In the Pro's Questionnaire, our favorite sports figures take our abridged version of the most famous personality test, the Proust Questionnaire. Women's basketball legend Lisa Leslie is up. The three-time WNBA MVP, four-time Olympic gold medalist and mother of two tells us why it's tough to be a perfectionist, confesses her love of donuts and shares her life mantra.
Your main fault:

Your idea of happiness:
LL:My idea of happiness really is a choice. Making that choice every single day, and I choose to be happy.

If not yourself, who would you want to be?
LL: I think I'll pick Oprah. She's had an interesting life.
