"I think I've done myself in the head," she said. "I've spent way too much time thinking about myself and what I've been doing over the last six to eight years, playing basketball. I've had too much time to reflect, so I need to get back on the court."

As exciting as all that is, you know what the reporters gathered to speak with Jackson wanted to know about first: Her appearance in last month's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

"I really loved them," said Jackson of the shots taken of her. "I thought they were great."

"I'm going to stay here until the season," said Jackson. "Obviously, here in Seattle I get the best care and they're going to monitor my training and comeback."

"10 years," she said, "so I needed the break, obviously. I had a pretty tough year last year. I needed it, and I'm really glad I took it, because it would have changed my career if I'd have kept playing."

When the rest of the Storm joins Jackson in Seattle for training camp at the end of April, it will be a different squad than the one that won the WNBA title. Two of Jackson's closest friends, guard Tully Bevilaqua and forward Sheri Sam, have left the Storm as free agents for Indiana and Charlotte, respectively. Jackson expressed disappointment at their departures, but was excited to learn that the Storm was close to a deal with fellow Aussie Jessica Bibby.

"She's one of my friends from Australia, a former teammate," said Jackson. "We played in juniors together.
