Boys have a tendency to jump around a lot more than girls. Boys have that desire to want to dunk way more than girls do. It just never seemed like something we could truly fathom and do.
Meaning of the quote
According to Lisa Leslie, an American athlete, boys are more likely to jump around and try to dunk a basketball compared to girls. Boys have a stronger urge to be able to dunk, which is something that girls don't seem to want to do as much. For the athlete, this difference in behavior between boys and girls was something she couldn't fully understand.
