Man, I’m grateful to witness Candace Parker play in Chicago. Happy retirement CB👏🏽👏🏽
She brought a title home to Chicago. Appreciate it.
She is doing a great job at TNT.
I’m going to miss Candace on the WNBA court 😢
top 5 player in WNBA history, period
@@suneelj93there was no need
@suneelj93 were you born a di*k or did you grow into one?
100%
@@booch2k This isn’t news. WNBA players can’t even compete with top ranked high school men’s teams. It’s barely basketball.
@@suneelj93 yeah but like why are you here then
I actually watched Candace play in college. One of my all-time favorite players!!! 🤩🤩
She was nasty when she played at TN!!! I only hold Chamique Holdsclaw and Maya Moore next to her. Period!
She's got more to give! Great heart! Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
I am not a Lady Vol, in fact, i have never been anywhere near Tennessee, but somehow i just knew that Candace was going 2B very special & she never disappointed! After which i watched her in LA, Chicago, & sadly also, when she helped the Aces knock out my beloved Seattle Storm! You helped popularize the W - Candace & will always hold a special place in my heart! Happy, HAPPY - Trails!
I remember when they talked about her in college. They always said, she can do it all. She really could. She revolutionized the game for bigs and changed the way it was played. Kamilla, Cameron, and Angel are the next generation of the mobile bigs.
This was great coverage of Candace's career. What a legend and asset to the Women's Game. I love Carter rocking the Vol's gear.
It's bittersweet seeing my hometown hero hang it up, Happy Retirement CP!!!
He mentioned Sylvia Fowles, Maya Moore, and Sue Bird. All three of those women were great players. Crazy thing is Candace has the skill of all three. She is Fowles, Moore, and Bird all wrapped in one. She was the most versatile player ever. She truly was 1 of 1. Job well done Candace. Enjoy life.
I’am going miss Candace Parker in Chicago Sky
She said "effective immediately" like Candace was getting fired 😂
Greatness we seen with Cp3 A great Mother great role model it was a pleasure getting 2 watch her all these years
My sister had a basketball game at Wintrust the season before last glad I got to meet and chop it up with her during her last season with the sky. Thank you, you so much Candace 💐👑🐐😊
That baseline dunk Candace did when she was at UT was nice!!🔥🔥
One of the Great for WNBA
I am going to miss Candace Parker Playing Basketball 😢
I love Candace as a human.
My GOAT (along with Lisa Leslie❤) . She'll be missed in the court but she is such a big part of my love for the women's game that I've followed for about 20 years now. Especially making the game real for my generation
CONGRATS MRS. PARKER A TRUE HARDWOOD LEGEND...EAS"T"EXAS RESPECT & MAY GOD CONTINUE 2 BLESS U & UR FAMILY N RETIREMENT....TRUE BALLER NDEED.
I love and admire Candace Parker for her great basketball, Tennessee Vols and love for Pat Summit, and the amazing person she is!
Candace Parker is the reason I got into basketball. Thank you Candace! Your impact and legacy will be felt for generations to come!
Happy espn giving her the respect she deserves !
It’s crazy because I really watch Candace Parker whole career 💯 both college championships her wining rookie of the year/ MVP in her first year in the league I seen it all even when she’s on tv with shaq,dwade and the white boy she definitely the only woman career I can say I watch congratulations on everything and may God continue to bless her in life #Philly
This legit got me sad 😢😢😢
I've only felt this way about one athlete's retirement. That was Kobe Bryant. Candace will be truly missed
COMPLETE LEGEND!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Canadice Parker… thank goodness I am allowed to see this legend continue to grow. It’s more than just her game, it’s her character and that’s what I enjoy about this lady. Keep on marching and Parker, you have a fan!
Top 5 WNBA Player Of All-Time Easily!
Love this so much!! Truly gonna miss her on the court! 1 of 1!
Now Candace Parker is one of the Greatest in Women's Basketball and will truly be missed. Candace is just legendary. But when the mind says yes but the body is screaming no. She had 10 surgeries over her career. The older you get the body doesn't heal as well.
Media needs to stop using the word "Legacy".
“ You don t have to yell to everyone from the rooftops who you are or what you do… time will tell…”
I wish more people just respected the game of women’s basketball. I been around women hoopers my entire life so I thought it was normal, never crossed my mind that it was any different, it’s just basketball and I enjoy basketball. I don’t care who is playing it as long as they’re being true to the sport. I was 15 when the wnba debuted, I remember all those comets championships. Women’s basketball deserves respect.
Best ever in her prime
One of the Greatest of all time! 🐐
Man that time went by fast…
Happy retirement CB and thank you for bringing title to Chicago
Dang she was the GOAT
She will be missed, but the Aces will still dominate without her, they're just too deep!
It’s not offense to defense! It’s defense to offense don’t be fooled
Even hating her as a UConn fan, respect to her
The WNBA has its own CP3 she won 3 rings and was dominant in ways few ballers have done either male or female. I think coach Parker might be her next big win
💀💀💀 You do know how many rings male CP3 has right?
