Steve Kelley of the Seattle Times profiles LJ's rise to the top. She's already awesome, and still so young.

Says teammate Brondello of the Leslie-LJ rivalry: "I'm not very objective because I've been watching her play since she was 16. Lisa Leslie and her are the best players in the world already, but I'm not sure Lisa Leslie was doing the things Lauren is doing at 22. Now it's up to Lauren how far she wants to come, but I know she has the drive to be the best player in the world."
