TENERIFE, Spain (AP) — It's been a whirlwind week for Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird and Jewell Loyd. The trio won a WNBA championship with the Seattle Storm and then dashed off to play for USA Basketball in the FIBA Women's World Cup.
"It's been busy, now we are turning the page," said Stewart, the WNBA MVP of both the regular season and the Finals. "We did everything we wanted to. Won a championship and had a parade. Now we are switching gears. We'll have more of an appreciation of what we did the last month when this is over. Now we're just focused on helping USA Basketball and do what we can to win."
Seattle won the title on Sept. 12, sweeping Washington in the best-of-five series. The team flew back from D.C.
