Most Hyped Up Baby of All-time

["MVP"]

Well, it's official. Former Duke basketball star and current Sacramento Kings forward Sheldon Williams got his wife and WNBA stud Candace Parker pregnant. Wow. Anything less than a top-50 player will be a disappointing! :chuckles: . First baby with parents as an NBA and WNBA player of all-time.

Candace Parker Expecting Her First Child This Spring

Last year was a year of firsts for Candace Parker. In 2008 she was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks, she was the first woman in the WNBA to win both Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player and she captured her first Olympic Gold Medal at the Summer Games in Beijing. Entering a new year, Parker has another special first to look forward to. This spring, she and husband Shelden Williams of the Sacramento Kings are expecting their first child.

“Shelden and I are very excited to be expanding our family,” said Parker. “We feel blessed and look forward to becoming parents.”

“We are happy to welcome a new addition into the Sparks family and on behalf of the entire organization we congratulate both Candace and Shelden,” said Penny Toler, Los Angeles Sparks General Manager.

Parker will continue to work out in preparation to participate in the 2009 WNBA season.

Parker nearly averaged a double-double her rookie season (18.5 ppg, 9.5 rpg) and she led the WNBA in rebounds. She earned the 2008 WNBA Rookie of the Year award and the Most Valuable Player award marking the first time in the WNBA’s 12 seasons that a rookie has won MVP. Parker won back-to-back NCAA championships with the Lady Vols in 2007 and 2008. She led the team in scoring (20.6 ppg) and rebounding (8.8 rpg) her final season at Tennessee. Parker was named the 2007 and 2008 Collegiate Female John R. Wooden Player of the Year, State Farm Player of the Year, Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Year and Kodak All-American. She earned the NCAA Final Four MVP award in 2007 and 2008.

Didn't Damon Jones have a baby with that one wildebeest looking girl from the WNBA?

Rebecca Lobo?

 

[Randolphkeys]

I think the proper way to put it is Tina Thompson had her way with Damon Jones.

All joking aside, Candace is a beast. She averages 19 and 10, and is by far the best WNBA player. The fan loves her (fan is not plural intentionally. lol). She is better than her brother Anthony Parker, I think, and could probably play in the NBA.

Isnt it like in her contract she cant have a kid?

She...could probably play in the NBA.

No chance.

I think the only reason she appears to be better is because all of her competition has a vagina. Although by the looks of some of those chicks, maybe that's even debatable.

I thought you said "all joking aside"? I know she's talented...for a woman. That said, the talent level gap between the two leagues is laughable. The WNBA is comparable to a boys High School team. They are at such a disadvantage physically.

I don't know if she could be a good NBA player, but you can't get much worse than Dwyane Jones...

I came in thinking this was going to be a thread about Paul Pierce.

Dwayne Jones would beat her 46-0 in a game to 10 in one-on-one. Saying Candace Parker could play in the NBA is like saying Max could beat his most athletic cat in sock-basketball.

Oh.

Either way, the fact is still there that Candace Parker is a beast in the WNBA, and Sheldon Williams was a beast at Duke, and made it to the NBA. They are having a baby. This thread wasn't supposed to be about what a joke (aren't there like 32-38 scores??) the WNBA is.
