Eye of the Storm

On a professional level, she perceives the pressures of performing in the WNBA and revitalizing a floundering franchise as simply part of the job. She knows she must lead the Storm to the playoffs, an expectation Dunn has made clear from the very beginning. At the same time, she understands that it's just as important to get people interested in women's hoops as a whole, adding that she'll do "whatever it takes" to make the Storm a household name, both locally and around the league.

"I understand what's at stake," she says, referring to the future of the WNBA. "If I go out and play the way I know how to play, if I go out and do whatever sort of marketing the team or league wants me to do, only good can come."
