Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks is not only one of the top players in the world, she's mom to "Lailaa". Take an All-Access look at Candace Parker as she experiences life as mom in Russia.
It's amazing how Candace can balance taking care of and having a healthy relationship with her daughter whilst playing basketball professionally year round (WNBA & Overseas). Sheldon seems like he's a great husband and father as well. What a beautiful family (:
great opportunity for this little girl learning russian, maybe learning some french because of where dady plays... maybe she did not have choice but Candace putting her baby in an all Russian school is very smart... it is good for kids cognitive development to have to touch so many cultutures and languages...
Ok this what yall are missing. WNBA seasons are during the summer. Most women professional basketball players play overseas from OCT-MAY. Some of you don't realize that the money they make over there is huge compare to WNBA salaries. They just play WNBA to play in the states and it keeps them in basketball shape all year. Plus and extra salary to go with it. Some WNBA players stay in the U.S. during the traditional basketball season, but don't play ball (etc Kara Lawson, Swin Cash and others) who does NCAA women's basketball for ESPN
Her child is smart...The whay shes going she can get a good paying job especially if shes learning complex languages she can get a job working for the cia or something very good...Great parents...
They don't. They almost double the wage you need to be in the top 5% of earners. However, they do it for the money. They make more than NBA players, in Russia and China, and from 10 to 20x more than they do in the US.
The WNBA should do more things like this. As fans, we don't see the players unless it's in season. Even then, in some cities the players aren't highlighted at all. Some of the best athletes in the world call the WNBA home and are so much more approachable than many other professional athletes, why not showcase them better?
Honestly these players should just play in Europe. IDK if the low ratings of WNBA cause the low pay, but I mean women's basketball players deserve 5 million max contracts at least. it is obvious Europe has better quality than the WNBA and are treating their players right.
Probably because she is a "beauty" from the inside out and values people who value her as a whole person. Some women/people, especially those who have established their own goals and purpose, look for a whole person to pour their love, time, energy into.... may seem unbelievable, but try to change your own thinking and what you think is worthy of love...or make sure to hook up with someone who shares your same values :-)
I agree they push gender equality here so much but yet they pay female athletes more in Russia than in America. For me the best most watchable women's sport is definitely tennis, those women are true professionals and good at what they do. it's also the highest paid as far as I know.
Ratings and ticket sales might have alot to do with their pay. But it makes me wonder if womens basketball is alot more popular in russia since they are paid more? Idk
You almost got it, it's Haitian. Me being one myself, I thought I might as well help lol. I gotta go to France one day though. It's a whole world out there I still haven't seen yet.
Cute little girl is so smart and already knows a lot of Russian.. my man Sheldon Williams from DUKE.. is the daddy.. did not know that.. great job Sheldon and Candice 💯🙏
Candace doesn’t seem happy at all, and I understand. She’s basically a single professional mom and dad. Lelia seems happy and that’s the bottom line. I’m from Illinois so Candace is an iconic baller here, however it seems that particular professional life isn’t that different from most people
1st thing is she is over there cause Russia's women's premier league pays women's basketball players more than the WNBA. So she plays all year round. Second dude what u said is not true, Pushkin was only part black, I think 1/4, this is because he had an ancestor named Abram Gannibal who came to Russia under Peter. Pushkin was a poet and the Russian language was around for hundreds of years before he started writing. Anyway cute vid :)and most russians have big hearts and are friendly people.
It is both a race and nationality, you are right since there are lots of different ethnicities in Russia, but the majority is still Slavic Russia. Dude please check wikipedia before saying stuff like this, before Russian they spoke Old Church Slavonic which is from the 9th century. Then they spoke Old Russian from the 10th. Before that they were mostly tribes and such to my knowledge without written languages. To Azndestroya77 he was 1/8 black, his mom was 1/4 and grandfather 1/2.
Plan for the future. Ask yourself. Would you start a basketball academy school for boys and girls? Kobe Bryant doesit Los Angeles. It can happen in Europe.
