![When I bought the [WNBA] team, I saw that no one really cared about them. Like the locker facilities that these young women have to work in-they weren't right. I want to give them the best locker room facilities and show them they're valued-because if you show them value, they're going to perform better. And this goes for all women, not just basketball players.](/assets/img/quote-photos/when-i-bought-the-wnba-team-i-saw-that-no-one-really-cared-about-them-like-th.jpg)
