Baller Profile: Jelena Krsmanovic
| October 7, 2008
Jelena is the only female baller daring to play at the known court of Sants in Barcelona against all the guys. She can shoot you out easily from the three point range if you underestimate her in defence.
She is a very nice person out of the court, but she does not hesitate to show her fierceness and aggressiveness when playing. She will defend as hard as needed to stop her match up, whether it is a male of female baller.
