Chat wrap: WNBA Washington Mystics
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Mystics hit chat Tuesday!
Welcome to ESPN.com's moderated chat room.
On Tuesday, June 29 at 7:15 p.m. ET, WNBA stars
and Washington Mystics teammates
Alana Beard, Stacey Dales-Schuman and Chamique Holdsclaw
were here to answer your questions in chat.
The chatting trio is the Washington Mystics core
and round out in the top three of all of the
team's major scoring catagories.
Tennessee grad Chamique Holdsclaw leads the WNBA in
points and is third on the league's list in rebounds.
Oklahoma alum Stacey Dales-Schuman is second on the
Mystics in scoring and, when not hooping it up on the
court, works as a women's basketball analyst for ESPN.
Finally, WNBA rookie and last year's college basketball
player of the year -- Duke grad Alana Beard -- will also
hit chat with her teammates to answer all of your
Washington Mystics and WNBA questions.
The Mystics take on the Connecticut Sun Wednesday night.
The following is a transcript of the Mystics' June 29 chat:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
michaelDC: ms beard and ms holdsclaw is the mystics
will turn around for the rest of the season it is
what are the keys of the next game.
Alana Beard: Michael, the keys to the next game
are containing Nykesha Sales and shutting down
the inside play ... and putting togehter 40 minutes
of intense basketball -- MYSTICS STYLE!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David (Oklahoma): Hey Stacey... how did you become such a great passer?
Stacey Dales-Schuman: I don't know, it's all about
just being unselfish and using your senses to finding
an open player. I grew up playing soccer, in
soccer, you are always kicking the ball to an open area.
That helped me a lot in the game of basketball.
Passing is my favorite thing to do. It's where
my passion lies ... it comes from my inner being ...
and now the girls are laughing at me!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erica: (Sunrise, FL): Hey A.B., When are you going to
stop hiding your super powers and show the world what
that left hand of yours can do? I'll be watching on Thursday
night... You're the best.
Alana Beard: Erica, I haven't found my kryptonite
in Washington DC yet. I'm still looking! I'm sure it will come!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
streetball23, Fayetteville nc: AB u are a great balla
in da WNBA but do u ever play streetball, oh 1 other
question will u marry me?
Chamique Holdsclaw: Yes, we all play streetball ...
and I"m a legend on the courts of New York ...
the name is Da Warden cause I pat people down!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lexi(oklahoma): stacey...to get into the wnba you need to
have a lot of confedence how did you get all of that motivation?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joey, Nj: Stacey, what is it like being a player and an analyst at ESPN?
Stacey Dales-Schuman: It's really tough being both.
One thing people don't understand is when the season hits --
I become stacey the player... and when the season ends,
I become stacey the analyst. It's like Spiderman!
Honestly, it's very tough. The similarity is that there
is consistant preparation for both -- a ton of preparation,
but they are certainly different worlds!
Alana Beard: Sometimes on the way to the game, she comes
out with the wrong attire and ends up in her analyst
outfit and she talks to us at halftime as if she's on SportsCenter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TonyMontanaJr.(Durhamnc): Alana what has been your
favorite thing 2 do in Washington other than basketball?
Moderator: Visit Georgetown. Do some shopping down there
and go to Johnny Rockets!
Chamique Holdsclaw: Alana?! Johnny Rockets is the best
thing you can think of?? Boring!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gris Texhoma, Oklahoma: For all three, do you guys keep
in touch with our college coaches? ---Stacey, thanks
for doing so much for OU. Boomer Sooner!
Chamique Holdsclaw: My coach happens to be the
Player Consultant for the Washington Mystics so I get
to see her quite a bit ... actually, she yelled at me the other day!
Alana Beard: I still talk to my coaches all the time, every day on IM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rm: Hey Alana, you are a great player, i loved watching
you at duke, how much has playing with chamique helped
you adjust to the wnba?
Alana Beard: None what so ever.
Alana Beard: Nah. But seriously ... it's not what she
does on the court, it's what she does off the court to
help me and advise me in every way possible. In basketball and in life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifteen(Bronx NY): Da Warden aka Chamique does the team ever
do pool workouts if so who is the best swimmer and who is the worst?
Stacey Dales-Schuman: Aiysha Smith! Hands down. She was a
swimming major at LSU ... just kidding! but she was
involved in organized swimming.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katie, Goose Creek SC: If ya'll could play for any other
WNBA team besides the Mystics, what team would it be and why?
Chamique Holdsclaw: DC is great, we have the best fans.
I would never leave, BUT, of course -- who wouldn't want
to play in their hometown?! It's New York for me!
Stacey Dales-Schuman: Well, there's no team in
ONtario, so probably Houston for me b/c my inlaws are there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neal (California): A question for each of you: What part
of your game was your biggest challenge to maintain and
improve upon when making the transition from college to the WNBA ?
Stacey Dales-Schuman: Everything. The WNBA is in a class
of its own. It's the most competative league in the world
for women. YOu have to improve every aspect of your game if
you want to be successrul here.
Alana Beard: Ditto!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joey, Nj: Which one of you sings the worst and which one
of you sings the the best?
Stacey Dales-Schuman: Kayla sings the best. TJ sings the worst!
Chamique Holdsclaw: Hey, thanks everybody, we've got to run!
Alana Beard: Bye everyone, thanks for your questions! See you next time!
Stacey Dales-Schuman: Good night!
