Nicole Powell Quotations

No, I couldn't have written it any better. I knew this was a good opportunity when I came here, but you never know how it's going to turn out.

I got a lot of e-mails from friends at school, text messages and stuff. It's nice to know people are keeping up.

It hasn't really hit me yet. Right now, it just feels like I have a big game. But a lot of people aren't playing now, and we've got a week left. I just can't believe where I am now compared to where I was last year.

That was too close for comfort, ... That was most definitely the biggest shot for me as a professional basketball player.

Awesome, awesome. I'm not surprised, I knew she was gonna come in here and ball.

This is one of the first teams I've been on where everyone was so supportive of each other, ... and that's hard to have happen because there are so many thing to deal with like injuries, losses, traveling and being together.

For me, it was a great opportunity to just play here. This award is a reflection of how this team embraced me. I'm just so happy to be here.

It's better than any individual goal. It's always nice to win accolades, but it's not the same as winning a championship. We really are the best team in the world, at least right now.

I've got one already, ... It was just something for us to unite together and to show everybody that we are going to stick together, no matter what.

They've kept us focused, told us never to take anything for granted. As young players, you don't know when you are going to get back to this, so we've got to be ready to play.

That's been the story all season long - team effort, ... It gets the job done.

I don't think this season really changed my game. I was more conscious in looking for that three-point shot. That's what this team needed. But I don't want to be known as a shooter. Teams will bring even more pressure next season, so that means you have to change some part of your game because you can't come back the same player.
