Collection: Los Angeles Sparks Basketball Cards

The Los Angeles Sparks, a founding WNBA franchise in 1997, carry a legacy defined by championships, superstar talent, and one of the league’s most iconic players, Lisa Leslie, who became the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game and led the Sparks to back-to-back titles in 2001 and 2002. Leslie, a three-time MVP and two-time Finals MVP, anchored early Sparks teams alongside DeLisha Milton-Jones, Tamecka Dixon, and coach Michael Cooper, creating one of the WNBA’s first dynasties. After Leslie’s retirement, the franchise entered a new era with forward Candace Parker, the 2008 Rookie of the Year and MVP whose versatility and leadership carried Los Angeles back to championship contention. The Sparks captured their third WNBA title in 2016 under coach Brian Agler, with Parker, point guard Chelsea Gray, and defensive standout Nneka Ogwumike defeating the Minnesota Lynx in one of the league’s greatest Finals series. Ogwumike, the 2016 league MVP, became the franchise cornerstone through the late 2010s, while stars like Kristi Toliver and Alana Beard added championship experience. Recent seasons have focused on rebuilding with Ogwumike, forward Dearica Hamby, and young talents aiming to return Los Angeles to title contention. With a legacy of stars, championships, and a major-market fan base at Crypto.com Arena, the Sparks remain one of the WNBA’s most storied franchises.
