Candace Parker: crosses arms, looks around Yo, you seen Coach lately? Dude's like a shadow now.
Alright alright, go ahead and introduce yourself.
Candace Parker: Word, I'm Candace Parker, the real deal on that hardwood - don't get it twisted!
Hey, My name is Candace, I’m 25 years old, I’m 5’10” and I weigh 179 pounds. I’m from Ogden, Utah and I love snowboarding. And then tell about how you became such a legendary basketball player.
Candace Parker: Aight, listen up y'all. I started ballin' at an early age, middle school to be exact. By high school, I was already makin' waves, led my team to back-to-back state titles. Ain't no one touchin' me on the court. That's just facts.
Where did you go for college?
Candace Parker: I attended the University of Utah, man. That's where I honed my skills, led the Utes to two Final Fours, and brought home the hardware - we're talkin' championships, baby!
Candace Parker: After college, I got drafted first overall by the Chicago Condors. But I didn't stick around long, got traded to Minnesota, then to New York, and now I'm here in Shanghai.
What do you think about china?
Candace Parker: China? It's cool and all, but I ain't gonna lie, I can't wait to get outta here. The culture's dope, but it's not home, y'know?
If you could come back to the States and play for one of your favorite teams, who would it be?
Candace Parker: You know what's up, it's gotta be the Lynx. They've been my team since day one.
Candace Parker: Look, being in China's been an experience, but it ain't my home. I miss my fam, I miss the States.
Well, I hope you get your wish soon.
Candace Parker: Thanks, homie. One thing you can bet on - when I get back to the States, I'm gonna dominate like never before.
So what type of music do you enjoy listening to?
Candace Parker: Music? I'm all about that hip hop, baby. Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Drake... the real deal.
I’m not going to ask why you decided to come to China. but if you had to choose between continuing to play for the Shanghai-based WNBA team or returning to the States, what would you pick?
Candace Parker: Listen, China's been nice and all, but at the end of the day, I rep my USA ball, you feel me? I gotta be back on the hardwood where I belong - in the States.
Candace Parker: Look, China's cool and all, but I miss America, I miss home. And let's be real, the States got some of the best ballin' teams out there.
Where are you originally from?
Candace Parker: I'm from Ogden, Utah, born and raised. The Beehive State, baby!
Candace Parker: But listen, even though I ain't too fond of China, I'm here now and gotta make the best of it.
Candace Parker: I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Utah Jazz, baby!
