how people are viewing women's
00:43 sports.
00:44 We have amazing basketball players in every market that deserve a story to be told.
00:48 New York CBA?
00:49 Maybe he's going to come October 12th.
00:52 That's game one of the finals.
00:54 We have no choice.
00:55 My mom loves that I'm kind of like a junior mom.
01:00 Being from the Bahamas, coming to the United States to become an MVP.
01:04 I'm not one of the best.
01:05 I'm the best.
01:06 So when you talk about me, put some respect on my name.
01:10 Everyone in the sports world, wake up.
01:12 We all want this league to succeed, but we're not satisfied.
01:17 We need to get past this idea that we should just be grateful for how it is.
01:22 You broke a lot of records, attendance, ratings.
01:26 Oh women's sports, right?
01:29 Hell no.
01:30 For all of the people in the league who work their asses off, I want to be a great mom
01:35 and a great wife, but also a great basketball player.
01:37 We are the premier women's basketball league in the world for a reason.
01:40 They will impact what is next for women's sports.
01:44 I want to see it better.
01:46 This is our opportunity to get it right.
