He asked me to come into his office, and I noticed he had, like, four different books in regards to Native Americans, and I was like, "Oh."

(upbeat music) Stepping on the court for the first time as Lady Griz, was super excited.
I felt like, "Is this really happening?"
You could feel the energy and you couldn't even hear anything.
But then at the same time, it would seem like there was no noise at all.

All those expectations?"
And I just tried to just find my center and do what I knew I needed to do out there on the court and just play my role.
