We’ve got Lisa Leslie, Miss Smoooooth herself, on this week’s show to chop it up with the guys L.A. style! A hoops journey that starts with her scoring 101 points in a high school basketball game — in 16 minutes of a high school game — and ends with her name in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. She’s a fierce competitor at everything she does — from basketball to backgammon — a two-time WNBA champion and legend in her own right ... this week it’s the Lisa Leslie story on Knuckleheads. Tune in.
