4SHOT Sports Klapp Presents - "Jabari" Leslie Phillips sits down for questioning "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me"
Phillips is a dynamic player that plays on both ends of the court....effectively. Sweet shot. Pressing D. This young lady is the truth. For some reason, though, I'm hearing she's charged with being a ball hog and having no D. Let's see how she pleads.
Klapp: Who do you consider to be the most influential person in you life? LP: My mom Debra Brown and my grandma Gladys Hagler!!! Klapp: Tell me something about you that if you told no one, they would never guess. LP: I like to write whether its songs or just poetry but I also like to dance!!! Klapp: How long have you been playing basketball? LP: Since the age of 7 playing with Upward Basketball Program Klapp: What drives you as a player? LP: Motivation and Support from family & friends but most of all the LOVE for the game!!! Klapp: All money aside, if you could play in the NBA or WNBA, which one would it be and why? LP: WNBA, I chose this because I'm now playing with the top female players all around! Everybody that steps on the court is GREAT players!!! Klapp: Who is the toughest player you’ve had to face this year? LP: I'll have to say the post players that attend Ramsay High School!!! They weren't big in size but they were strong!!! Klapp: To you, what would make your season a success or failure at this point? LP: To make it a success I wish we had a stronger inside game, that's where we're lacking the most!!! Klapp: What are your post-high school plans? LP: I plan on attending Newberry College in South Carolina with my present teammate LeAnne Watson and majoring in Sports Management/Physical Education!!! Klapp: How do you prepare for your season? LP: Since I like to eat I change my eating habits and get a lot more rest than normally!!! Klapp: What do you think of AAU competition? LP: It's a lot more competitive than high school ball! It gives you a chance to actually be yourself on the court more than anything!!! Klapp: What’s your favorite food? LP: Mostly all pasta!!! Klapp: What your favorite past time? LP: Hanging with friends & family, Listening to music, Movies, Anything that's fun!!! Klapp: What’s in your cd player right now? LP: A lot of underground music (it's a mix) anything that's crunk right now!!! Klapp: Nike, Adidas, or Reebok? LP: "Just Do It" Nike Klapp: Air One’s or high heels? LP: Air Force 1's but high heels sometimes!!! Klapp: Do you have a nickname? LP: Yea, most friends call me L-Slimm or Smilez but I prefer Smilez becuz Im constantly smiling!!!
Klapp: If you could be anything else besides a ballplayer, what would it be? Why? LP: An Actress: I like imitating many people for the fun of it lol!!! Klapp: What do you feel is your greatest attribute on the court? LP: "I have an eye for the court and my all around defense!" I can anticipate most passes before the opponent decides to makes them! Klapp: This one might be kind of tough but.....Name a song title that best describes you. And you have to tell me why. LP: Betcha Can't Do It Like Me- Dem Franchise Boyz, I chose this song because when your on the court every player has a uniqueness about them that's different from everybody else's, so when I step on the court things I do I know they can't do it like me!!!! Klapp: What is your greatest basketball moment so far? LP: Last yr in the state 1st round we where losing to Dalton High real bad and I came back in the 2nd half and hit 5 three's with the help of my teammates encouraging me to keep shooting!!! Klapp: Most disappointing? LP: How we went to the Final Four 2yrs in a row and still haven't won the championship, especially when the talent was there!!! Klapp: Alright, that's it. LP: Thanks Klapp
Off the Record: Leslie keep doing your thing. Defense is like rare art nowadays and you have a Picasso on your hands. Go ahead and turn Newberry out!!
