[quote="wnbashockballa"][quote="smenko"]Why is Nolan called Tweety? Hell if I know--I just like the way she plays the game.[/quote


well she said in high school a coach called her that " guess cuz the way she can get up" but she also said in collage theier was like 3 or deannas so she reambered what her coach called her and told them 2 call her tweety (because of collage nd ppl sayin her name wrong was also y she added an extra "n" to her name)][/quote]

yep, that's also what I heard about how Deanna got her nickname, and I also heard that her first name used to be spelled "Deana" and she added the extra "n" because everyone kept pronouncing it "Deen-a."

Oh, and early in her WNBA career, her last name was misspelled as "Nolin" in a news release. I know this because I wrote a book about the Shock ("Worst to First, Or, a 'Shock'ing tale of Women's Basketball in Motown") and came across the press release with the misspelling while doing my research.
