Epiphanny was nothing short of amazing this year and with her first major injury this past season she was still amazing. For those that don't know her or never got the chance to say hello her I will tell you that she is a truly humble and sweet person. I know for a fact that she would never toot her own horn so I will do it a little bit TOOT TOOT.
Okay here it is:
Q: Which pair of Jordan's are your favorite?
A: The Superman J's that were designed by a cancer patient.
Q: Who is your favorite player to play against?
A: DT because she is my favorite player and I want to be able to say I beat her. I just admire her work ethic and will to win.
Q: What is your favorite item of clothing?
A: My favorite item of clothing right now would be my Givenchy sweatshirts.
Q: What did going overseas early do for you as a person?
A: Going overseas early made me mature. I was always a hone body. One of the reasons I chose Rutgers was because it was close to home and whenever I got homesick I just went home. So going overseas gave me a chance to live on my own and depend on myself.
Q: Where did Pinky and The Brain come from?
A: LOL Pinky and The Brain is a cartoon I use to watch growing up. It is about 2 mice who are trying to take over the world but really just get themselves in trouble a lot. So if you ever saw the cartoon, 1 mouse is tall with big ears. That's clearly Tamera. The other one is short with a big head. That would be me LOL. Tam and I are really close and we are always getting into something LOL. So we started saying that we were Pinky and The Brain ready to take over the world LOL.

Q: Who is the toughest team to play against?
A: I will say Indiana Fever (Indy). Their aggressiveness and it does not matter what they are doing they do it hard.
Q: What is your favorite food?
A: Right now I would have to say Mexican Food because I never get it tired of it. I also never get tired of eating the salmon, mashed potatoes and zucchini with mushrooms that Ticha makes *wink*
Q: What has having Coach Pokey done for you as a player?
A: Having Pokey as a coach has meant a lot to me. I feel she gave me my chance! She's always teaching me and NEVER lets me off the hook. She knows me as a player and puts me in the right situations. Plus on top of that she is real cool for an old lady LOL HA!
Q: What is the funniest prank you have played on a teammate?
A: LOL idk. There are a lot. But one that stands out to me is when I told Syl(Sylvia Fowles) that Pokey traded me. LOL when she found out I was playing with her she didn't talk to me for a month and she deleted me from her BBM.
Q: What is the song you have been keeping on repeat?
A: The current song I can't take off repeat is After the Hurricane by Jasmine Sullivan. Don't ask me why LOL, I just keep listening to it.
Q: Who would your starting 5 be if you had to pick from any players past or present?
A: That's a tough one because there are so many greats. I don't know but I know Taurasi will be one of them.
Q: Pick one: 1 month wearing the same shoes or 1 month wearing the same color?
A: LOL definitely 1 month wearing the same color because I am a sneakerhead and would never be able to wear just 1 pair of shoes. (FACT)
Q: New York vs Chicago, which one and why? LOL (of course I knew the answer to this)
A: New York of COURSE. I love the Chi but NY will always be home. It's just something about that place!
Q: Do you believe in 1 true love or having many loves?
A: I believe in 1 true love.
Q: As you think back on it, how difficult was it to score 113 points? What was your first thought after that game ended?
A: Thinking back on scoring 113 points, it wasn't easy but it wasn't difficult either. During my high school career I would get criticized about playing down to my competition I had a talk with my coach Apache Paschal (RIP) who I respect and trust. He told me that if I could score 50 points then score 50 points. So I went to my next high schools game focused. I ended up with 39 points in the 1st quarter and 54 at the half, Usually I wouldn't play anymore but my coach decided to keep me in. So I played and was able to score 113 points, I didn't really give it much thought after the game because it didn't hit me yet. I remember it like ti was yesterday though. I was trying to get to the Rutgers St. John game. It wasn't until days later that I realized what i did. For me it was overwhelming because of the media attention I got. (HOW GREAT IS HER ANSWER, LOVE IT)
LOOK AT THE FORM
Again I want to say thank you to Tamera and Piph for being good sports about this Q&A. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I look forward to both of these ladies being in Chicago for the 2013 season (yeah I said it Coach).
