I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!

I've been a dunker for longer than I've been a basketball player.
The D-League has helped me to get better and develop as a basketball player.

Why can't you be both? Why can't I be on the basketball team but also be the student president?

I was a biology major. But I also happened to be captain of the basketball team and first chair in band.
I played baseball, was on the basketball team in high school, did crew at Hofstra, and randomly played ultimate frisbee, too. But none of the organized teams I was on were anywhere near as competitive as the games on the street.
When you're picking a basketball team, you'll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you're playing the odds.
I have made the very difficult decision to leave my position as head coach of the men's basketball team at Indiana University.
I came to the Bay Area not just to play basketball but to explore business interests.
I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I've just got to believe that we're going to be all right. I've got to just play basketball.
I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.
I was never really a model. That somehow is in my bio. The whole thing is I was tall since I was a child - you're either a model or you play basketball.
