Candace Parker: August 2008 Archives

Check out this video of Candace Parker, following her first game in Beijing.

Seems liks she left room for improvement in her postgame eval. What do you think of her performance in the win?

In addition to recently playing hoops in a driveway in Mississippi, Naperville Central alumnus Anthony Parker defended the actions of his sister Candace Parker during the scrape with the Shock in this interview with the National Post.

If you are suffering from burnout on this story, hang with us, Anthony's comments are on point and worth a look.

"I think, for one thing, if most people put themselves in that situation, they might react the same way," the Toronto Raptors guard said Thursday. "A lot of talk was saying that she took the bait or whatever, and I don't see it like that. I think taking the bait is if somebody elbows you or yells at you, and you react. I think she was in a situation where she had to defend [herself]."

p.s. Since AP is out there playing hoops with civilians, his right hand must be feeling good after his surgery in May.
