"Now considered one of the golden veterans of the WNBA, Smith this season brings her wealth of scoring talent and leadership to Seattle in a supplemental role. Having started her career in Minnesota, this Olympic gold medalist finally got her WNBA title after she was traded to Detroit and then a year ago she helped make the Washington Mystics remove the doormat label that had long been attached to the franchise."

"Katie Smith is the ultimate “old-school” player who just knows how to get the job done."

-- Mechelle Voepel, ESPN

"The toughest player in WNBA history? Yeah, I think that’s a fitting label. But it still sells Smith a bit short. Sure, she’s tough, but also possesses a very high basketball-IQ that has translated into three Olympic Gold medals and two WNBA titles. Be sure to appreciate Smith not just for her toughness but for her all-around, balanced game."
