Rakia Jackson isnāt just lighting up the court for the LA Sparksāsheās redefining what it means to be a modern athlete. In a revealing interview on Never Been Asked by Home Depot, Jackson showcased sides of herself the basketball world rarely sees: humor, style, playful competitiveness, and a surprisingly meticulous eye for design.
From the very start, it was clear this wasnāt going to be your typical Q&A. Asked to imagine starring in a movie with Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart, Jackson didnāt flinch. She envisioned a comedic cabin scenario with no phones, where chaos and stubborn personalities collide, and she would play the best friendāready to nudge Haddish toward Kevin Hartās character as true love unfolds. āRomantically, kind of fictionally,ā she clarified, smiling. Itās this blend of imagination and relatability that makes Jackson instantly magnetic.
The conversation quickly shifted to hypothetical superpowers. Jackson had no hesitation: teleportation. āSometimes thereās just not enough time in the day,ā she explained, imagining herself popping from one location to another in an instant. She calculated that teleportation could cost upwards of $500,000, acknowledging the real-world economics of speed in style.
But Jacksonās flair isnāt limited to hypotheticals. Outside basketball, sheās a ping pong powerhouse, claiming an undefeated record against anyone daring enough to challenge her. Her competitive spirit extends beyond sports into animals, where sheās crafting a new dog breedāa mix of Rottweiler, pitbull, American bully, and even a touch of poodle. Sheās selective with cats, too, charmed only by a one-of-a-kind feline named Coach Keith.

Her take on entertainment was equally captivating. From Kevin Hart as the ultimate āmusicianā GOAT to her guilty pleasure in cheesy basketball movies, Jacksonās humor shines through. She has a razor-sharp eye for style as well, dissecting the WNBAās best-dressed players with almost surgical precision. She lauded Skyler Diggins-Smith for her bold looks, while giving herself an unapologetic 11/10āa self-confidence thatās contagious.
Jacksonās authenticity extends to her sports insights. She compared the Kobe Bryant fadeaway to Michael Jordanās, praising Kobeās angles, aura, and visual finesse in a way that blends artistry with basketball intellect. She even put a WNBA spin on NBA trades, showing her strategic mind in translating leagues and talent.
Even her social media tastes reveal depth: cleaning videos, oddly satisfying experiments, and meticulous aesthetics capture her attention, highlighting a playful curiosity that balances the intensity of professional athletics. When asked about the greatest WNBA player, she didnāt hesitateāCandace Parker and Maya Mooreāand for the NBA, of course, Michael Jordan. Her fictional character GOAT? Hello Kitty, comparing herself humorously to the iconic figure for being cute yet quietly powerful.
Her answers revealed surprising personal habits too. In film sessions, she doodles the New York skyline adorned with hearts and butterflies, obsessively writing the word āmoneyā for its visual appeal. She also shared her amusement at menās notoriously poor handwriting and mused on why style and aura can make one jersey look better than another, a perspective that blends fashion sensibilities with sports acumen.
Jackson is also refreshingly candid about her competitive mindset. If given the chance to steal Caitlyn Clarkās shooting ability, she would, demonstrating a sharp edge that separates playful imagination from ruthless strategic thinking. And when it comes to focus, she blocks out the crowd, distractions, and even intrusive thoughts mid-gameābut she admits food is always on her mind.
Her personal life and creativity shine as much as her competitive edge. She proudly claims her building skills rival Bob the Builder, from vanity installations to mounting TVs, and dreams of constructing a mirror roomāa whimsical, funhouse-style space to see herself in all angles, highlighting her playful yet imaginative personality.
Jacksonās commitment to style, fun, and individuality was perhaps most evident during a bracket-style fashion face-off. From Asia Wilson to Kelsey Plum, Angel Reese to Skyler Diggins-Smith, she dissected each playerās look with loyalty, taste, and a nod to creativity. Ultimately, she rated herself above all, confident yet humorous, reinforcing her unapologetic self-assurance.
In short, Rakia Jackson isnāt just an athlete; sheās a multidimensional personality blending humor, strategy, fashion, and raw talent. From undefeated ping pong prowess to mirror-room fantasies, from movie scenarios to style analysis, Jacksonās interview reveals a woman who dominates every space she entersāon the court, on social media, and in our imagination.
As the season unfolds, one thing is clear: this is only the beginning. Jacksonās charisma, competitiveness, and creativity are unmatched, making her one of the most fascinating figures in basketball today. Fans, teammates, and rivals alike are left wondering what sheāll do nextābecause with Jackson, expect the unexpected.
