“I always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted…” — Lisa Leslie

Most people compliment me on maintaining my femininity while I'm on the court. People like the fact that I model. My fans or little girls always say they want to play sports, but also want to be a model like me and I think that's great.

I think it's great for the women to show that they are women and be feminine. And that's something that I've always promoted.

For me, being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.

I have 'the first' attached to my name in a whole lot of different aspects when it comes to the sport of basketball.
