Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.

Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.

Dream big work hard.

I can’t help who I fall in love with. No one can.

Women play just as hard as guys do. We’re just as competitive.

There was the misconception out there that I retired after the 2008 season, but that was never the case. I wasn’t done with basketball yet, and I’m still not done.

Players don’t really ask for much or want much. But the things that they do need are important.

I didn’t grow up thinking, ‘Oh, maybe someday I’m going to have a shoe named after me.’

Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I’ve won. I’m still the same person. I’m Sheryl.

You have to be positive, and I’m not just talking about athletics, this also applies to life.
