WNBA Legend Lisa Leslie's Statue Unveiled Outside of Sparks' Arena in New Videos, Photos

The Los Angeles Sparks officially unveiled a statue honoring WNBA legend Lisa Leslie outside of the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday.

Here's a look at the statue:

"First of all, she's cute," Leslie said after seeing her statue for the first time. "I was so worried. I did not want to look like a linebacker up here. But she's cute. I wanted to make sure that this statue was a perfect blend of fearlessness and the competitor that I was and I am and I'll always be. But also... I wore my ribbons, I had my nails polished, which y'all can't see, but the girl got her polish on because I never wanted the boys or the men to think that I was a boy. I wanted to play hard like them, but I wanted them to know that I respected myself and that I was a lady. And I wanted for little girls to see my ribbons when I played because I wanted them to be able to see themselves in me."

Leslie, 54, was a three-time WNBA MVP during her 12-year career, winning a pair of championships with the Sparks. She was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.
