"Playing for USA Basketball has meant a whole lot to me, especially being from a small town and then getting to represent the whole country. And we brought the gold back from Argentina, so it meant a lot to me.

"When I got back, they threw me a big party. Everybody was excited for me, saying, 'I saw you on TV. I was keeping up with you.' They were proud of us."
