Sheryl Swoopes & Alisa Scott Love Quotes
While accepting the Spirit award at the National Center for Lesbian Rights' annual gala in 2006 Sheryl said, Scotty is "the best, most wonderful person, friend, lover, anything you could possibly imagine." (Source: Curve magazine, Oct. 2006)
Sheryl wrote in Essence magazine April 2006: "Alisa treated me the way I'd always longed to be treated. Each time she asked me out, she handled every detail. She always opened my door, helped me out of the car, pulled out my chair. Perhaps because she sensed I was reluctant in the new territory of a same-sex relationship, she took the lead. Nearly every day I went to her house after basketball practice. I constantly wanted to be in her presence. When we were apart. I'd call just to hear her voice--then I'd sheepishly hang up when she answered. By summer 2001. Alisa and I were in a committed relationship."
