ReplyI love their chemistry. And I feel so much respect for both of them, beautiful role models.

ReplyI’m a tall gal also: 6′ tall with 3′ long legs & size 14–16. When I was in my 20s, Lane Bryant was the only store that had a tall section (online only). Growing up, either my Mom or I made most of my clothes. I used to buy guys’ jeans at the GAP. Later on, KMart sold Route 66 jeans for women, which came in Talls. I also had trouble finding shoes. I wear a 10-1/2 C in the front & A in the back. I always said that if I had unending amounts of money, the first thing I would do was have shoes made specifically for my foot. Don’t even get me started on trying to find boots that fit- LOL.
When I was in Jr HS, a random Woman came up to me & my Mother, & complimented me on the fact that I was sitting in a chair & standing up with my back stick-straight up instead of slouching. She said I was the first tall girl she had ever seen who didn’t try to hide her height. I told her that I was proud to be 6′ tall & that I came from a family with tall Women. My Mom’s 2 Sisters were also 6′ tall.
I’m so glad that women’s sports are getting more attention. Women are fierce competitors. Yes, they play for the love of the game; they also play To Win. We Women need to support our Sisters; we need to attend Women’s games just like Men attend Male-dominated sports. Girl Power!
ReplyI liked when Leslie said no one belived in the WNBA but just look at it now. Ok let’s look at it. It loses 12 million a year for 25 years. And the ONLY reason it’s around is because NBA subsidies it. No one watches it. Lol

ReplyStill upset she tried to shame nba into giving more money to the wnba!!!
ReplyBiggest question that I have for these two beautiful women that was not addressed in interview, do they know if they have ever been a puzzle answer on Wheel or other show? Come on, “LISA LESLIE JONES” would be wonderful. 👏👏👏👏
Reply11:52 _”How can you make this money make money for you?!”_
Reply> Money doesn’t make money. (Other) People make money (for you).
Love them 😍
ReplyI was already (chronologically) an adult when I learned tall girls didn’t like it or felt awkward. Immediately thought that was nuts. Tall girls are awesome. (Being the obnoxious type, if I dated a tall girl, used to say I kept her around for protection).
ReplyI see that previous episode with Dreymond had her humble herself a bit.
ReplyLIVING LEGEND!!!!!! THE GOAT.
ReplyGreat chemistry men, respect!
ReplyThis was a great interview! Very encouraging and motivating
