WNBA legend Lisa Leslie recently made an appearance on Angel Reese’s podcast, “Unapologetically Angel”<\/em> and offered valuable advice for the WNBA star to improve her game. Hall of Famer, Leslie is a two-time WNBA Champion and a three-time MVP in her WNBA career and played as a center which coincides with Reese’s gameplay.<\/p>

Angel Reese broke multiple records in her rookie year but struggled with her shooting in the paint and more so with the layups. The Sky forward attempted 321 layups (second in the league) and only made 136 which is 42.4% of the shots. According to the WNBA site<\/a>, Reese had the worst field goal percentage from the layups in the league which became a major criticism of her gameplay despite a record breaking season.<\/p>

On her podcast, Reese asked Lisa Leslie for advice as she prepared for her second season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leslie highlighted that the most important advice she had for Reese was to focus on improving her layup technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The biggest advice I have for you is going to be how you shoot your layups”<\/em>, said Leslie. “Like, we’re going to fix that. That’s fixable for you, and I think that’s probably the biggest”, the 2-time WNBA champ added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Former WNBA MVP also praised Reese’s improvements in other areas of the game and said, “I love that your ball handling is good. Your defense is improved. Like, the fact that you’ll be snatching that ball from them, girl. I’ll be cracking up like oh she got another one like i love the fact that you are like putting so much pressure on them defensively.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
