Tina Charles isn't one to brag or even credit herself for any of the records that she's broken. That's why Charles' teammate, Naz Hillmon, was happy to do it for her.

Charles is one of the most prolific players women's basketball has ever seen. Her resume is littered with accomplishments, including being the WNBA's second all-time leading scorer. On Thursday, she added two more accolades: the most rebounds and double-doubles in WNBA history.

But you'll probably never hear Charles acknowledge how great she is. She usually credits those around her, her relationship with God, coaches and other WNBA greats. So, since she refused to do it, Naz Hillmon stepped in to ensure Tina got her flowers now. Here's part of what Naz recently told the media (See the clip below and the 7:44 mark of the YouTube video.):
