Alana Beard Quotations

We got off to a little bit of a slow start but now we're playing good basketball, ... It's important that we keep it going and put ourselves in a good position for the playoffs.

Trees and soils can absorb carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel burning. It would be great to subsidize responsible farmers and forest managers.

Black History Month is dedicated to heroes that paved the way for Black people. It's a month that's very imperative because it gives those who lack the knowledge of our heroes a chance to gain insight. It's not just about the month, it's about the years that it took for us to get to this one month and it's beyond placing a value on how much Black History Month really means to me.

It would be very disappointing, very disappointing. But sometimes things don't work the way you want them to. Sometimes, you have to go through valleys to achieve good things. But right now, the season is far from being over. The only scenario I'm looking at is us needing to win these last three games. We can do it. I have no doubt in my mind that we can. We just have to put it together.

It's going to be tough. It will say a lot about where we are as a team. It will say a lot about where we end up this season. This is a big trip, no doubt.

Coming into the league, that's definitely one of the goals I set for myself, ... The coolest part is that it's my second year and I'm going to be up there with the best players in the league. It's exciting.

Getting Smith was a major move for Detroit. She's a great player. But we can't get caught up worrying about what other teams are doing. We have to win games. That's it.

That's great. Bob better get to work and get some stuff going because she's coming in with a bang.

She's our missing piece. We didn't have a point guard we could rely on. She can rock anybody.

That's my running mate right there, ... Temeka had a great rookie year, and she's only going to get better. We're all going to get better. I love this organization, and I think we have a bright future.
