E hoʻāʻo i kēia mau hoʻomaʻamaʻa koʻikoʻi 9 e hoʻokokoke aku ai iā ʻoe i ʻeono-Pack Abs.)

Kinohi: Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ma ke aloaliʻi a i ʻole ka hale haʻuki, he aha kāu e hana nei?

Skylar Diggins (SD): Aloha au i ka huakaʻi, ʻo ia ka maikaʻi no ka mea he nui kaʻu hele ʻana me ka nānā ʻole. Ua hoʻi mai nei wau mai ka Life is Beautiful art a me ka hoʻolauleʻa mele ma Las Vegas! Kupaianaha ia. ʻO kaʻu ipo kāne kekahi o nā mea pena kiʻi kiʻi i laila, no laila ua hele wau e nānā i ka hoʻolauleʻa a ʻike iā Stevie Wonder a me Kendrick Lamar e hana ana. Nui wau i ka mele a hele i nā ʻahamele-ʻo kekahi o kaʻu mau mea pena kiʻi punahele i kēia manawa ʻo Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rhianna, Pharrell, Jhene Aiko, a me Alina Baraz. Aia kahi leo no nā mea a pau-ʻo ke ʻano o kou ʻano.

Kinohi: Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe he mea pāʻani pāʻani, he aha kāu ʻoihana moeʻuhane maikaʻi loa?

SD: Loaʻa iaʻu kahi kekelē ʻoihana mai Notre Dame, no laila makemake wau e hana i kekahi mea ma ka ʻoihana. Makemake wau e lilo i CEO no kahi ʻoihana Fortune 500. ʻO wau ke noho aliʻi a me ka poli, no laila makemake wau i laila. ʻO wau kahi kiaʻi kiaʻi-haʻi wau i ka poʻe 'Hana i kēia! E hana i kēlā! Ke holo nei mākou ma kēia ala!' He ʻelele au.

Kinohi: Loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi mau hana ma mua o ka pāʻani?

SD: Nui loa ka inoa! Quirky wau! ʻO kekahi o kaʻu mea nui loa, ka wā, makemake wau e ʻōlelo i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā mele mele i kēlā me kēia lā. Ke nānā mai nei nā kānaka iaʻu me he mau poʻo ʻekolu koʻu, a ʻakaʻaka paha lākou ke hana au i kaʻu mau kuhikuhi. Akā ma mua o ka hele ʻana o kahi pāʻani, ʻo koʻu kāʻei poʻo koʻu pūlima-ʻo ke ala aʻu e kau ai, i ka wā aʻu e kau ai, ʻo ka hana maʻamau. A ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo ka hana maʻamau ia e kōkua iaʻu e mākaukau e pāʻani. E like me ka wā e loaʻa ai iaʻu nā kāmaʻa basketball hou, kākau wau i nā leka iā lākou! Ua hoʻouna mai koʻu makuahine iaʻu i kahi ʻōlelo hoʻoikaika ma mua o kahi pāʻani, a pono mau wau e heluhelu a kamaʻilio pū me ia ma mua o nā pāʻani. Kōkua ʻo ia iaʻu e noho i loko. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomanaʻo i kahi manawa aʻu i kamaʻilio ʻole ai me ia ma mua o kahi pāʻani, e hoʻi hou ana i ke kula waena. (Pono i kahi mantra hou?

Kinohi: Make-up i ka lā pāʻani: ʻae a ʻaʻole paha?

SD: Ua maikaʻi wau me ia-ʻaʻole wau makemake e loaʻa i kahi helehelena piha o ka make-up no ka basketball. ʻAʻole hiki ke pale ʻia me ka hou āpau e pau ai kāu kāwele! Mālama wau i ka maʻalahi, malia paha he wahi mascara paha. ʻAʻole wau e hele a hoʻokūkala i kahi pāʻani!

Kinohi: ʻO wai kāu kaikamahine haʻuki?

