Lisa Leslie is joining the broadcast crew for the Orlando Magic. The WNBA and Olympic legend will join the broadcast for the rest of the season as an in-studio analyst.

Fox Sports Florida officially announced on Wednesday that Leslie will be on the pre- and post-game shows on the regional home of Magic games. Leslie made her first appearance on the Magic broadcast on Tuesday night and it appears that’s a role she’s going to have the remainder of the 2017-18 season.

Leslie certainly seems excited about the new gig, tweeting about it as well on Wednesday and retweeting a lot of well wishes about the new gig.

Leslie has appeared on ESPN as a commentator since 2004, and she’s also worked for Fox, SportsNet, Turner and NBC in the past, so she has loads of experience on air. As a player, there is no doubting Leslie’s credentials in the game of basketball. She’s a three-time WNBA MVP, four-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time WNBA champion during her 12-year career with the L.A. Sparks in which she scored 6,263 points (sixth all-time) and pulled down 3,307 rebounds (second all-time).

There might not be a whole lot of good news for the Magic this season, but Leslie is a strong addition to their broadcast crew.
