#WHO PLAYS MADDOX ON A MILLION LITTLE THINGS PROFESSIONAL#

The funny part is I didn’t tell my family or anyone else I tried out before signing the paper. They invited me to a more formal interview after the tryout, and that went well too, so they offered me a contract. I replied, “Wait, isn’t that a men’s team?” They said, “No, no, just come out.” When I showed up, it was such a big deal they had flown people in from around the country, people had jerseys on, and I was in my gray Temple shirt! But it went well. No idea a female player had ever been on the team, so I was confused. I played in Sweden for two years, and then, luckily for me, the Globetrotters asked me to try out. When I graduated, I signed a contract to go to training camp with the now-defunct Houston Comets.

I planned to play professional basketball in some sense. I love the direction Temple is going in, especially the women’s team, and I’m excited for them. Today, I stay connected by receiving news about alumni events and the women’s basketball team. But it’s super important to expand your network. As athletes, staying in your bubble and clinging to your teammates and environment is easy. I wish I were in more extracurriculars, however. We called it Club Tech because that's where everyone was super late at night honing their skills. I remember spending a lot of time in the tech center. I enjoyed it, especially my creative courses, where I learned to create websites and billboards. I graduated with a degree in advertising. I also love Philadelphia it was such a cool city. When I heard that she might be interested in me, I took a recruiting trip to Temple, and I was super excited because it was such a family environment there. When it comes to basketball, she’s done it all, from the WNBA to the Olympics. I transferred to Temple to play for North Philadelphia’s Hall of Famer, Dawn Staley. I'm originally from Colorado Springs and started playing college basketball at the University of New Mexico. There's no going back, but at least she can try and make things right moving forward.Can you tell us about your path at Temple? But I am glad she's back for Gary and his family. It's maddening and horribly sad that Inez never again spoke to her brother. It's difficult not to see her as selfish for that. She could have voiced her displeasure but still been there for her brother and nephew.

The decisions that were made were his to make and not Inez's. But I think it's good that she's back in Gary's life and Javier's too.Ĭhristine: First, Javier was Gary's father. I can understand the old school position Inez is coming from and how hurtful it is and the deep-seated things that may have stirred up, compounded by the fact that her nephew is biracial and already could pass for white, but she just dropped the ball, and I hate that. She could have stayed, continued to pour into him the cultural things that she apparently always did, kept using Spanish with him, and so forth, and maybe it wouldn't have taken him 30-something years to have pride in Javier and all that it represents. I also feel like it was a counterproductive thing for her to do, spawning exactly what she feared in the first place, a nephew who was ashamed of his heritage and who has since had a lifetime of identity issues. Gary would have needed her more than ever when his mom bailed. Regardless of her feelings, she shouldn't have estranged herself from the family. Jasmine: I hate that she walked out of Gary's life and never came back over something like that. That was not worth 25 years of silence and Inez not being part of the family.īut I am not Mexican, so I can't fully understand the depth of pain Inez felt over Gary's decision to change his name maybe that had to do with why she left for so long. It's especially sad because Inez and her brother didn't disagree that Gary was wrong to change his name - they only disagreed on whose decision it was. My grandmother and her sister also didn't speak for 25 years, and this storyline saddened me because it made me think of that. Jack: I don't like the idea of a feud that lasted past Javier Sr's death. Was she right to do that? And how do you feel about Aunt Inez being back in Gary's life? Inez walked out of Gary's life after a disagreement with his father over Gary changing his name.
