COURTNEY VANDERSLOOT SCOOCHES into a chair at one of the round tables in a drab meeting room in a downtown Los Angeles hotel. If she weren't sporting New York Liberty gear, you would never peg her as a professional basketball player, let alone the WNBA's premier point guard who is second all-time in assists.
That's the way she likes it.
With her blonde hair pulled up in a messy bun, she sits quietly, if not patiently, as she waits for me to figure out my laptop issues. I almost feel the weight of her green eyes peering over my shoulder.
