Well, the first quality of being a good leader is you have to be able to follow. See, a good leader cant just be the leader all the time, I have to be able to follow.
I've grown so much since 1996. I think that was the turning point of when I started to go to church every Sunday and not just because you're supposed to. But because you enjoy going and listening to the Word and being excited about it
I encourage girls to play sports and play hard.
I don't really consider myself a celebrity. I consider myself more of a role model.
I have 'the first' attached to my name in a whole lot of different aspects when it comes to the sport of basketball.
I still believe I'm the best player. That's what keeps me going.
I like playing against guys because of their athleticism and understanding of the game.
I've never proclaimed myself to be a shooter. But I am definitely a scorer.
I'm strong, I'm tough, I still wear my eyeliner.
My success has surpassed my childhood dreams.
I tend not to get too emotional about things.
Dunking is something guys care more about than girls, There's something about jumping that seems to fascinate guys. Girls are more, like, 'As long as the ball goes in, who cares how you got it there?'
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.
Manu Ginobili is just a baller dude.
