For the first time in a long time, Ivory Latta got to say hello to her old Atlanta Dream teammate Tamera Young . (As well as 2008 teammate Kasha Terry .) This time, they would be on the opposite sides of the battle, with each team hoping to get over .500. Latta was the number one scorer for Mersin (2-1) and Young tied for the top scorer for Kayseri (1-2), but it looks like Mersin squeaked by with the...

Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamera Young meet before Young takes off for Europe - probably at a club known as Opera ATL. Clearly, they're going to stay good friends. I got this from Holdsclaw's Twitpic. KariWNBAFaninMi writes "Thats a nice pic. I wished she still played for Atlanta :(". Holdsclaw responds, "You and me both". P. S. @Chold1 also has words of wisdom regarding that Russian...

A post from Eurobasket , which does not seem to have permanent links: Chioma Nnamaka (183-G-85, college: Georgia Tech) inked contract with TEO Vilnius. The 24-year-old guard is expected to seriously bolster the backcourt of the Lithuanian defending champions.

It didn't take long for Chicago Sky fans to find out what type of player Tamera Young is. In her Chicago debut against the Phoenix Mercury Tamera unexpectedly started for the first time this season, she equaled her season-high in minutes played and she defended the league's top scorer, all while helping the Sky to within seconds of beating the best team in the West. “I was turning my practice...

Have height, will travel. Katie Mattera, formerly of the Atlanta Dream (as Katie Feenstra) ends up with the Chicago Sky after the Sky waived Brooke Wyckoff . Wyckoff blew out her ACL and she's out for the year. I expect Art Eckman to take a few trips to Chicago. And Mattera can say hello to former teammate Tamera Young. It looks like the Sky are becoming "Atlanta North".

Quite a while ago, I went to an Atlanta Braves game. One of the interesting between-innings activities was an interview with one of the ushers. He was an old man, and his schtick was that if you named any number between 1 and 100, he could tie that number into Atlanta Braves history. #14? The Braves won their first championship in Boston in 1914. #35? That was Phil Niekro's number, one of the numbers...

(*) These are really funny. Erika de Souza's exhortation is in Portugese...
