The NBA All-Star game had multiple celebrities, including WNBA stars. Even LeBron James had a special plan for NCAAW star JuJu Watkins at the main event game. Another superstar at the event was Lisa Leslie.
The WNBA veteran had been a regular at most of the NBA All-Star games. In 2018 and 2023, the retired star served as a judge for the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest. But the 2026 edition was different, as she was among the celebrity invitees. And fans loved her appearance, commenting on her picture with Olandria.
Fans React To Lisa Leslie and Olandria’s Photo
The two-time WNBA champion mesmerized the basketball fanbase with her exquisite play during the league’s early years. The Sparks legend earned Hall of Fame honors in 2015.
At the 2026 WNBA draft, the player snapped a photo with Island fame Olandria. The Love Island star is one of the most-followed influencers and already has a host of big brands, including Amazon, Microsoft, DoorDash, and Uber, under her profile.

The veteran forward receives much love from fans and players for her game on the floor, and also for her constant connection with fans, even in remote locations.
Lisa Leslie Surprises Fans In Compton
The decorated star was born in Compton and attended USC. Reaching new highs and setting standards in the WNBA, the forward remained one of the most decorated stars in the league. So, a day before attending the NBA All-Star game, she brought the All-Star energy to her birthplace.
Shoe Palace shut down its Compton location for a private experience presented by Nike. The event had brunch, custom Air Force 1s, and space intentionally created just for them. And then came the surprise for the fans as the three-time WNBA MVP entered the room
“I’m so happy and proud to be from Compton. Where I’m from is what keeps me grounded. What I did, that is like a job, but that is not who I am,” Leslie mentioned as she met fans.
