Transcript excerpt

Who does Asia Wilson think she is? Waiting till age 11 to start playing basketball, then dominating on every court since. But who does she think she is? She'll block your shot then back you down. She'll put you in a blender and spit you out. She's too strong and too petty. She's a model and a role model. The nerve. She thinks she can be whoever she wants. And just when you think she can't do more, she does. Two tier scoring leader, three time defensive player of the year, seven time all star, two time champion. And you're telling me she just became the first first ever four time MVP? Who does Asia Wilson think she is? She is who she thinks she is.
