At every possible level of play, Lisa Leslie was the most dominant player in women’ s basketball. She led Morningside High School to two California state championships; at the University of Southern California, she was the Pac-10’ s all-time leader in points, rebounds, and block shots; she played on the United States’ Olympic gold-medal-winning teams in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008; and, as a multiple MVP, she led the Los Angeles Sparks to back-to-back WNBA championships. As a tribute to her leadership and paradigm shifting talent, Lisa was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame and the Women’ s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.<p> But Lisa is so much more than an athlete: modeled for the Wilhelmina Agency, author of the memoir <i>Don’ t Let the Lipstick Fool You</i>, television sports analyst, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, founder of several non-profit organizations, and former co-owner of the L.A. Sparks.<p> As if this weren’ t enough, she and her husband, Michael Lockwood, are parents of Lauren and MJ.
