                         InsideHoops.com editor Jeff 
                          Lenchiner met up with the spiritual leader of the New 
                          York Liberty and got some feedback on the 2002 WNBA 
                          season. 
                        InsideHoops.com: 
                          What are you looking forward to about this season in 
                          particular? 
                        Teresa Weatherspoon: Just winning. 
                          We're just looking forward to winning, just coming in 
                          here and piecing our games together, and looking forward 
                          to winning. Bringing home a championship. That's what 
                          our ultimate goal is, that's what we're working forward 
                          to. 
                        InsideHoops.com: Talk to me about 
                          Liberty team changes from last season to this season. 
                        Teresa Weatherspoon: Well we really 
                          don't have many changes, we have our core group, which 
                          is very, very special, and we have Becky and Sue coming 
                          off the bench for us still, and giving us that sparkplug 
                          that we need, our addition with Corey has been tremendous 
                          for us, she's very versatile, plays the one, two and 
                          three, and Linda, she's going to come along with us, 
                          we're not trying to place any great expectations on 
                          her shoulders, we're just going to try to build her 
                          until she can fit in with us, and all the other young 
                          ladies, Cooper and Susan and all those other young ladies, 
                          they're going to do fine for us. We're just looking 
                          forward to having a great season. 
                        InsideHoops.com: Is there any 
                          one team skill that you hope everyone will improve upon 
                          as the season progresses? 
                        Teresa Weatherspoon: No, we're 
                          going to be fine, it's the beginning of the year, we're 
                          going to peace everything togther, we don't want to 
                          do one thing great, we want to do all things great. 
                          We come here, we try to practice and work on everything 
                          that we need to work on. You know there's a lot of things 
                          that we have to, kinda correct, and we're going to do 
                          that, this team is really focused on what we have to 
                          do to win a championship.
