This video posted on Wednesday shows Madisun Bailey shooting hoops in her driveway on a 10-foot basket. Before she starts shooting, she turns to the camera and says this:
"My name is Madisun Bailey. I'm five, but you can call me Candace Parker."
Then she sinks the first five shots she takes, a mixture of baseline jumpers mainly, before missing her sixth shot, which barely rims out. But showing the all-around game of her basketball role model, Bailey follows her own shot, gets the rebound and makes her next shot.
File this under the category of "How you know you're really famous."
Great video. Just after basket #4 you can hear the stunned parent with the video camera commenting on her play. I think he says something like "Don't quit." Or something that rhymes with that.
MADISUN LOVES BASKETBALL AND CANDACE PARKER. SHE TURNED 5 IN DEC. AND HAS BEEN TRYING TO PLAY WITH A BASKETBALL SINCE AGE 2. CANDACE PARKER THANK YOU FOR BEING A POSITVE ROLE MODEL THAT I CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY DAUGHTER LOOKING UP TO ON AND OFF THE COURT.
