She was an amazing player but she wore out her body way too young. My guess is she could have been just as good or close without going through what she did and would just now be at the end of her career. What she did was not healthy and I hope it is a lesson to others, both players and parents.
And I am not knocking her as a person, I just believe what she did was not healthy. Supposedly when she took up biking after her career ended in the WNBA, she was just as obsessive. Maybe it is part her personality and, if so, it needs to be changed. And I loved watching her fall away shots and rooted for her in the W. And am glad she is happy now.
