Dear Rebecca,
I think the WNBA ROCKS!!!!!!!! You autographed a photo for my friend, it was an immense pleasure to shake your hand. I know you meet thousands of people, just meeting you made my summer last year. No, I am not a gooey-eyed teenager. I am an almost 39-year-old chef, who loves to watch women's b-ball. To have a player as positive and energetic as yourself is a gift to the game. Take care of the knee, can't wait to see you play.

Johnna,
Here's hoping you washed your hand after shaking mine and before getting back to your culinary art! I'm glad you are not gooey-eyed ... no matter how old you are. -Rebecca

Becky,
Real quick lesson... You are. You're. You are. You're. Thanks for ur note! -Rebecca

Rebecca, you definitely have a way with words. Anyway my questions are will you be covering the NCAA's again on ESPN and are you going to shoot more when you play pro ball this year? Thanks for your time.

John,
That's a great question and a bit of a sore subject for me these days. I will NOT be doing the NCAA tournament on ESPN this year. ESPN wanted me back and I wanted to do the tournament. However, our good friends at the NCAA are enforcing a rule this year which does not allow professional athletes to do television during the tournament. I have no idea why this rule is being enforced or why it exists for that matter. Like most things the NCAA does, this rule does not make sense to any sane, rational person. Needless to say, I have NO LOVE for the NCAA right now!

Am I gonna shoot more??? I GUARANTEE (money back) that I will take more shots this year than last! - Rebecca

I really love you and when we do projects in school then I always do them on you. when I grow up I want to play basketball and play on the same team as you. I hope that it comes true. And I hope that your knee gets better.

Kristi,
I am flattered. However, I think it might be time to start handing in a new project... your teachers might catch on soon... - Rebecca

I can barely keep track of my own personal life... - Rebecca

Hey Rebecca:
I just want you to know that I wish you the best of luck in the upcoming season! My question is: I watched the allstar slam dunk contest and I really like Vince Carter. He is the bomb. Do you know if he's single?

Sherian,
That's a good question for Chamique! - Rebecca

Hi, my name is Burneeka and I was worrying if you can tell me some information on how to join the WNBA?

Burneeka,
Just like the WNBA to tell you to "JOIN IN" and then not tell you how! The best way to join the WNBA is to trace your hand on a piece of paper and mail it to Val Ackerman! (Either that, or practice as hard as you can on the court, get good grades, and hope to be drafted). - Rebecca
