- Candace Parker is going to special, and I do not say this simply due to her monsterous stat line. We all know what beauty can do in sports. Just look at the fuss created by "stars" such as Anna Kournikova. When you combine beauty with skill in sports, esecially in women's sports, you have a strong combination. Just look at the commercial sucess it has landed for Maria Sharapova. Candace Parker has the skill to be better and more dominant in her game while being on par in terms of beauty as Maria Sharapova. She plays in Los Angeles, which is the hot bed for star making. Parker also has the potential to revolutinize the WNBA in raising the salaries to above the wages for teachers, (her salary is only 44k,) as well as to increase fan fare.
- Also, according to Yahoo's Box Score, Lisa Leslie was -14, which I find slightly odd.
-Finally, a word on WNBA's new, "Expect Great" ('She wouldn't say that') commercials. While it is creative, the simple fact is that, a lot of people miss the "She wouldn't say that" part as during commercials, especially during a WNBA commercial, people would not be paying attention to the screen that shows that in text. The commercial is below. Assume it in the context of an NBA game, and make your own judgement.
