How do they keep going?
That's how I ended up talking to Nikki McRae, Women's Basketball Hall of Famer.
She knows what it's like to be on a losing team.
For most of her career in the WNBA, she played on teams with losing records.
It started with her season on the Washington Mystics, which was then a new WNBA expansion team.
Their record in 1998 was 3-27.
Three wins, 27 losses.
Up to that point, Winning really did follow Nikki.
She grew up in a small town just outside of Memphis, where she'd play basketball outside until the streetlights came on around 9 or 10 p.m.
She played for Collierville High School, where she set four state records.
Then Nikki spent four years at the University of Tennessee, one of the greatest college programs ever.
She was SEC Player of the Year in 94 and 95.
Olympic gold followed in 1996.
Years and years of winning.
Nikki spent four seasons with the Mystics, and every season they lost more games than they won.
And then she went on to play for the Indiana Fever, another losing season.
Nearly every WNBA team Nikki played on struggled.
Even if she personally was making all-star teams, I had to ask her, how did it not get to her?
How did it not get to the team?
And that's when Nikki said something that really surprised me.
