Sometimes, one dream leads to another. And sometimes those new dreams are built on the backs of those who came before them.
That’s becoming the life of WNBA superstar Candace Parker. In 14 years as a player with the Los Angeles Sparks and Chicago Sky, she’s more than lived out her dream of being a basketball player — she’s literally one of the all-time greats. Her career accomplishments include two WNBA MVPs, two Olympic gold medals, a defensive player of the year and rookie of the year award, two college national championships, and after helping Chicago win the title last season, two WNBA championships. The list goes on.
But now she’s also a budding star as a studio analyst for Turner Sports, where she signed a multi-year extension in September.
