Personal Life
McCants' sister, Rashanda McCants of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock, played for the University of North Carolina women's basketball team that went to the Final Four in 2006 hosted in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. Rashanda used the same number, 32, as Rashad used at UNC. She also followed her brother's footsteps as a professional basketball player when she became a WNBA player on April 9 of 2009. Coincidentally, she was drafted by the Minnesota Lynx and started her professional career in the same city where her brother did.
Rashad is also the cousin of San Diego Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin and third cousin of Canadian Football League running back John Avery.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
