Lisa Leslie was unstoppable: four Olympic gold medals, two WNBA championships, and 3 WNBA MVPs. Yet, the specifics of her greatness sometimes get lost in the larger struggle to keep the league she helped built afloat. Leslie was everywhere in the late 90's and 2000's: The Simpsons, Moesha, the cover of every type of Sports Illustrated. And that made sense. She was one of the most dominant players of all time: her post moves unguardable, her passing underrated, her blocks a reminder of who's running the show. But her everywhere-ness was also always part of a fight to get people to tune in to WNBA games, and appealing to the casual viewer can come at a cost. Episode 5 of Posters travels back to the late 90's and early 2000's, when Leslie was everywhere: The Simpsons, Moesha, the cover of every type of Sports Illustrated. The ep looks at how one of the most dominant players of all time (unguardable post moves, underrated passing, vicious defense) had to spend so much of her time appealing to the casual viewer. And that comes at a cost. Looking for some vintage-style WNBA gear?
