Lisa and Tina

The Sparks now have the top two scorers in WNBA history in Lisa Leslie and Tina Thompson, Leslie's former Olympic, college (USC) and high school (Morningside of Inglewood) teammate.
Leslie was happy the Sparks acquired Thompson in the offseason.
"I love it," Leslie, who won Olympic gold medals with Thompson in 2004 and 2008, told the AP. "I think I'm a great person to follow and I think she's a good person to have following me. She's a great teammate and we have great chemistry. For me, it was a no-brainer."
Thompson, who averaged 18.1 points and 6.9 rebounds last season, was available after the Houston Comets folded. She mulled retirement, but didn't want to leave the game yet. She said yes to the Sparks partly because of the attraction of playing with Leslie again, and to be closer to her mother who lives in the L.A. area.
"We played with each other for a long time so it takes a matter of minutes for us to get
back together," she said. "It's not hard for us to get going. I know which way she's going
to turn in certain situations and where she likes the ball so it's not something I have to
figure out. It goes without saying."
