WNBA Updates

Jul 23

Candace Parker just went from breaking ankles on the hardwood to breaking barriers in the boardroom. This WNBA legend ain't just resting on her laurels – she's out here making power moves as the new President of Women's Basketball at Adidas.

Candace came into the league like a hurricane in 2008, snatching up Rookie of the Year AND MVP in her first season. That's like showing up to the cookout and taking home both the spades trophy and the best dish award – straight disrespectful!

This queen collected chips like they were going out of style. First with the Sparks in 2016, where she had the Mercury looking lost. Then she came back home to Chi-Town in 2021 and led the Sky to their first 'ship. As if that wasn't enough, she linked up with the Aces in Vegas and hit the jackpot one more time in 2023. Three rings, two MVPs, and more All-Star nods than you can count on both hands – Candace was out here playing WNBA on easy mode.

Y'all thought triple-doubles in the playoffs were rare? Candace said, "Hold my Gatorade." She's top 10 all-time in points, boards, and dimes. That's not just good, that's "your name belongs on a street sign" type of greatness.

Now, Candace is taking her talents to Adidas, and you best believe she's coming with that same killer instinct. As President of Women's Basketball, she's not just selling sneakers – she's selling a whole movement. We're talking innovation, representation, and access for all our sisters out there trying to get their hoop dreams.

She's got plans to link up with ballers like Aliyah Boston, Nneka Ogwumike, and Chelsea Gray. But it's bigger than just the pros. Candace is trying to make sure every young queen out there has a chance to lace 'em up and chase greatness.

Look, Candace Parker went from dropping dimes to calling shots, and I'm here for all of it. She's proof that our legends don't fade away – they just find new courts to dominate. With Candace running point at Adidas, the future of women's basketball is looking brighter than a fresh pair of kicks. Game recognizes game, and business is about to recognize Candace Parker!
