"Everyone talks about age, but it’s not about age. It’s about work ethic. Winning never gets old." ― Lisa Leslie Topic(s): Birthday More From Lisa Leslie "For me, being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever." "I don’t think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn’t have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am." "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 was a little nervous. I said they might not even like it, and say his daddy’s movie is wack, but they loved it."― Blair Underwood
