That was dumb for the other girl to keep trying to lay it in after she kept blocking her attempts. She should've been smart and passed the ball to another teammate after the 1st block cuz Lisa clearly stood right next to her each time she attempted 😂
@@Anymous578 no she wouldn't lol. I have played against a wnba player before lol. Literally. Well she was still in college at the time. Females just aren't quick enough
I remember watching the first game of the wnba. Sparks vs Liberty. I’ve been a Sparks and Storm fan for a long time. My daughter who is 6 mentioned that girls don’t play basketball. I just told her watch… showed her this clip of Lisa Leslie. Obviously I knew what number 1 was but, in number 6 my daughter again said but girls can’t do a lot of things but can. I told her girls can do as much as boys Can some even better at a lot of different things… countdown kept going, number 1 showed up and as soon as Lisa dunked the ball I got so teary eyed remembering that dunk. My daughter couldn’t grasp that she was able to dunk that I had to show her 3 more times. I told her “see, I’m a boy and I can’t dunk” she said she wants to do that. I told her we’ll start with the basics first… thank you WNBA and thank you to Los Angeles Sparks and to Seattle Storm and to my favorite WNBA player Lisa Leslie all are inspiration to the future of our daughters.
This league had so many more fans in attendance at the start and halfway into this century. Hard to imagine how a league as young as this hasn’t figured out how to market its players. It’s gotten to the point where they now have to play in smaller arenas than the NBA ones they used to play in. Sad. League has a world of talent with zero direction as far as growing its fanbase. In recent years,there have been head scratching times that games have come on. They have had 1 PM games on week days. The entire league would have a random day like Mondays off. They have 2 games a night some nights. Can’t grow a league like that. Doesn’t help that there is minimal commercials or advertisement for the league. Whoever is in charge of marketing is asleep at the wheel and has been for years.
This is such an excellent assessment of the conundrum that is the league. Put a lot into perspective for me. I hope there’s still time to salvage the situation!
@@InvisibleBlues This take might actually be a couple of years old though. The WNBA has more people paying attention to it right now than ever. That's probably why they're having their most nationally televised games ever this season. "For the first five games aired on ESPN this year, viewership was up 74% over 2020 and up 45% from 2019, while, on ABC, numbers are up 28% from last year." I don't stream it on the app, but it seems like that could use some fixes since fans seem to complain a lot about it. Certainly wouldn't help with new fans using the service. WNBA could be better, but to make it like it's doing worse than it ever has when it's more popular than ever is kinda wild.
With all due respect the no 2 highlight was 3 blocks of which the last two Leslie did not get off the ground by more than a couple inches. Point is, these are career highlights. Hence the pay gap with the NBA.
You are not out of your mind. A local boys high school team scrimmaged the Detroit Shock and won. They were a very average high school team with no D1 college talent.
South Korea = KOR = ROK = Republic of Korea's WKBL women's professional basketball highest-paid player is 315,000 dallars. But, WNBA women's professional basketball is highest-paid player is 224,000 dallars. The world's highest professional basketball league WNBA is 91,000 dallars less than WKBL's highest-paid player. I hope that the salaries of WNBA players, the world's highest professional basketball league, will be treated as the world's highest. NBA Stephen Curry's salary is $4.7 million, but the WNBA player's salary seems to be too low.
You meant $47 million. It may seem wrong at first glance but you have to get the full story. There is a salary cap in the WNBA, I’m not sure if there is one in WKBL. Salary cap restricts the amount a team can pay a single player and also the roster of players. The WNBA as a whole loses ~$10million per year in profit. The NBA subsidizes the WNBA every year so they can operate. The WNBA in 26 years of existence has never once turned a profit. At this point the WNBA seems like a charity league for women created by the NBA, you really can’t compare the salary of NBA STARS to that of the WNBA because the WNBA is 100% reliant upon the success of the NBA
She need to come out of retirement and be the women that plays in the nba not the wnba and THE LAKERS NEED A CENTER but fr lisa was the goat of the wnba and she was great and I get tired of wnba toxic comments not really a fan but it is entertaining I also think philly, nj ,birmingham or montgomery need an wnba team
For All yal wack comments says LL not all that. I bet you couldn't guard her in her Prime! LL scored 101 points in High school in 16 minutes 🙏💯 Embarrassed other school sooooo bad, they quit before she broke, Cheryl Miller record of 105 points! Get a freaking clue! If you any real ass basketball fan, you respect the game of people that might not have been from your era! That's why I know half these ridiculous comments are from fools ain't NEVER really balled, except elementary! Lisa, did just as much for the Sparks, as Kobe did for the Lakers! Plus Lisa went to Morningside high and USC, a local talent! Lisa is also a broadcaster, and her Husband is a Pilot, and they Still married to this day! A Olympic Athlete, repeatedly! STOP IT!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Got chills when she dunked the ball. One of the best sport memories in recent history.
No
I’m crying because that shit got gassed up so much but I could without a doubt dunk exponentially better than that.
Damn near made me 😢
Oh stop it 😂😂
bag
I remember watching Lisa Leslie dunk for the first time and I was all there for it. Had the biggest crush on her! Awesome player.
After watching her grace during the Gayle interview, I felt the need to see her highlight reel. Grace and talent in motion.
Traveling Chronicles that’s what brought me here.
When I think WNBA I think lisa leslie.
Me 2 then I'm watching uncle drew
She’s one of the best role models
Lisa is amazing, strong, great player, fierce competitor and her feminine energy is infectious. Its refreshing to see..
She put her hand up and she blocks her 3 times like a savage
I would've been so embarrassed
She just pulled a dikembe mutombo on her
@@SuperEren23 bad comparison
That was dumb for the other girl to keep trying to lay it in after she kept blocking her attempts. She should've been smart and passed the ball to another teammate after the 1st block cuz Lisa clearly stood right next to her each time she attempted 😂
I can’t watch this without crying. One of the best moment in sports history.
💯💯💯💯💯 Right!
I met her at Morningside high in Inglewood!
Can u dunk! Right!!
IM IN 8TH GRADE AND I CAN DUNK
Same bro I'm not gonna lie
Lisa Leslie is an inspiration to girls everywhere so stop the hate because she is amazing
ya'll needa get outta here with the negative comments. lisa leslie will wipe the floor with you don't get cocky cause she's a woman
V Davi there somthing called equality. so we gotta treat her like any man. lol
No she wouldny
@@Brandon-hg7ic Bro she would break your dam ankles and you know it so shut it lol
@@Anymous578 no she wouldn't lol. I have played against a wnba player before lol. Literally. Well she was still in college at the time. Females just aren't quick enough
V Davi Lisa was one of the best to ever do it
Been watching women’s basketball since 1996. ❤🔥🤙

