ABC15 spoke exclusively to Mercury President Vince Kozar, who was on the homecoming plane, about what that moment was like. 'We got off and surprised her and it was just a really special moment I'll remember for the rest of my life.'
A new photo from the day she flew back home to the Valley from Texas is showing Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner all smiles, surrounded by some of the people she loves the most.Kozar: "We got off and surprised her and it was just a really special moment I'll remember for the rest of my life."
Until that moment and a quick FaceTime call the night before, the only glimpses of BG that Kozar saw were what the rest of the world got - the two-time Olympic athlete and fierce competitor on the basketball court locked up, in handcuffs, and fighting for her freedom thousands of miles from home. "We talked about basketball. How much she missed it. What she wanted to do. What our team went through last year without her. It ran the gamut....and as strange as it sounds, it's almost like picking up where you left off," Kozar said."She is the same BG, obviously, no one can be exactly the same after going through what she's been through, but she's just a really really special and resilient person.
