OutSmart.com talks with Tot:

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1973, Latasha Byears began her WNBA career with the Sacramento Monarchs in 1997, moving on to the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001. By 2003, she ranked among the top ten rebounders in league history.

Despite her expertise on the court, Byears was becoming more famous for her aggressive style of play, including throwing a ball at the face of an opposing player during one game. In 2003, she told GQ magazine that she was the toughest player in the WNBA.

Five years later, when asked if she is still the toughest player in the league, Byears presents a much different image.

“Hmm,” she ponders the question. “I'm not tough. I'm the smartest now.”
