it is an amazing story, and someone who has gone through that, they could not be changed and they understand every moment, and the gratitude of the opportunities, and the importance of how every moment in our life can be taken from us, and b.g. had that happen to her, and so she probably comes into everyday with a little bit more perspective than most people. >> good point. when she went to russia and first detained she was one of the most dominant athletes in women's basketball. i mean, she was a force. so, what can people expect when they see her back on the court this season? >> yeah, she was arguably the best women's basketball player in the world when she was detained. so, it is 10 months of not being able to do that and it is a strain on the body, and she is a larger person, too, and she has been working hard, and a ton of progress, and will she be
