Lisa Leslie Biography
Lisa Leslie, a former WNBA player, is known for her extensive career both on and off the basketball court. As a player, she was a dominant force in the women’s game, winning numerous accolades and achieving historic sports milestones. Leslie's career has been characterized by her 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, becoming 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. She led the Los Angeles Sparks to their first WNBA Championship that year and again in 2002. Leslie is recognized as the first woman to slam-dunk in a professional basketball game.
Beyond basketball, Leslie co-founded the ultra-luxury national real estate firm, Aston Rose, demonstrating her prowess in the real estate industry. As a media personality, she began her career as a sports commentator and analyst in 2004, working with networks such as ESPN, ABC, Turner, Fox Sports Net, and NBC, and covering the 2012 Olympics for NBC. She is currently co-hosting the CBS Sports show "We Need To Talk."
Leslie has also made appearances in 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." She authored the book "Don’t Let the Lipstick Fool You" in 2008. Additionally, Leslie launched the Lisa Leslie Basketball & Leadership Academy in 2012, demonstrating her commitment to developing future leaders and athletes.
Her philanthropic efforts are notable, including being 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.

Lisa was incredible. 10/10 in every way! Thank you!
AgileOne - May 13 2024 -
I would highly recommend Lisa Leslie as a high school speaker (She did a moderated discussion, facilitated by two of our students, which was wonderful.). She is sooo good with young people. So many good messages and she was so patient with one of the students who was losing her place with a question. When she said something like, "Sorry, I'm thinking through this..." Lisa said, "Keep going, you're doing great!" She was calm, fun, loves to laugh, and had a lot of wisdom to share.

Lisa Leslie was enthusiastic and passionate - and very easy to work with on approvals and content. Some of the feedback we got was that she could go off track a bit, but all in all, we had a positive experience!
