PHOENIX — Kahleah Copper’s competitiveness was the topic of conversation as Candace Parker strolled through a Footprint Center hallway following the Chicago Sky’s dominant victory over the Mercury to close out the regular season.
And when Parker reached the tunnel, her eyes serendipitously caught Copper running up and down the court with a friend’s two young nieces.
“See, this is what I’m talking about,” Parker said while watching Copper, a North Philly native. “Like, she’s trying to win a race against 2-year-olds.”
