Cheryl Reeve in her “embrace” with Kayla McBride after she subbed out
“I wish I was cooler and I could chest bump and stuff like that, I almost got knocked on my ass(laughs) it was everything I could do just to stay up. So the hugging was actually her holding me up so I didn’t fall down… these are life long relationships that you hope that your forming and I know I feel that way about Mac”
Cheryl Reeve on Lynx fans, and what they have meant to her
“I would be so remised not to credit how the Lynx fanbase… how they’ve just embraced me, and how I give to them and they give to me, it’s why I’ve wanted to be here for so long. I just think about every time I walk into the bowl for the game, you just feel like it’s family. You feel like they’re all yours, they’re all with you. I don’t need to get on referees, they’re so great at it but no, it’s special and it’s not lost on me”
Kayla McBride on breaking three point record at home while scoring 43
“It’s definitely something I’ll reflect on, and just try to be present in it…I’m just very grateful, I’m 34 years old it’s my 13th year in the league, I’m exactly where I want to be. Coming back here in the offseason was the best decision I’ve ever made. So grateful to the city of Minneapolis for loving me the way they do…. They’re the first ones chanting my name, even if it is my government(name)”
Olivia Miles and Kayla MCBride on the atmosphere of Target Center and hearing Kayla chants at the end of the game
“Kayla at that, that’s wild”-McBride
“Do you remember your name is Kayla?”-Miles
“Sometimes(laughing)I’m like oh yeah, that is my name right?”- McBride
“I mean it’s special, even sometimes when I come out the game I just air-balled a shot, and people are standing up clapping for me… it was special hearing her name chanted, and fully deserved. Seeing a community of people who are truly there to support something they love is so special”
Kayla McBride on her “I’m going to be so open” comments to Cheryl Reeve after Olivia Miles was drafted
“The last time I played with a true point guard it was Courtney Vandersloot and it was some of the best, most fun basketball I played. It’s not that I haven’t had amazing moments with Court, but it’s just something about playing with a true PG, that’s just, you know you get that ball with the laces and that velocity, it’s just like oh, kid in a candy story truly”
Cheryl Reeve on Kayla McBride: “She's an All-WNBA player — it’s disgraceful she was not an All Star — an All-WNBA player, who chased Paige around while dropping 43.”
