This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stucats podcast.

Have some Eric Dacosta sound, the Ravens General Manager,

awkwardly making a phone call to a draft pick that we'll get to.

But before we do that, I wanted to go back in time a little bit,

and I didn't want to address this story until at least some of the participants had addressed this story, as opposed to having the Dallas Wings speak on behalf of Page Beckers and ASEFUD and their relationship.

So I want to get into this, but let's first hear from Page Beckers basically telling us all to mind our own business after the first overall pick in the draft is somebody that she's in a relationship with.

And that's not something that the media has had put in front of them before this way.

And so it became, you know, a talk conversation point for a whole lot of people who don't generally cover the WNBA.

There is something that I wanted to address, and I only plan on addressing it once.

So if we continue to get asked about it, we will refer to this moment in time or we will

use this time to deflect and talk about our teammates.

Quite frankly, I believe me and A's personal relationship is nobody's business but our own.

And what we choose to share is completely up to us.

But as media members, I understand you guys have a job to do,

and you guys have to ask questions about the basketball aspect of it, so that's what I will be addressing today. Me and ASE have always been the most professional. We've always conducted

ourselves as such, and we've never let anything that happens off the court carry onto the court,

and that's what we continue to do. And I'm not entirely sure if this is new to media members, to social media, to new people who are watching the WMBA or women's basketball in general.

But me and AZ are not new to this. We've been doing this for a long time. We have countless reps at it. We have a lot of

experience with it, so we will continue to use that experience to show up and be professionals, great

teammates, great leaders, great leaders, the hardest workers, and continue to show up and do our job

and help the Dallas Wings win basketball games. Well handled by her, but nobody's business but our own, not in this business.

Fame isn't a restaurant menu item. You don't get to choose how you get it, but that's one way
