Sheryl Swoopes speaks about her slump:

"I think everybody gets to a point, no matter what it is you do or what your job is, to where maybe they start questioning if this is what you want to do anymore, or maybe go explore other opportunities. Not that I've done that. In the offseason, I just really didn't have that fire or that desire to dedicate all of that work, to give that commitment to the game that I love so much and that has meant so much to me."