SD: Aloha au i ka Serena Williams e hana nei-he mea kupanaha ia! ʻO nā mea a pau mai ke ʻano o kāna hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana a hiki i kona ʻano hoʻokūkū a me ka paʻakikī o ka noʻonoʻo, ʻokoʻa nā hoʻomaikaʻi āpau. Aloha au iā ia Sassy a ikaika. Loaʻa iā ia kahi haʻuki, ikaika, ʻano o ke kino a he nui ka poʻe hilahila ʻole mai kēlā. Lawe nui ʻo ia i ka nānā no ia mea, akā ke nānā aku nei au iā ia, ʻuhane wau. Nui kona kūpaʻa a me kona hilinaʻi iā ia iho a me kona kino. He mea ia e ʻike ai nā kānaka, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine ʻōpio kala. E nānā i nā pale a pau i hiki iā ia ke uhaki. A ʻo kāna mea a me Venus i hana ai no ka male kāne ma ka tennis kahi mea a mākou e hakakā nei no ka WNBA.

Kinohi: He aha ka mea craziest loa i loaʻa iā ʻoe mai ka hele ʻana pro?

SD: Manaʻo mau wau he pupule ke ʻike i kaʻu poʻe pā. No ka laʻana, he kumu hoʻohālike Nike wau a loaʻa kēia mau hoʻolaha honua. E hoʻouna mai nā poʻe ma Farani, Kelemānia, a me Iapana iaʻu i nā kiʻi o lākou iho i mua o kēia mau hae nui a me nā papa hoʻolaha me koʻu mau maka. He mea ʻē kēlā mea! ʻAʻole au i ʻike iaʻu iho i kēlā mālamalama, no laila, i koʻu ʻike ʻia ʻana i loko o nā hoʻolaha like a kekahi o kaʻu mau mea haʻuki wahine punahele e ulu ana i loko, noʻu e lilo ia no nā kaikamahine ʻōpio ʻē aʻe, he haʻahaʻa.

Kinohi: ʻO ka nānā ʻana a me nā helu helu no nā pāʻani WNBA ma ke kīwī i piʻi i ka makahiki i hala. He aha kāu i manaʻo ai i lawe hou mai i nā mea pā i ka pāʻani?

SD: Ke hana nei nā wāhine i nā mea āu i ʻike ʻole ai ma mua o ka pāʻani ʻana ma luna o ka rim, ke wikiwiki nei ka pāʻani, ua hoʻololi ʻia nā lula, a ua piʻi ke kiʻekiʻe o ka manawa a me ke akamai o ka pāʻani. He manawa maikaʻi kēia e nānā. A ʻo ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka poʻe nānā e pili ana i ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana i ka poʻe i ka wā o ko mākou kau (ʻo Iune a Kepakemapa, FYI!) ʻO ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i hele mai e ʻike i kahi pāʻani makemake e hoʻi hou.

Kinohi: Pehea kou manaʻo e pili ana i nā haʻuki kāne ke nānā pinepine? Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka uhi pōpeku wahine ma mua o nā kāne i kēia makahiki; Manaʻo ʻoe e pili paha ia i ka WNBA?

SD: Lana koʻu manaʻo. Kūkākūkā ka poʻe e pili ana i nā mea a pau hiki ʻole iā mākou ke hana ma ke ʻano he wahine, akā ʻaʻohe mea e nānā i ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hana a me kā mākou hiki. Ma ke ʻano he mea pāʻani, pono mākou e hoʻomau i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i kā mākou pāʻani. Pono mākou e noho a loaʻa. I ka wā o ke kau, he nui nā mea pāʻani WNBA e hele i nā ʻāina ʻē e pāʻani. He kuleana ʻole ia e hōʻole nā ​​mea pāʻani i ka nui o ke kālā i loaʻa ma laila, he hana kā lākou e pāʻani ai hiki iā lākou ke hoʻolako i nā ʻohana. Akā me kēlā, ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea pāʻani ke komo pū i ka US me ke kūʻai aku ʻana o ka WNBA e like me ko lākou makemake. ʻOi aku ka hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopuka i ko mākou leo ​​i laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. ʻO kēia ka makahiki o ka wahine haʻuki wahine, a he mea nui loa ia i ka ʻOlumepika, kahi e ʻike ai mākou i nā moʻolelo maikaʻi hou aʻe e pili ana i nā wahine a e ʻike ai i kekahi mau haʻuki kuʻuna ʻole. ʻOiai e loaʻa ana iā mākou nā kaha e hana ai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka neʻe mālie ʻana ma mua o ka neʻe ʻole ʻana.
