Lisa Leslie Sports Quotations

Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old.

Boys have a tendency to jump around a lot more than girls. Boys have that desire to want to dunk way more than girls do. It just never seemed like something we could truly fathom and do.

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

I'm probably taller than 90% of the men I meet.

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

Right now I'm 185, which is really good for me yet very hard for me to maintain. My weight seems high for the average woman, but I've got big bones and I'm maintaining muscle.

I am honored to join the CBS Sports family to inspire, entertain and deliver insight on a platform with amazing women doing what we do best - talk sports. I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of such a ground-breaking show. Yet we cannot do it alone. We hope to have the support of men and women'

I encourage girls to play sports and play hard.
