## Resource

Chiney Ogwumike is answering everything in the first-ever Q & Ney edition of Chiney Today. Coming to you from Kigali, Rwanda, Chiney breaks down where she is today, what it means to support the Basketball Africa League Finals, and why growing the game globally is so personal to her. Chiney also talks about whether she would ever return to the WNBA, why the Houston Comets’ return hits home, and what it would mean to represent Houston again. Plus, Chiney opens up about the player who made her fall in love with basketball, why Lisa Leslie is “the blueprint,” and how that relationship shaped her as a player, broadcaster and person. She also breaks down which WNBA rookies have surprised her most, how international talent is impacting the league, and why the WNBA is moving toward more pace, more scoring and more freedom of movement. Then, Chiney reflects on her transition from player to broadcaster, the challenges of balancing playing and TV, and why broadcasting helped her rediscover joy in the game. And finally, Chiney advises young hoopers dealing with mental blocks, pressure, and fear, explaining why trusting your preparation is the key to playing free.
