Candace Parker was the star of the show in Game 5, scoring 28 points to go along with 12 rebounds as she captured the first WNBA title of her career and also collected Finals MVP honors!
I cry when she cries. This was such an emotional year and Candace had been through so much in her personal life and then the disrespect from the league and the Olympics was just too much. She needed to win it that year for the haters, the doubters, and the jealous naysayers. Well done Candace!
Yes CP3 is truly a "GREAT" player and now she has a ring to boot. This was surely the best WNBA playoff series ever. More excitement than an NBA game any day. CONGRATS TO CP3 and Nneka. The best dynamic duel in sports.
Oh yeah, BEST. WNBA. SERIES. EVER. Thanks, Magic. You saved the Sparks from packing up and leaving LA by taking ownership of the franchise. The way this team has played all season long, I just knew they had a real shot to win it all. Well, here we are!
Dang, looks like the Minnesota crowd didn't even stay for the trophy presentation. Smh. Makes me respect the Golden State Warriors fans a little more - at least they stayed to watch CAVS trophy presentation.
Props to Magic Johnson for supporting Women's Basketball. We need more NBA players to support as well.These women play just as good and entertaining as the men and deserve recognition.
From a fan's perspective, Parker's seem to have the mental hurdles at times, when she couldn't get it done despite getting close. This year missing out on the Olympics and all, fuels her on the first half of the season, definitely playing on an MVP level, totally unstoppable. This year she has help now, with very good teammates on the Sparks, which is totally needed to best such a fantastic team in the Lynx.
Congratulations Candace and Alana and the MVP Nnemkadi ... !!! Candace, Pat was there with you on the sideline along with the rest of the Summit Family.the whole time. And she always will be.
Its been a looooooong time coming. So happy to see my favorite player finally win a WNBA championship but to do it this year after all the disappointments is magical
Y'all her hashtag on her pic says I'm so glad this championship wasn't voted on lol; they disrespected her all season and give her the Finals MVP award to try to cover it up. Sparks fans ain't forgetting! Y'all did her dirty so she showed y'all what a two time MVP does!
Candace Parker deserved it..I'm ecstatic for her. I know Pat is proud of her. Lynx Coach was sour, when they were a number of times Parker was fouled. smh
Yea I didn't hear Cheryl Reeves talking about the no fouls called when Rebekka Brunson pushed CP3 and then on a few plays later CP3 is slammed to the floor. Poor Sport
Congrats to the MIGHTY sparks on their championship! I'm so proud that the ref's were finally able to give them a title after SO many long years. Thank god the ref's forgot the shot clock rules that the Sparks were lucky enough to win the game
I'm still waiting for these two team face in finals again I mean this game was breathtaking and gave me a heart attack back then. One of the best game in WNBA finals. btw 2:04 help nneka hahaha
..congratz CP3..i'm so so happy for you..i'm you're # 1 fan..I love you so much..hope to see you in personal..but that's only in may dream..but I'm so happy watching you in youtube..congratz again..
This was one of the greatest moments for Candace Parker. I hope she gets back to the mountaintop, but the culture around the Los Angeles Sparks has to change in order for that to happen.
I am so happy that Princess Parker was able to win a title on the backs of the refs. I am 100% sure they could not have done with out the refs. Let's hope the ref's are on their side again in 2018 so Princess can win another title!
Jen Cabello Pat Summit, Parker's former coach at the Lady Vols college team. A legendary woman and one of women's basketball's faces. She passed away 3 months ago!
Cheryl Reeve just HAD to put that dislike in there, lol! Well done, Candace. Your pro-basketball bucket list is officially checked off with this WNBA championship. Anything you and your team get after this is gravy, believe me. ;-D
Just maybe... actually show the winning basket... maybe... I love the Dub NBA but this is incredibly bush league... Should have a highlight even JUST for the final play...