Uncle drew brought me here....
Saw the movie and was like damn! That womans a beast on the court
Same
Me too
Benny G me to my family members told me about her as I was watching uncle drew
2020 still one of my all time favorites!! Watching uncle drew leslie is the best! You go gurl!!
Right💯
Came to my in-laws Baby Shower.
Very humble individual!
Lisa was a BEAST!!!!! One of the best of all time behind Cheryl Miller
Yes, and I got to meet Cheryl Miller when she coached at USC.
The most humble person I've ever met!
Who's here after they announced the statue of lisa outside Staples center
jediah Pandes cuh you funny
Yoo I am lmao
jediah Pandes and Kobe ain’t
Thats amazing didn't know
#7 that no look pass was not too far off something Lebron would do... and Leslie was a pretty incredible rebounder too :O
This is the greatest wnba player ever and a putback layup is in her top 10
mötley crüe dude stop hating, if you can’t do that stuff she does you have no room to talk
mötley crüe word, send me a vid
Swoopes?
Faxxxxx
Pretty sure every decent high school player could beat Lisa leslie
lisa leslie one of those wnba players that make it worth watching💯💯
damn i mean she threw it down with the one hander
Big with guard skills. Love it.
Lisa Leslie the GOAT WNBA Player & GOAT Integrity.
maybe even the best backetball player male or female!
Still gives me chills when I see it crazy
Goat! My top 5 has Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, Tina Thompson, Tamika Catchings, and Cynthia Cooper
She still got the block and didn't jump
At 6'5, so would I 💯
@@Paula-nt2uc nah don’t sleep, I’m 6’3 and got some lays over a 6’5 dude that takes skill and timing
NBA and WNBA with the throwbacks, and it's not even Thursday.
2001 Lisa Leslie was a goddess on the court. Unstoppable.
Right!
Respect to Lisa Leslie for not throwing Kobe under the bus!
Lisa Leslie's on. The dedensive end: protection Kobe Bryant's legacy. Well done sis. R.I.P. Kobe Bryant et al.
Smh
That dunk gave me chills ! 🥶
Y?
One of my favorite basketball players. The blocks and the dunk
you can’t forget about the no look pass! easily makes her top 10 plays
Man am old I loved Lisa Leslie an 54 I remember I watched the first wnba game back in the late 90s
Lisa leslie is a great person on and off the court in real life a very nice woman that I have had the opportunity to meet
When somebody’s mentions the WNBA Lisa Leslie will always be the first woman that’s comes to mind💯 She is without a doubt on the WNBA Mount Rushmore 🐐
She's so dope
you’re telling me, that a rebound and a put back and 1 was a top 10 play of her career?
Of course, haters.
Lisa dunk was the best I agree!
the defense part though lmaooooo
My all time fave!!
Lisa is a legend. #Goat 🐐 🏆
1:30 SHE LEGIT BROKE THAT CHICK'S ANKLES LMAO
I love Lisa Leslie! 💜
That dunk was 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
How? Lol im not hating but like.. it happens all the time.
Wow 3 blocks in a row! Brutal.
lisa leslie is playing football and basketball at the same time, she straight tackles the offense
She is the michael Jordan of wnba
Marcio Escorcio more like Jerry West
Nawww... reggies millers sister sharl miller is the michael jordan of woman basketball
Cheryl Miller is the MJ of WNBA
More like shaq In his Magic days
Technically, yea. But she’s more like on the level of a decent high school basketball player.
And she was fine too.. she did that one on one episode where she was trying to bag flex.. NICE..
Shes amazing! One of my role models!
I Dont know what Cheryl ford thought she doing in that paint tho, lmao! Leslie was a bully down there, lol.
Excellent
The Queen Of Defense fr fr
yooo she’s fucking godly. Put some damn respect on her name
💯
That layup gave me chills.... greatest of all time.
U mean dunk
That snatch off the offensive rebound is crazy haha
Who is here after finding out she is the host for 2018 dunk contest
Had to check her out after hearing she was one of two women coaching in the Big 3.
Lisa Leslie was the first tall and athletic center I’ll take her over Liz cambage
This is amazing! ♥

