Candace Parker Doesn't take sh*t

If you're like me, your only experience with WNBA basketball went like this. Quick jumper, brick. Turnover. Turnover. Bad pass out of bounds. Quick jumper, brick. Time out. Time elapsed: 35 seconds.

Up until today, I had no respect for women's basketball. They can't shoot, can't finish, and turn the ball over every other play.

The only thing that could save the league was Candace Parker, the 6'4" phenomenon from Tennessee. She led her team to two consecutive NCAA basketball titles, won the McDonalds All-American dunk contest in 2004, scored 34 points in her WNBA debut, and on top of that, she doesn't look half bad.

In Tuesday's contest between the Los Angeles Sparks and Detroit Shock, Candace Parker gave the world another reason to watch her play, she ain't taking sh*t (and the other girls are not laying down either).

In this author's opinion, nothing could have been better for the WNBA than having their golden girl throw down and show off some brawn. Except a tomahawk dunk in someone's face after jumping over a car. Nude.

Nevermind, the fight's still better.

And on a side note: Something about The Palace in Detroit(Auburn Hills) seems to bring out the best in people... Enjoy.
