It is not often that Elena Delle Donne is nervous on the basketball court.
Still for one of the rare times in her life, it is not a sure thing that the reigning WNBA MVP will make a team. She is hoping to play in her first Olympics this summer for the US national squad in Rio.
"All my family memories and friends were texting me to do my best out there, be confident," Delle Donne said. "They take the best 12 players that play together. It's not going to be the best 12 players in the world. That's the key. Try to make everyone else around me better."
