Podcast appearances and mentions of Breanna Stewart

SNY's top 10 New York athletes list has Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber furious over rankings they believe are inconsistent, biased and impossible to defend. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, as they question how Brian Burns and Matthew Schaefer were left out while Josh Hart, Francisco Lindor and Breanna Stewart made the cut. Even OG Anunoby's placement above Karl-Anthony Towns comes under fire. The conversation then shifts to England's World Cup collapse against Argentina. Tiki explains how Thomas Tuchel's decision to sit back in a low defensive block gave Lionel Messi the space to take over, turning a one-goal lead into a prevent-defense disaster.

SNY's top 10 New York athletes list sends Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber into a full-blown revolt. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and while Jalen Brunson and Aaron Judge are accepted as the obvious top two, the rest of the rankings are ripped apart for their glaring inconsistencies. Brian Burns and Matthew Schaefer are labeled outrageous omissions, while the placements of Josh Hart, Francisco Lindor and Breanna Stewart turn the debate into an argument over performance, popularity and SNY's potential bias. Tiki also explains how England's prevent-style defense gave Lionel Messi the space to engineer Argentina's comeback, sparking a countdown of the worst coaching decisions in sports history. Plus, Shaun challenges soccer's mysterious stoppage-time clock, the show examines the Yankees' financial maneuvering, and callers weigh in on whether star power or actual performance should define New York's best athletes.

"We know as the players grow, the league grows and vice versa, so we aren't settling for anything less than we've earned." Breanna Stewart March celebrates all the amazing women out there and we were pumped to sit down with one of the greatest female athletes of this generation who isn't just a legend on the court, but a superstar in all aspects! Basketball royalty Breanna Stewart joins The Pivot Podcast for a powerful conversation about leadership, legacy, and the future of women's basketball. Fresh off winning a championship in Unrivaled Basketball, a league Stewart and her former teammate Napheesa Collier created, Breanna is preparing to etch her legacy in stone even more as she is at the forefront of a historical moment for the WNBA. Breanna opens up about her role in helping shape the WNBA's next collective bargaining agreement and why this is critical for the league's continued growth. She shares insight into how players are pushing for improved salaries, revenue sharing, better working conditions, and long-term sustainability as the popularity of women's basketball reaches new heights. The foundation was built from strong women like herself, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi to the new energy of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Aja Wilson and Paige Bueckers...Women's sports is drawing millions of viewers worldwide. Stewart also discusses the vision behind the new Unrivaled league and why creating more opportunities for WNBA players during the offseason was so important. She explains how the league is designed to keep elite players competing in the United States while giving them greater ownership, financial opportunities, and a stronger voice in the business side of the sport. With more eyes on the sport than ever, the challenge to get it right is one of the most defining opportunities in her career. The conversation also reflects on Stewart's iconic journey—from becoming one of the greatest players in UConn history with four National Championships to winning three WNBA titles to MVP honors to the privilege of playing and winning gold for her country with Team USA . She talks about the pressure that came with being a generational talent, how those expectations shaped her competitive mindset, and what she hopes her legacy will be as the women's game continues to evolve. Off the court, Stewart shares how motherhood and marriage have changed her perspective on life and basketball. She speaks candidly about balancing family with the demands of being a professional athlete, how becoming a mom has influenced her leadership, and the importance of building a future where the next generation of players—and young girls watching—have more opportunities than ever before. No stranger to using her platform for change, Stewart is a powerful voice in cultural and society issues as well as an advocate for women of sexual abuse. From the young girl who learned competition the hard way to now on the front lines advocating for the growth of women's sports, Breanna Stewart continues to push the game forward while competing at the highest level. It's a powerful discussion about impact, ownership, and using your platform to change the game. Pivot Family!

This week, Emily sits down with Alexandria Gilleo, a celebrity makeup artist and wellness entrepreneur who has worked with icons like Sue Bird, Ali Krieger, and Breanna Stewart. Alex shares the story of her sudden health crisis—a diagnosis of endometriosis that nearly led to emergency surgery on leading up to a what was supposed to be an epic trip to the Paris Olympics. The conversation explores how Alex navigates the high-pressures of her work with balance living in th Hudson Valley. She details her #hurdlemoment following the loss of her father, which served as the catalyst for her deep dive into holistic wellness. IN THIS EPISODE The "Sue Bird Method" of varying glam levels. Alex's non-negotiable morning and night rituals, featuring red light therapy and classical music. The power of manifestation and "execution boards." Why skin prep is the most important part of a long-lasting look. The evolving synergy between beauty and women's sports. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I really try to sit down with them and look at their face and see what is going to help with making them feel the most beautiful, confident person on the field, off the field, on the court, whatever it is." "I feel like this generation of athletes understands that beauty can be utilized as a tool. Makeup is not necessarily a mask ... it’s more about amplifying the look and showing the world every side of who they are." "In order to get what it is that you want, you have to act like you already have it. You have to own it and be so confident with it." "Everything is figure-outable. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how dark, how lonely, how sad, how heartbreaking something can feel, it's always going to get better."
