I was in the stands, I was a player for the Fever, and now they get an opportunity to, again, play for a championship in a historic Game 7," White said. She continued by hearing how proud she is of the organization and the ownership group for building both the Fever and Pacers for success, and shared that the state of Indiana is a basketball state, which she is proud to catch on such a historic day. "It's huge. I'm so incredibly proud of the organization. You know, management for building the franchise the right way and thankful to the Simon family for their continued support and belief in both franchises. You know, it's a big day. You know, Indiana, as everyone knows, loves basketball. You know, we're born and bred to shoot it through that round hoop, right? And so for everybody that gets to watch, we get to be the appetizer and then the big show later tonight."
