In this episode of The Long Game NovaCast, Nancy Lieberman sits down with her player, Elijah Stewart, for a conversation about perseverance, growth and what it means to keep getting better with time. A standout at USC, Stewart built his reputation as an elite shooter before beginning a professional journey that took him from the NBA G League to leagues around the world, including stops in Finland, Poland, Romania, Italy and Israel. His path is a reminder that success in basketball isn’t always defined by how quickly you arrive, but by how committed you are to continuing the work.
Now making his mark in the BIG3, Stewart opens up with Nancy about the experiences that shaped him, the lessons learned from competing internationally and the mindset required to build a career on your own terms. From college basketball to navigating the professional game overseas and ultimately finding another stage back home, Elijah’s story embodies what The Long Game is all about: resilience, patience, evolution and trusting the journey—even when the road looks different than you imagined.
