WNBA icon Lisa Leslie dropped a Rookie of the Year take that's not getting good feedback.
WNBA icon Lisa Leslie is one of the world's most knowledgable people when it comes to women's basketball.
However, that didn't stop the former USC Trojans legend from getting roasted on social media for a controversial WNBA Rookie of the Year award take. "I don’t care what comparisons you make both @Reese10Angel and @CaitlinClark22 deserve the Rookie of the Year Award! The pressure and the weight of this season has forever changed the @WNBA and both rookies rose to the top and exceeded all our expectations! Take a bow ladies," LeslieWhile the two-time WNBA Champion and three-time WNBA MVP is clearly trying to give both rookie sensations Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese their respective flowers, fans on social media aren't seeing eye...
This is so disappointing. Co-Rookie of the Year is a sympathy award and it is disrespectful to these competitors. Do not compromise the sport. Let the best rookie win."This has been about everything but basketball for a while now and it’s getting embarrassing.
Luckily for both Leslie and other WNBA fans, regardless of who wins the award, both Clark and Reese have a whole career of elite basketball ahead of them.Grant Young covers Women’s Basketball, the New York Yankees, and the New York Mets for Sports Illustrated’s ‘On SI’ sites.
