Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2842971, member: 250"] Oh, memory gap. Lottery quote from Sue is in the same Player's Trib article and worth repeating: The clincher for her staying and playing it out in Seattle was Stewie coming along: "I haven’t really said as much, publicly, because it was never actually that simple, and never [I]only[/I] about this one thing…. but at the same time, it’s like — what’s the difference between “only” and “mostly,” when it comes to a big life decision like this? So I’m never quite sure how to phrase it. But I’ll say it anyway: We won the lottery. We got Breanna. And at this point, I don’t mind saying it at all. In fact, I’m proud to, because she deserves it: One moment, we were just another rebuilding team. [B]And then the next moment, we were [/B][I][B]the team with Breanna Stewart on it.[/B] [/I]I mean, even to call it the “lottery” — that’s underselling it, right? Because the lottery is annual. Once every year, for sure, there’s a No. 1 pick. But what happened to us, with Stewie? I’d say it’s more like once every generation or so, that there’s a prospect of her caliber. There’s a LeBron James, or a Tim Duncan, you know? That was Breanna. We won — so I stayed. And now we’re back." She has a way with words, does she not? [/QUOTE]
