Hall of Famer, Sparks icon Lisa Leslie to be honored with statue

Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie will join some of the most accomplished athletes in the history of sport as she will be memorialized with a statue outside of Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The two-time WNBA champion, three-time MVP and four-time Olympic gold medalist will be honored with a ceremony on Sept. 20 in the Star Plaza outside of the home of the Sparks and Lakers.

Leslie will join Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Wayne Gretzky, Pat Riley, Oscar De La Hoya, Chick Hearn, Jerry West, Luc Robitaille, Bob Miller, Elgin Baylor, Dustin Brown and Gigi Bryant as sports figures with statues at the arena.

She is just the second WNBA player in league history to receive a statue from her respective organization.
