It’s all buckets for Candace Parker, as she is the first WNBA player to reach over 6,000 career points, 3,000 rebounds, and 1,500 assists, according to CNN. The WNBA player — who spent 13 seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks before joining the Chicago Sky team in 2021 — led her team to a massive victory against the Connecticut Sun. In that game alone, Parker had 11 rebounds, seven assists, scored 25 points, and successfully blocked her opponents four times, per USA Today.
“There was something about going to where you started playing the game,” Parker said during a 2021 interview with The Detroit News. “To win at home, I’m just now recognizing it a little bit. How special that really is,” she added. Parker, who also happens to be a Chicago native, was responsible for helping her team, the Chicago Sky, win their first WNBA title in the franchise’s history back in October 2021, according to NPR. “It feels amazing,” the WNBA player said. “Look at the city, man. They all showed up.”
And, that’s not all. Parker is officially the oldest player to have 10 rebounds and score 30 points in a game in WNBA history, per ESPN. Aside from scoring a major win back home, she also had the opportunity to win big for the United States.
