Breanna "Stewie" Stewart has been scheduled and busy lately. The New York Liberty forward recently returned from an Olympic run, winning a gold medal alongside the rest of Team USA basketball.  

She's also getting ready for the playoffs (Liberty recently secured the top seed) and is working on Unrivaled, the first 3-on-3 league for premier players during the WNBA offseason.  

"I feel like I've just been in this sprint, not even a marathon, just an ongoing sprint right now,"   

she tells PS in a recent interview about her latest collaboration with Cliff Bar and NGO THE ARK to fund basketball court hoops for youth players.  

Stewart, who has two children, Ruby and Theo, with wife and Euroleague star Marta Xargay, thinks juggling it all may be challenging.  

Stewart, however, feels that by forming the Unrivaled league with Napheesa Collier, she can provide more balance to the team's other mothers.  

Aside from introducing a brand-new kind of 3-on-3 basketball played on a 70-by-50-foot compacted court,   

Unrivaled is paying six-figure salaries - the biggest in women's sports history - and providing all 30 inaugural players with equity stakes in the league.
