Catchings finds beautiful 2002 note from Summitt


Legendary hoops star Tamika Catchings is about to finish an amazing WNBA career after a similarly terrific set of years at Tennessee under Pat Summitt.

Now, with the late Summitt gone, fate delivered a timely, beautiful discovery for Catchings. She was cleaning out her garage and found a note Summitt wrote to her in 2002 when Catchings began her WNBA career:

"Great to see you, watch you play and have lunch with you. You look terrific and I know you're glad to be back on the court. I'm proud of you and proud for you. Hang tough through the hard times. You have a great pro career ahead of you."

Perfect.
