Manu Ginobili is just a baller dude.

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.

When I watch kids play basketball, they don't know how to think the game. They know what it should look like, but they don't know why.

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've never proclaimed myself to be a shooter. But I am definitely a scorer.

I'm a better and more educated person because of basketball.

I don't think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn't have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am.
