Foreword by Earvin "Magic" Johnson "Absolutely one of the best players ever to play the game." --Bill Walton A three-time Olympic gold medalist, three-time MVP of the WNBA, and the first woman ever to dunk in a professional basketball game, Lisa Leslie is considered one of the greatest players in the history of women's basketball. But before the superstar was the child growing up too fast in South Central Los Angeles. Over six feet tall in the sixth grade, with a father Lisa never knew, and a sister she couldn't trust, her life seemed destined to go nowhere fast--another failed statistic in the American dream. Today, Lisa is a poised, beautiful, assertive, six-foot-five-inch basketball powerhouse. Her elegance and charm have made her a favorite with fans, the fashion world, and even Hollywood. With hard-won candor and confidence, Lisa Leslie shares in her own words her empowering story about finding grace under pressure, and exceeding expectations--including your own--by playing like a girl. "There are a lot of young girls out there who look up to Lisa Leslie. I think it's great that they can look at Lisa and say we don't have to make sacrifices." --Sheryl Swoopes, Houston Comets and U.S. Olympic Team "Lisa is doing for women what Michael Jordan has done for young men." --Michael Cooper, Lakers great and L.A. Sparks head coach "She has it all: beauty, brains, and athleticism. She brings class, fashion, and she's sassy in her own way. She has all that and the championship rings to back it up." --Nancy Lieberman, ESPN analyst and Hall of Famer "Lisa Leslie is absolutely one of the best players ever to play the game. She is a leader who works hard, plays hard, and carries herself with incredible poise, grace and dignity. She is an icon and a perfect role model." --Bill Walton, ESPN commentator and NBA Hall of Famer Larry Burnett is an Emmy award-winning journalist and sports broadcaster. He has known Lisa for fifteen years and has been the radio and television play-by-play announcer for her L.A. Sparks' games for the past nine seasons. Burnett has anchored Sports Center and The NBA Today Show for ESPN, and he has hosted the Lakers' radio broadcasts and The Phil Jackson Show.

Millions of people around the world are engaged in sports and games. This volume studies the ways in which engagement is performed in popular culture. We do not just watch football - we perform by being a fan. NBA players do not simply run up and down the court. Instead, on and off the court they perform certain roles, many informed by hip hop culture. Such performances are rhetorical: they manage attitudes, behaviors, and predispositions, influencing the distribution of power. Competitive hot dog eaters, bull riding, and Mexican wrestlers are some of the other sports and games covered by the contributors. The book is unique in bringing together the three themes of sports and games, performance, and the rhetoric of popular culture, and is relevant for both scholarly use and classroom adoption in courses ranging from sport and society, rhetoric, composition, persuasion and argument, and popular culture.

For as long as she could remember, her life has always been in turmoil. With a drug abusing mother and an abusive step father, Sophie, an intelligent, pretty girl, has a desire to escape the hell that her life has become. She successfully hides her scars from the world, but keeps them close to her hardened heart. Trained by the best, Sophie has a short fuse and the skills of a trained killer. Often finding herself unable to tame the monster within, she is tempted by the dark side more times than she can count. Unfortunate circumstances occur in her life, which threaten to pull the darkness that she strives to keep buried deep inside to the surface. Once that darkness is freed, Sophie is unable to recapture it to lock it away. Traumatized by her abusive childhood, haunting memories fuel her inability to love. But soon, Sophie finds her inability to feel challenged when she meets an irresistible man that gives her a glimpse of what falling in love could mean for her life. Stunned by the amount of love that she feels for him, she is finally ready to open her heart and experience true love. Unfortunately for Sophie, life never goes that smoothly for her. Her overbearing, overprotective stepfather has plans for her life that do not include her falling in love. The secrets from her past that she has been harboring have a horrifying hold on her and refuse to remove their grip from her life. Driven by love, lies and murder, she finds herself making decisions that could, in the end cause her to lose everything, when the past comes knocking on her door. She has choices to make. Choices that could either pull her towards love, or pull her deeper into the darkness.
