"Whether it's the world championships or leading the WNBA in assists or being number one in the most games played, all these rankings have nothing to do strictly with basketball success but with consistency. It is more about taking care of yourself."

"Watching Sue, as you can see it works," Stewart said. "She's 37, and she's still playing at her best. She has done so much for women's basketball and is still playing at a high level. There are no shortcuts. Every day she knows she has to put work in and it doesn't matter if she is feeling good. "Sue is the best. She is obviously the best point guard in the game. And she doesn't look like she is slowing down anytime soon, which is great for me." [/QUOTE]
