On a recent episode of Brink's "Straight to Cam" podcast, the purple and gold's star forward reflected on her WNBA career and revealed her 'Welcome to the League' moment — one that occurred early into her rookie campaign last year between WNBA veteran Tina Charles.

"You’ll make a move, and then you’ll be running down the court next to her, and she’ll be like, ‘You should have done this. Why didn’t you go do that move? I’m guarding you this way. What are you doing?’ ... So I would say that was my welcome to the league moment," Brink said.
