A former WNBA player is in training at my company.....
I could not help but notice the amazonian 6'6" person walking around.

I did some investigating and it turns out she played in the WNBA from 1999 to 2005.

Why oh why would she want that job she in training for? The pay stinks, the stress is high...

Poor woman...

5. But it's not bad pay, considering the WNBA season is maybe 3 months.
Most of the good players in the WNBA also play on other continents (Europe, mostly) for the rest of the year. They make a lot more money overseas.

I'm very curious.. could you tell me where she went to college and I'll figure out who she is.

(PM me if you'd rather keep it off the board, thanks!)

6. Which team did she play for?
When i lived in Charlotte, i LOVED going to the Sting games...

My women's hockey team had a few of the Sting players who regularly attended our games, too!
