Okay, so I got this crossword puzzle, you know, the one from the LA Times, and it got me stumped. It was a clue about a three-time WNBA MVP, and the name was Leslie. I mean, I follow sports, but I’m not exactly an expert on women’s basketball history. So, I figured I’d try to figure this out.
First, I grabbed my phone and started googling. I just typed in “WNBA MVP Leslie” and hit enter. The search results popped up, and there were tons of pages about this clue. Seems like a lot of people were looking for the same answer!
I clicked on a few of the links. Most of them said things like “Three-time WNBA MVP Leslie crossword clue answers and solutions,” or “We found 40 solutions for Three-time WNBA MVP Leslie.” Forty solutions? That seemed a bit much. I scrolled through a bunch of them, but they didn’t really give me the specific name I was looking for.
Then I noticed that some pages mentioned a “USA Today crossword puzzle” with the same clue. Apparently, this clue showed up there on June 5th, 2024. Okay, so it’s a recent clue.
I dug a little deeper. Another page talked about “related clues” and listed some tags like “WNBA MVP Leslie” and “Puzzle.” Still not what I was looking for, but I was getting closer, I think.
Finally, I found a page that actually gave me a bit more to work with. It mentioned this player being an “early star of the WNBA” and a “four-time Olympic gold medalist.” It also said she was the “first player to dunk in the WNBA.” Wow, that’s pretty cool! I was starting to get an image of who this person might be.
- Three-time WNBA MVP
- Early star of the WNBA
- Four-time Olympic gold medalist
- First player to dunk in the WNBA
I went back to the search results and found another site that listed the answer as number 42. Not sure what that was supposed to mean, so I kept looking.
Then, I hit the jackpot! I found a page that talked about this amazing player, Lisa Leslie. It said she’s “one of the greatest basketball players of all time” and that she’s now a coach, team owner, and commentator.
So there you have it!
After all that searching, I finally figured out that the answer to the “Three-time WNBA MVP Leslie” crossword clue is Lisa Leslie. It was a bit of a journey, but I learned a lot about an incredible athlete in the process. I’m gonna remember her name for sure. I feel pretty good about solving that one, even if it did take me a little while.
