One Small Step for Woman...


Candace Parker is probably one of the two or three best basketball players in the entire NCAA, regardless of gender. And now she is going to exercise the option that has been there for so many of her male counterparts in the past.

Candace Parker is “coming out early” to make herself eligible for the WNBA draft (in which she will be the #1 pick) and she also intends on playing for the US Olympic team. Parker, who in addition to being a great shooter and defender can also dunk, lead her team to a title and may do so again this year. She red shirted her freshman year, and unlike most of the previously mentioned college men who left early, she will graduate a few weeks after she is taken in the draft.

I think this is a great step for the cause of women’s basketball in this country and I am happy and proud to name Candace Parker Stud of the Week!

God, Jon. You are so sexist. Studette? What the hell is that? Does the name of the post mean nothing to you? ;)
