So the word is that ex-superstar WNBA player Lisa Leslie is now part owner of the her old team the LA Sparks. Eventhough Lesile retired in 2009 she has stayed productive in the league, in which shows her dedication in being a role model and showing that she is passionate about the sport and the association.
" Leslie, a University of Southern California grad, is used to being first. She was the first woman to dunk in a game, the first to reach 6,000 career points, and now she is the first WNBA player to invest in a professional basketball team. Leslie told reporters she’s excited and proud to be a member of the Sparks’ ownership group.
'After spending over a decade playing with the Sparks and then the last two season as both a fan and team broadcaster, I couldn’t be happier to rejoin the organization formally as a business partner and team ambassador,' Leslie told NBC4 news. 'I look forward to being as asset to the Sparks in the areas of marketing and community outreach.”(http://atlantapost.com/2011/09/06/lisa-leslie-former-wnba-star-is-new-co-owner-of-la-sparks/)
I wish the team the best and hope that the team is a successful as when Lisa was on the team.
