WNBA legend Lisa Leslie is no stranger to speaking her mind, and her latest comments have once again put her at the center of controversy. During an appearance on the Just Women’s Sports podcast, Leslie didn’t hold back when discussing the glaring issue of missed layups in the league—an area where rising star Angel Reese has notably struggled. Addressing Reese directly, Leslie emphasized that improving layup efficiency should be a top priority, offering blunt but constructive criticism.

The reaction from Reese’s fanbase was swift, with many taking offense to what they perceived as a slight against their favorite player. However, Leslie’s remarks highlight a larger conversation about skill development in the WNBA, where even post players often struggle with fundamentals. As debates rage on about media narratives and star power in the league, one thing is clear—Lisa Leslie isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo. But will Angel Reese take this as motivation to improve, or will her supporters continue to deflect valid critiques? The discussion is far from over.
