Candace Parker throws it down

Watch as rookie superstar Candace Parker becomes just the second player in the WNBA to dunk in a game:

“Ala, Michael Jordan?” asked-stated Los Angeles Sparks coach Michael Cooper after the game. For Coop, the answer is maybe yes, maybe no. Parker appears to have what it takes to take her game to an unprecedented level in the WNBA. And in joining teammate Lisa Leslie as the only other WNBA player to dunk in the game, Parker makes the Los Angeles Sparks may be the most exciting team in the league.

It is strange that first dunk elicited a huge response from the national media. The second dunk? Not so much. And expect them to receive even less attention as Parker does it more and more often.