Smooth to me she the goat of the wnba she always showed up when it counted 💚💚
hmmm... honestly thought I was gonna watch her dunk all over the place, hit buzzer beaters and all that.. kinda disappointes
Who came here after seeing she scored 101 points in a half ?
Seen that in High school. In 16 minutes, don't forget that!
I love how blocks and 3pointers are considered "career highlights" 😂😂💀💀
you mean... defense and scoring?
I bet she could block your small ass
Warwid
I'm 6'4" I doubt it 💀💀💀💀
OG Cheeba she's taller than u lmao
Reverted RF And??
Great player and very interesting woman!
Great for her league. But none of these plays would even make the nightly highlight real in the NBA.
Because you're comparing men to women you numbskull
This put a smile on my face yo 😂
EVERY SiNGLE PLAY PLACES ME BACK in MY MEMORY BANKS,
I dont like the WNBA.. but this woman can hoop!

number 2 is my favorite
Stellar
2:21 majestuoso, hasta el sonido del aro fue genial 😁
Best IN history
I want to be like Lisa Leslie she’s a beautiful basketball player proven champion would love to get her jersey
Lisa Leslie is the Wilt Chamberlain of WNBA....
first female 🦄 in the W. S/o Leslie, Thompson, Griffith and the other greats
Her and Candace on the same team was not fair😂😂😂😂
They need to bring back all the WNBA teams again
I see why hardly no one watches the WNBA 😆😬
Amazing as beautiful
Am I out of my mind when I say that a handful of boys high school basketball teams would mop the floor with these girls?
yes.
Yes, you are out of your mind. Lisa Leslie would bench press any High School Basketball team.
No
You are not out of your mind. A local boys high school team scrimmaged the Detroit Shock and won. They were a very average high school team with no D1 college talent.
Brett Hartzell bullshit

Lisa Leslie could/should have played SF for the Lakers!

Leslie was BOX OFFICE
Why she look like the girl version of scottie pippen?? 😂😂
Y u looking at her instead of the game. Do you look at the dudes like that! Questionable and not funny!!
@@Paula-nt2uc 55 Others Agree With me Ya Know…
Imagine if her and Kobe had a kid. That would be insane

You think after the second time Ford would stop trying to shoot the basketball. Blocked 3 times in a row is embarrassing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
