Candace Parker Pregnant

Candace Parker Pregnant

I would have to agree with Robert Littal of BSO that “sports media as whole tend to focus too much on the negative figures in the sports world.” We always see the drama of Stephon Marbury in the NBA, T.O. in the NFL and more more. What about those positive figures? Good thing there’s Candace Parker, the star of the LA Sparks. She is expecting a baby this spring. Baby?? Candace Parker having a baby?? What about basketball??

See…that’s the whole point. We always see this as something negative and alarming. Good thing for Candace Parker, she knows her priorities and will balance family and basketball.

“My whole career has been trying to please people in basketball,” Parker, a 22-year-old newlywed, said Friday in a telephone interview with the NY Times. “Now it’s time to please myself.” She added, “For me, family has always come first.”

Last November, she married long time boyfriend Shelden Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Another person also seeing this as something positive is her head coach, Pat Summitt, who’s opinion is the only thing that mattered for Candace Parker.

“You want your coach’s blessing,” Parker said.

And I know that my opinion doesn’t matter to her, but for me, I’m proud of what Candace Parker has accomplished. She has always been a winner in college and now in the WNBA and I am pretty sure she will bring her winning attitude to her family. She is definitely something positive to those who are trying to balance work and family. Candace Parker…a true role model.
