HA! This writer has to get out and meet the people who to have support a family of four for much less than what WNBA players are receiving. Oh yeah and they have to work all year not 3-4 months. "For most players in the league, basketball becomes a year-round job because the WNBA doesn’t pay them enough to support themselves." The entire process can be overwhelming for a rookie but luckily, Nurse has a mentor in fellow former UConn guard, [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/wnba/players/298595/bria-hartley']Bria Hartley[/URL]. “She’s a super woman,” Nurse said of Hartley. “She’s taken me aside, helped me off the court and helped me understand how to be a professional and how the overseas stuff works. She’s taken a hand in that helping me with that.” “She’s definitely annoying when she’s guarding you. It frustrates a lot of teams, it gets them uncomfortable, and that’s what you want in a defender,” Hartley said. “She’s non-stop, definitely a hard worker, one of the hardest workers I’ve seen and when she goes out there she knows she can always rely on her defense.” [/QUOTE]
