There is nothing I've been through in my life that I regret, or that I would go back and change. I feel like everything that happened - personally and professionally - I went through for a reason, and I learned from those things.
From Sheryl Swoopes
I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.
Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.
As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.
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.
Sexuality and gender don't change anyone's performance on the court.
I have accomplished everything I set out to accomplish when I started playing the sport at 7. And probably even more.
I never really officially retired from the WNBA, I just left the doors open.
I like to see people doubt me.
To me, the most important thing is happiness.
