Down 2-1 in a five game series vs. the Aces, the Liberty had a huge chance to win a ring after a series of Aces injuries. In a one point loss, Stewart made just 3 of 17 shots from the field. Are there any comparable examples from history?

People who don’t watch the WNBA need to understand that Stewie is truly the KD of the WNBA.

I love KD. Extremely talented and had a skill set at his height that was unique.

But KD doesn’t want to be the leader of his team. He deferred to Westbrook, Curry, Kyrie, and now is doing so with Booker.

He wants to play, he doesn’t want the running a team/leadership elements the best player typically takes on.

Stewie is the same way. At UConn she played with at least 6 other All Americans her whole career. She was never the leader of the team. The most talented. Yes. Best player. Yes. But it wasn’t her team.

She went to Seattle; was successful..but that was Sue Bird’s team.

Sue retires, and she immediately goes to New York - Sabrina’s team. Sloot comes in. Another MVP in Jones come in.

Story of Stewie’s career. When she wins, it’s always dominant and it’s always with someone else doing the leading.

This time, Sabrina was too young, Sloot too old. And Stewie struggled because of it.

Great player, a lot of skills and talent. But she’s completely like KD..and for me that keeps her out of the GOAT convo.

This just isn’t true she’s won two finals mvps as the clear cut best player on her team something kd has never done. You think a 37 and 39 year old sue bird was the reason for those chips?

KD quite literally did that twice in GS
