It's the accumulation of everything.  To me, she's always given off a vibe that she's wants to make basketball more of a hobby and fit it in her life rather than making her life about basketball like we see with most pros.  I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. I commend her for knowing where her priorities are.  I probably wouldn't want someone like that on my Olympic roster though.  That's my point.

Even if you take out the threatening to sit out, when you look at her getting burnt out, switching to volleyball for a year, then playing at a comfy mid major rather than a more challenging school with better coaching, reports of a loss of passion again in the pros, never opting to play overseas to improve her game, etc, it gives off the impression that the prioritization and passion just isn't there compared to pretty much everyone else on who was in contention for the Olympic team.

Other players have skipped playing overseas, threatened to sit out, etc. but when you look at all of these different instances over her career, I think it shows that her desire and drive as a basketball player isn't as high as other players.
