I love Lisa Leslie. Her positivity, her knowledge of the game and her ability to draw people in is as good as it gets. I love this podcast and look forward to it dropping in my feed every week. The only thing I would want to give it up for is to see this eminently worthy woman coaching a WNBA team.