@@pedrogriffin1934The initials + rings
I would’ve loved to see Candace & Angel Reese together for at least one season 😔
Congratulations on Retirement Candace Parker!
Absolutely, thank you Candice Parker for Paving the way, along with Sheryl Swoopes and among others, Lisa Leslie, much success in every way possible especially with Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal and gang, thank you again, my sister friend 🏀🎤🫶‼️👠 🤜🤛
I’ll always love her most!
I'm going to miss you Candace 😢
Congrats to an amazing player, I hope and pray Only the best for her in her next chapter.❤🙏 -Jeremiah 29:11 & Psalms 37:10,11
Even if you didn’t watch WNBA, you knew who Candace Parker was. Next stop, HOF 🎉
Stew eyes says it all 😮❤
I thought also she just signed an extension with the team a few months back???
top of the scouting report was "gg go next" 😅
GOAT!!! NUFF said!!!!
Wowzers
Candace Parker is my favorite female player because she was one of one. Female Magic Johnson with a jump shot
Now I don’t if she is going to keep doing the Analysis for Inside the NBA and the Analysis at NBA Games! If She does, food for her!
I will love Candace till I die
I'm surprised she's not going to try and get another free ring
Good luck with your future Candace
The older players should start to clear out. Needle hasn’t moved in 20 years 😂
A "Greatest of All Time" that No One Watched because it's the WNBA....
She was ring chasing her last years
and she won
No one like Candace Parker ever again! GOAT🧡🧡🩵🧡🧡
As she should she’s had an amazing career time to move on. I just need Taurasi and all those other older WNBA players to move. It’s CC and AR era now.
Man I’m so glad we got Aja Wilson because I’m going to miss Candace Parker so much she’s without a doubt arguably the greatest WNBA player ever 💯 it’s not a discussion
She better keep talking basketball 💯
In my humble opinion, Candace Parker is arguably the greatest women basketball player Ever. A 6'4 point everything. The only WNBA player to ever become Rookie of the year and MVP in the same year. A class act on and off the court. I can't think of any other player who can or could play all 5 positions and still dominate the game. Congratulations CP3. I'll miss you and your style!
I had no idea she was still playing
Caitlin clark got some toxic fans lol Congrats on an amazing career, Candace!
Crazy how I thought she was an ex-player all this time cos I see her on TNT
🛑Don't forget😮"12-Time Fan-Voted Most Prettiest Girl in the WNBA". We'll sure miss her style.😊😅😂
I can actually see Candace Parker coaching in college or Wnba
Thanks Candice for winning rings for Chicago and la and dont discredit your las vegas ring either.
Yeah, I definitely would retire. Career like that, and they are making all this hype about girls that haven't even gotten in the league yet. Yeah, it's time to go.
Candace had her hype. She had a chance to elevate the WNBA and didn't
@Turk_2023 ok, just like Sheryl, huh?
@Atl_Boi_73 Please don't entertain these meaningless comments
No other player like her ever!
Candace In A Word #Iconic #SaluteQueen
Congratulations on your WNBA career Candace Parker. Happy retirement.
🐐 go vols. Go sky.
She has a similar skill set to AD. Except jumping dunking and everything else.
CANDICE PARKER YOU SAID YOU'RE A BUSINESS MAN BEST WISHES IN THE FUTURE 👀
😢
Hall Of Famer!!! Will be Missed..., "Historically!" 😢
Such an extroadinary beautiful female. Wow !!!!!
If men wanted more money to play a game they supposedly love.and it makes hardly no revenue. We would be told to get a job
❤❤❤❤
And they want to call Catlyn the goat😂😂
Looks like Beyonce but plays like a straight-up man baller! 😍
I thought she been got out. Crazy
GOAT
She could of done one more year
The biggest disappointment to the WNBA.
The only female high school player to win the dunk contest against the boys
WNBA’s loss in NBA TV’s gain,congrats!
I watched her in College, but haven’t seen her play one game in WNBA.
Cuz she making more money with TNT than playing
I respect her, though I never watched her games. I have watched her appearance on TNT, though. I can't wait to see her child come into the WNBA and be able to dunk, as she promised during the whole pay gap / lower the hoops saga. I am also not a fan of conspiracies, but now the WNBA is finally getting the recognition from the CC effect, she retires? If she really wanted to retire, she could have announced it just after the championship win. Now, it seems that she is avoiding Caitlin, when she could have had her good bye tour as she welcomed the new blood in. For all the fan fare of growing the W, she will never get to enjoy it with all the increase in ticket sales. Now, nobody is calling for the lowering the hoop, despite adopting a smaller ball and 3 point line. Either that or the Aces forced her retirement when they drafted Kate Martin to replace her. It's just a shame for her legacy. The effective immediately sounds ominous when they are just opening training camp. I don't like Aja Wilson game for all the mean spirited plays and flopping. Even the oldest Fever player stayed when she will lose her starting role to come off the bench just like CP3. Like CP3, Parker could have lead the second line.
She has 4 rings she was apart of the aces last year when they won their title
I’m not gone lose any sleep either way
She kept throwing up the satanic mason hand gesture curse on you I think Anton levay said
