Gimme your Mount Rushmore of WNBA or women's basketball in general. It doesn't necessarily have to be the WNBA because obviously the WNBA spans back now 26 years if I'm not mistaken. But gimme your Mount Rushmore of women's basketball. Mm.
Coop. Cynthia Cooper, yeah.
Cynthia Cooper.
Shirley Swoopes. Gotta have it.
Absolutely.
Mm. I really want to put myself because why not?
You can't not put yourself. That is A-okay on Draymond Green Show.
I'mma put myself because duh. And Mount Rushmore got 4 people?
I don't know. Yes, it does. 4 people.
I gotta say Candace. I have to say Kenneth, but now I feel so bad. I'm sorry. Everybody can take— I can take my— my head can be on the side. They can carve it on another side. And I'm just going— because part of me wants to say DT, but then part of me obviously want to be like Coach Staley because that's my girl. I don't know. We just have to carve in a couple of extra heads on the mountain. I can't give you 4. So, um, go ahead and put like two together. There it is.

Okay, well, since you're removing yourself to the side, what, what do you have to do in your career moving forward? Like, you've already done everything. What do you have to do in your career to put yourself all the way on there, like, "Ain't no moving me to the side. I'm here." What more do you feel you need to do in order for that to happen?
I gotta get 2 more chips. I gotta get 2 more. 2 more? Watch it. Yeah. I feel like that's just— it just solidifies me at that point. Because I feel like— and especially if I can do 'em in a row, oh my God, blessings. That's knocking it out the park. But I feel like I'm already up there because being back to back is hard in itself. Like, that's— Yes. Like, that's why when people be like, oh, like, you won your second one, I'm like, please say back to back. Because back to back is what really sets it off. So that's why I feel like if I can get a couple more, like, then it's kind of like, all right, she did it back to back, but then she also did it again and again. So yeah, I'm just going to give myself 4. And also, I'm an even number girl. I'm weird. So yeah, I need 4. And a couple— give me another gold medal. Yeah, I think then I'll be at peace.
Okay, I can respect that. All right, well, I'll be sitting here counting the championships. I know you'll get more, so I'll be sitting here counting them so I can make my own rushmore and I don't have to slide you to the side. That was your words, not mine.
