Thought y'all might enjoy this. From a blog by Cheyenne Parker on Full Court: http://www.fullcourt.com/blog/sue-favor/cheyenne-parker-rookie-lessons
"It's also awesome having some of the best vets in the league giving me pointers and advice about the simplest things.
A good example was when we played New York Liberty at home recently, and Tina Charles and I were guarding each other. When I made a move on her and attempted to score, I didn't. The next play down on a dead ball she just whispers to me, "just go straight up." Nothing too flashy or extravagant was said - just those four words. But those words will stay with me forever, especially coming from such an experienced and talented forward in the league."
I always like these types of stories. I've heard similar things about Tim Duncan giving in-game advice to opponents.
