Her father is of Cuban, Spanish, Polish (Catholic) and Ashkenazi Jewish descent, while her mother was of German and Irish heritage. Lobo was raised a Catholic. Her brother Jason played basketball at Dartmouth College and her sister Rachel played basketball at Salem State College.

Famous quotes by Rebecca Lobo:
"There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports."
"Sometimes I played because I wanted to get out of a bad mood, sometimes because I was worried about an upcoming test. Sometimes basketball was just a great way to forget myself. When I stepped out into the driveway, I was no longer Rebecca Lobo. I was Larry Bird or I was Dr. J."
"I think every time I go in a game, I have added something positive. I have gotten a rebound or made a defensive play. That is what I try to focus on."
"I want to be a good person and live my life the right way, keeping in mind that there might be a little kid who's watching what I do."
"Athletes who take to the classroom naturally or are encouraged to focus on grades should be able to do well in the classroom. I believe the reason you go to college is to get your degree. It's not a minor league or an audition for the pros."
"You walk into Cameron during practice, and you think this is just another class building on campus. Then you see the people coming in, and you know why it's such a special place and why people want to play here."
"She's just as fired up. She probably still thinks she never commits a foul."
"They're a blast to watch. Her team has taken on her personality; they're diving on the floor for loose balls."
"My goals have gone from being an all-star to just being able to play basketball. I always took for granted that I could play. Now I know what a gift it is."
"People have to understand what my game is. It's not all about numbers. There's a bigger picture here. I don't create off the dribble. I rely on my teammates; my role is to set screens and get rebounds."
"I have no regrets about my career or retiring. Not once have I thought 'Gosh, I wish I was back on the court."
"Ridiculous stuff happens when I travel."
"I've also always known that I wouldn't be playing for the N.B.A."
