Lisa Leslie is a former American professional basketball player, but she is also a respected coach and a mentor. By being the first player to ever dunk during the WNBA game, she made history in 2002. During her time with the Los Angeles Sparks from 1997 to 2009, she achieved numerous achievements, including three WNBA MVP awards and four Olympic gold medals.
As an eight-time WNBA All-Star and contributing to two WNBA championship victories, Leslie left her permanent mark in the basketball world and became an icon for many young players.
In a recent conversation between Angel Reese and Lisa Leslie for Glamour Magazine, Leslie expressed her pride in mentoring young athletes like Reese and on confidently embracing their authentic self. She said, ?Now, seeing you confidently embrace your authentic self and being celebrated, I feel like a proud mentor.?
On being asked about how she balances beauty and basketball, Reese replied, ?People often expect me to constantly showcase basketball on my Instagram and think it?s my entire life. They may assume that if I?m not posting about being in the gym, I?m not working on my game, or if I?m not sharing modeling pictures, I?m not pursuing that. Balancing it can be tough. But my social media is my personal space, a reflection of what brings me joy and what I want to share. It?s about what I like.?
Furthermore, Reese talked about how she is inspired by Leslie, and she aims to carry forward the legacy of the athletes who prove that femininity and competitiveness can coexist. ?I mean, you?ve always led the way in embracing femininity in the league and in college as well, and I want to continue that legacy. You?ve shown that you can be both girly and fiercely competitive on the court. Knowing that strong women like you and others before us have paved the way, I?m determined to carry that torch forward.? Reese said.
Recently, Reese made her relationship with Cam?ron Fletcher public.
