WNBA icon Lisa Leslie recently joined Angel Reese on her podcast, Unapologetically Angel, where she engaged in a variety of discussions related to the league and her illustrious WNBA career. Notably, the segment dedicated to fans’ questions emerged as a significant highlight of the episode.

In the fan question segment, Reese inquired whether Leslie would contemplate the possibility of becoming a head coach in the WNBA. Leslie disclosed that she had indeed engaged in discussions regarding two head coaching opportunities within the league; however, she ultimately did not secure either position.

“I put my name in the hat to coach this year for two teams. And I won’t say who those two teams are, but I did not get picked. I felt like I would never attempt to go into coaching in the WNBA,” Leslie said.

Leslie indicated that it is improbable she will pursue additional applications for similar roles in the future.

Lisa Leslie Explains Why Franchises Passed On Hiring Her As Head Coach

Leslie played in the WNBA for the Los Angeles Sparks from 1997 to 2009. During her impressive career, she earned significant recognition as a three-time WNBA Most Valuable Player, won two WNBA championships, received eight All-Star selections, and celebrated her victories with four Olympic gold medals.

Despite these accomplishments, neither of the two WNBA franchises chose to hire her as their head coach. Further in the interview, Leslie revealed the reasons why those franchises decided against hiring her.

“It’s like, you gotta be 10 times as great as a Black woman in this industry. And, when I tell you that who these people hired is not better than me, and what I can do for these players…,” Leslie said.

Currently, Leslie is the head coach of the Triplets in the BIG3 professional basketball league. In addition to her coaching responsibilities, she provides expert analysis as a studio analyst for the Orlando Magic broadcasts on the FanDuel Sports Network Florida. Previously, she made a controversial statement regarding Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, which sparked lively debate among fans.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
