WNBA Professional Basketball PlayerBorn in Hartford, Connecticut, on October 6, 1973, Rebecca Rose Lobo was the youngest of Dennis and RuthAnn (McLaughlin) Lobo's three children.
Her parents' career meant that Lobo was expected to take school seriously, and she almost always lived up to those expectations.
The incident was a defining moment for Lobo.
As she later wrote in The Home Team, "There's nothing masculine about being competitive.
There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it.
I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports."
