The answer to the question is Lisa Leslie but there are actually several players that could do it.  I have seen Michelle Snow dunk in warm-ups a couple of times. I know Deanna Nolan attempted two last year in the All-Star game but fell just short of making them.

Famously...Herschel Walker used to take ballet to improve his balance. \n\nOn a side note, Herschel never lifted a weight in his life, he only did push ups and sip ups to stay in shape.....amazing human specimine!

Some do.  There was a story on a U.S. speed skater that donated the money he won to charity.  \n\nTURIN, Italy (AP) - Joey Cheek has his first assignment from Johann Olav Koss: Zambia.\n\nThe American speedskater will head to the African country in April on a humanitarian mission for Koss' Right To Play group, which uses sports to promote a healthier lifestyle for children in poor countries.\n\nCheek donated $40,000 in bonus money to Koss' organization after winning a gold medal in the 500 meters and a silver in the 1,000. Koss won three speedskating golds at the 1994 Lillehammer Games.

Almost every budding figure skater I’ve encountered doesn’t want to spend their time learning swivels, crossovers or turns. They want to jump! Who can blame them? Jumping makes you feel like an accomplished figure skater. The first jump learned by every figure skater is the most basic of them all, the waltz jump. Even in its simplicity, this half rotation jump can be a beautiful jump to watch and master and is often used as the cornerstone for mastering the most difficult of jumps, the axel.\nIn order for a jump to be successful, it has been said the most important aspect is the time spent on the ice two to three seconds before take-off. The waltz jump and axel are the only two jumps where the skater leaves the ice in a forward position. \n\n\nA waltz jump begins with a long glide on a right back outside edge (any edge stuff in website?). The right knee should be slightly bent, or soft, and the hips level. The left leg is pointed straight out behind the skating leg allowing the skater to keep their hips level to the ice. The skater then draws their left skate in behind the heel of the skating leg and steps forward onto a left forward outside edge. Leading with the left shoulder, the skater kicks the right leg up and through to begin the lift in the air. Because this is only a half rotation jump, the arms should be held away from the body. If the arms are held tight and close to the body, it will initiate more of a rotation in the air than necessary. In the air, the skater must transfer their weight from the left leg over to the right hip in preparation for landing. As with all jumps, the skater lands on a right back outside edge, knee soft, left leg extended, arms out, and chin high held proudly high.\nThe good news about the waltz jump is there is not much that can go wrong. If you want to ensure learning the axel is as painless as possible, it’s worth learning and executing the waltz jump correctly. There are several post jump analyses the skater can do to ensure the jump has been executed correctly. First, as with all jumps, spins and edge work, analyze the tracing made by the skating blade. Specific to the waltz jump, the right back outside edge, left forward outside edge and right back outside landing edge should form a continuous arc on the ice, interrupted only by the change in feet from back to front and the distance covered in the jump from take off to landing.\n\nAdditionally, the skater knows they are doing the jump correctly when they feel like they are floating suspended in the air, landing squarely and solidly over the right hip. Landing cleanly on a right back outside edge should allow the skater to maintain their speed and provide flow out of the jump.\n\nWhile gliding on a right back outside edge, the upper body should not be forced around by the edge. If this happens, there will be a tendency to pull your left side back and swing the right leg around the body instead of driving it up and through. Both arms need to drive forward and up, acting as a counter to the forces trying to make you pivot around the left leg.\n\nGreat jumpers are not great skaters. Conversely, sound stroking, footwork and spins all aid in a creating a great jumper. Excellent edge quality is essential for jump set ups and landings. Likewise, spinning is vital in achieving perfect vertical air position as well as tight rotations. In jumping, the skater must use their basic skills as a strong foundation for an impeccable jump. Breaking any jump down into small pieces using the skating technique they already possess will allow the skater to learn specific jumps properly and successfully.

In my personal opnion, I think it depends. Skate and Vert skating are completly different, and both have someone who revolutionized them. \n\nRodney mullen is [well i think] the best skateboarder of all time. He has been skating since he was 8, and now hes 40 sum years old. And he is still a beast!!!! Go to youtube and just search "rodney mullen" and you will get tons of videos showing what he can do. He is sooo amazing, i tried doin some of the stuff he does, and i couldnt even come close. He is just sooo advanced and comfortable on a skateboard its unbelievable. Without mullen, we wouldn't have tricks like heelflip, kickflip, 360 flip, ect.\n\nThen tony hawk,  one of the best vert skaters that ever lived. In the 80's, when skating wasnt "cool" anymore, he still went out with his skateboard and practiced every day. He got a huge deal with birdhouse, which led to him having enough money to create Hawk Skateboards [a branch of birdhouse], His own series of video games [i wanna get the new one so badly!], and of course, when the whole world fell in love with those little finger boards, he had his own ramps and stuff you could buy that said "HAWK" all over him. Do you know how many kids everyday say "I wanna be just like tony hawk!!!" He is probably one of the biggest influences on young people in sports history.&#92;\n\nWithout those two people, skating wouldn't be what it is today.

I don't think celebrities check their email from fans all that often.  What I would suggest is if you have specific questions about figure skating, is to contact U.S. Figure Skating.  Their website (where you can read all about Michelle Kwan...her bio, medals, etc.) is http://www.usfigureskating.org/.  If you click on this link, it will bring you directly to their contact information:  http://www.usfigureskating.org/Contact.asp\n\nGood luck with your project!

I love Sasha but she cannot ever seem to compete during competitions. She has a wonderful grace about her but she needs to stick her landings and she's not doing that, she can never seem to skate a clean long program.\n\nIf she couldn't skate a clean long program at Salt Lake or Torino, why should she put her body at risk so she can fail again? I know that sounds awfully negative but if the shoe fits.\n\nShe needs to retire and go on tour with a program like Stars on Ice. She's a very good exhibition skater and I'm sure there are tons of girls who would love to watch her on tour and she would save her body the punishment of rigorous training.

No but I'd love to try it someday. It seems really challenging. Queen Latifah actually stays in shape kickboxing. She said it's really hard but that it's a great workout and is the only thing she's found that really keeps her in shape and that she enjoys doing. I've also thought about boxing. Jill Marie Jones from "Girlfriends" boxes and she also said it was hard. Both women really seemed to enjoy the fact that they could tackle this form of exercise and become good at it. And it seems like more and more women are getting into these kinds of activities more and more so that's inspiring to me as I've become more interested in trying it. Also Jessica Biel got in great shape with boxing as a part of her fitness regimine for the movie Blade:Trinity. I got a chance to see what her workout was like on the double-disc unrated DVD. Ultimately kickboxing seems like it could make you feel empowered, strong, and tough.

Michelle kwan is older that Sasha cohen, so it depends. Michelle has bee skating for a long time and has been to the olympics a few times. opinons are pretty vauge, but My best answer would be Michelle Kwan.
