SEATTLE — Among the Seattle Storm's players and the other sports training staff members, Melony Cable is known as "Magic Mel." New players don't even know her full name, she says with a smile.
The nickname is still a little embarrassing for the Storm's team acupuncturist. But over the years, she's come to accept it as a sign of endearment from the players and her fellow training staff members.
"Now I just take it as a joke, like 'You're magic, every time you touch them,' but it's a nice gesture," Cable said. "It means a lot that we're helping (the players) so much and they appreciate that."
