Rotblatt Amrany Studio is proud to celebrate the legacy of basketball legend Lisa Leslie with a permanent bronze sculpture at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Created by acclaimed sculptor Julie Rotblatt-Amrany, the monument honors Leslie’s extraordinary career, her impact on women’s basketball, and her enduring connection to the city of Los Angeles. The sculpture joins the celebrated collection of sports monuments surrounding Crypto.com Arena, establishing Leslie’s legacy within one of the most recognizable sports and entertainment destinations in the world.

The sculpture was designed to capture more than Lisa Leslie’s athletic likeness. It expresses the confidence, strength, grace, and presence that defined her career. Every element, from the figure’s anatomy and movement to the expression, uniform details, and surface treatment, was carefully developed to create an authentic representation of Leslie while conveying the larger story of an athlete who helped transform women’s professional basketball.

Through a combination of traditional figurative sculpture, contemporary digital technology, and extensive artistic refinement, Julie Rotblatt Amrany and team translated Leslie’s likeness and legacy into a permanent work of public art.

Lisa Leslie is one of the most influential players in basketball history and a foundational figure in the growth of the WNBA. As a longtime star of the Los Angeles Sparks, Leslie became a multiple-time WNBA champion, MVP, Olympic gold medalist, and one of the league’s defining athletes. She also made history as the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game, creating one of the sport’s most recognizable milestones.

Her influence extends beyond statistics and championships. Leslie helped elevate the visibility of women’s basketball and inspired generations of athletes who followed her.

The monument celebrates that broader legacy, recognizing not only what Leslie accomplished on the court, but what she represented for the future of the game.
