Rebecca Rose Lobo (born October 6, 1973 in Southwick, Massachusetts) is an American television basketball analyst and a former player in the professional Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) from 1997 to 2003. Lobo, at 6' 4", played the center position for much of her career.
After college, Lobo joined the WNBA for its inaugural season. Lobo was assigned to the New York Liberty during the league's first player allocations on January 22, 1997. She spent the first five years of her career with New York. However, in the first game of the 1999 season, she grabbed a rebound and as she landed she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in a nasty injury to her left knee where her entire lower leg bent inwards at a 50 degree angle and never fully recovered.
Lobo was traded to the Houston Comets in exchange for their second-round selection (26th overall) in the 2002 WNBA Draft. After playing the 2003 WNBA season with the Connecticut Sun, she retired.
In 1996, Lobo and her mother, RuthAnn Lobo, collaborated on a book entitled The Home Team, which dealt with RuthAnn's battle with breast cancer.
Rebecca was the 1996 spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day fund raiser which raises millions of dollars for breast cancer research and education.
