News about Lisa Leslie

Despite delighting NBC bosses with her SNL skit, ABC execs are less than enthralled after Caitlin, 22, 'respectfully declined' their offer to sign up for Dancing with the Stars. The 22-year-old WNBA star, who was recently selected first overall by the Indiana Fever, is said to have turned down an invitation to appear on this year's season as she plans to dive into 'other opportunities' after her summer on the court. 'Every single offer you could get has been thrown her way,' an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'The producers of Dancing with the Stars have asked Caitlin to take part, but she has respectfully declined. She is focusing on the WNBA this summer and in the fall when DWTS comes back, Caitlin is going to dive into some other opportunities and chase those goals instead.'

Caitlin Clark hasn't played a minute of professional basketball yet, but she's already 'one of the best basketball players in the world' according to WNBA legend Lisa Leslie. Clark, the presumptive No. 1 pick in this month's WNBA Draft, dominated the college ranks while at Iowa, becoming the all-time leading scorer in Division 1 (men's and women's) and leading her team to consecutive national championship appearances. And while other former greats like Diana Taurasi are skeptical that Clark will transition seamlessly to the WNBA, Leslie thinks she's ready to be a star already. 

Angel Reese, who revealed she would enter the WNBA Draft and leave LSU, spoke out about her decision to make her name known in Vogue Magazine. LSU lost in the Elite Eight of the most closely watched game in women's college basketball history on Monday night. Reese officially said that her college experience ended with an announcement in Vogue Magazine on Wednesday that she will join the WNBA.

Lisa Leslie, a WNBA legend, told men who want women's basketball to be lower on the rims and allow for more slam dunks to'shut the f*** up.' During an interview with Comedy Central's The Daily Show on Monday, Leslie said, 'Shut the f*** up.' "I have no answer.' 'I think the game is amazing,' Leslie continued. If you're a follower of the WNBA, you should already know that these women are at such high levels.' It's like blurred lines with the males and the women.'

Mac McClung, a G League player, may have single-handedly restored the shine on a dunk contest that has been largely banned in recent years. McClung is a 6-foot-2 guard on a two-way agreement with the Philadelphia Phillies, and he has spent the majority of the season with the Delaware Blue Coats, the Philadelphia 76ers G league affiliate. In the finals of the dunk tournament, he defeated Trey Murphy III of New Orleans, bringing an NBA All-Star Saturday that may have answered the mystery as to whether what used to be the league's signature event can be glitzy once more.

After it was revealed Monday that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis had battled an autoimmune disorder three years ago that threatened his health on multiple fronts, they were seen at Ping Pong 4 Purpose, a charity function at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Kutcher, 44, was dressed in a spruce blue short-sleeved button-up top with denim blue jeans and blue shoes. When he and his wife, 38, posed with Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, 34, and his wife Ellen, he topped it off with a Chicago Bears cap. Kunis squeaked at the function by wearing a white T-shirt with blue jeans and white Converse shoes, with her brown locks parted and slicked back.
