The Untold Truth Of Michelle Obama's Brother Craig

Craig Robinson's daughter, Leslie, seems to have inherited his basketball talent. Leslie, like her dad, went to Princeton where she made a name for herself on the basketball court. In 2018, WNBA team New York Liberty drafted her, much to the delight — and surprise — of her dad. "It was happy, excited, and surprised all at once," he told The Daily Princetonian. "The only one that truly thought that Leslie was going to get drafted was her eight-year-old brother. I am so proud of her."

Per Fansided, Leslie only played a couple of games with the New York Liberty before moving to the Chicago Sky. Unfortunately, her contract ended in 2019. Having previously played professional basketball for Germany during the offseason, Leslie headed back to Europe after leaving the WNBA, playing ball for Sweden in the 2019-2020 season, according to Eurobasket.

Per her LinkedIn profile, she then went on to coach basketball, first at Chapman Basketball Academy and then at the University School of Milwaukee — the same school her father and stepmother filed a lawsuit against. Leslie left that position in March 2021, shortly before her younger brothers were expelled. Since April 2021, she has worked as an associate producer for Trilogy Films.
