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 life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
—Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
“He was discontented and wasted his life into the bargain; and yet he rated it as a gain in coming to America, that here you could get tea, and coffee, and meat every day. But the only true America is that country where you are at liberty to pursue such a mode of life as may enable you to do without these, and where the state does not endeavor to compel you to sustain slavery and war and other superfluous expenses which directly or indirectly result from the use of such things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
