"To whom much is given...

CP3MVP.jpg...much is expected."

Candace Parker has uttered that motto for quite some time, and now you can too. Only you won't have to if you buy the T-shirt, because it will do all the speaking for you.

Again:

"To whom much is given, much is expected."

There's no doubt that a lot of expectations have been placed on Parker's sturdy shoulders, but with the help of her family and close friends (and her own intellect), Parker has found ways to put things in perspective.

Because of her tremendous talent on the hardwood, Parker has received a lot in life. But along the way, she's never forgotten what's expected of her as a person.

The two-time NCAA Tournament champion, U.S. Olympic gold medalist and WNBA Most Valuable Player/Rookie of the Year is one of the good ones.

Having said that, not everybody can get away with wearing orange. You'll just have to memorize the mantra instead of wearing it.

There's plenty of orange roaming around Chicagoland... wear it as proudly as we are of Candace.

You bet, Kelly. Wear orange and wear it proudly -- if you dare, lol. Halloween's just around the corner. (Kidding, I have an orange shirt or two as well and actually wear them).

In all seriousness, the Naperville Sun's extremely proud of Candace and all of her amazing accomplishments -- her slogan not withstanding.
