Minutes into the interview, the talk show host Leslie Jones initiated an interesting conversation. Apparently, she asked the Hall of Famer if they both played basketball at their best, who does she think would have won? Leslie immediately threw a counter at Jones stating that it was not a good question and whether she want to do it over. Then Lisa replied, “Me at my best is the best.”?Following this, the statement received a loud cheer along with thunderous applause.

The iconic No.9, Lisa Leslie has accomplished wonders during her time playing for the L.A Sparks. Her overwhelming performances compelled the Sparks to permanently retire the No.9. Lisa further added, “I was the kind of player who can match whatever energy you come. If you wanna fight, we can fight. If you want to play nice, we can play nice. It’s amazing we got a chance to be so fierce and to play a sport that we love. For me, it was really about the next generation. Having that opportunity and that platform to be a role model for the next generation, that is what I kept thinking about.”
