Lisa Leslie Biography

Lisa Leslie, a highly recognized former WNBA player, is known for her extensive career both on and off the basketball court. As a player, she marked her legacy by becoming the most dominant player in the women's game, winning numerous accolades and making historic sports milestones. Leslie's career has been marked by her tenacity, skill, and dedication to the sport.

As a four-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Leslie led the gold-winning Team USA in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008, making her the first team sport athlete to win four consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. In 2001, she became the first WNBA player to win the regular season MVP, the All-Star Game MVP, and the playoff MVP in the same season. This achievement was further amplified when she led the Los Angeles Sparks to their first WNBA Championship in that same year and again in 2002. Leslie is also the first woman to slam-dunk in a professional basketball game.

Her career beyond basketball is equally impressive. Leslie is the Co-Founder of The Lockwood Group within the Keller Williams Luxury division, demonstrating her extensive experience in luxury real estate, business, and real estate investing. As a media personality, she has worked as a sports commentator for major networks including ESPN, ABC, CBS, Turner, and Fox Sports Net, and covered the 2012 Olympics for NBC. She is currently an in-studio co-host of CBS’s sports talk show "We Need To Talk."

Leslie has also made appearances in popular television shows such as "Martin," "Sister Sister," "Moesha," and "One on One," and acted in movies including "Love & Basketball," "Think Like a Man," and "Uncle Drew." As an author, she has penned two books: "Don’t Let the Lipstick Fool You" and "From the Court to the Boardroom." These various roles showcase her versatility and prowess in multiple industries.

Her philanthropic efforts are also noteworthy, having been invited to the White House by multiple presidents. Leslie resides with her husband, Michael Lockwood, and their two children, Lauren Jolie and Michael Joseph, in Boca Raton, Florida.
