Accepting the trophy, Finals MVP Jonquel Jones shouted out Stewart as a teammate and longtime inspiration, saying, “I’ve watched Stewie be great for so long, in high school and then in college and then in the WNBA…For a long time, she was that person that I was kind of like chasing in college; I wanted my game to be at her level,” per USA Today.
