“The great ones adjust” - Andrew F. Dixon

[Elise Paulson @EMcKennaP]

The great ones adjusted, honored a legend, shared many exaggerated stories, said a sticky goodbye to Kam’s, and experienced a great Illini victory. It was so good to be "home". 🧡💙🧡

We've now reached the stage of grief where I'm wondering what I could've done differently to help the team.

Crystal Bradford never gave up.

In 2023, she shared her journey to the @WNBA: “Pretty much straight from the jump, my W career has been about me trying to shake off labels. When I got drafted by the Sparks in 2015, I found out that my knee hadn’t healed from PCL surgery. Instead of controlling what I could, I just became negative and angry. I’ll admit, I had a bad attitude. So I was in and out, getting a few minutes here and there. Then I get a call from the GM: ‘Hey Crystal, we’re letting you go.’

This idea that teams had that I was toxic? That started with me, and I own that. It was like one moment of immaturity became my whole reputation....

I started to abuse alcohol, and my negative thinking got worse. When I was finally able to work with someone, I remember asking, ‘Are there better ways to cope through my days? I think I need a routine.’ But instead of giving me tools, the doctor suggested more medication. ‘We’re going to put you on Prozac.’ That deflated me completely.

That’s when I started to think about killing myself. It wasn’t just for a hot second either. I thought about it for years. There wasn’t really a day that I didn’t think about it, if I’m being honest. I really just wanted to let it all go....
To you, it’s all jokes. To me, it’s my fucking life. After the season, Atlanta chose not to re-sign me. I think something broke in me after that. And it just got dark for a while. I felt exposed. Just end it, Crystal. That’s what the negative voice was saying. You’re not cut out for this league. Shit, you’re not cut out for this world....

My story is mine. I know it’s unique, and that’s O.K.

I still have my learning disability. I still have ADHD. When people hear my story, I don’t want them to feel sorry. I want them to be like, Dang. She rose above everything. I hope people see my passion, my energy, and my resilience. I’m human, and I’m learning as I go.” https://t.co/LNrihfdDJj
