Here Jasmine wrote about finding her love for basketball, as it wasn't her first passion:
I wasn’t always into sports growing up, you know?! I was more into embarrassing friends in Mario Kart than anything else.
But when she started playing basketball, it was clear she was a natural. She got better every year and set her sights on college ball and then the WNBA. Now, she's embarrassing other players on the court rather than in a kart, like when she scored 41 points against Auburn her senior year.
She's ready to do the same in the WNBA. I really enjoyed how when she was drafted, she immediately just started screaming "Let's go!!!!!!!!" to no one in particular. That's the energy you want your rookie bringing to the team.
