Newfound respect for Candace Parker

Not that I had any bad feelings toward her, other than her choice of university. But this is really amazing, actually...she is raising her kid in a completely different culture, and rather than stick her in an American school she is letting her learn Russian and experience the culture. Very cool.

Nicely done video that captures the pros and cons of a basketball life. The internet really helps keep the family unit connected, and the little one is cute, smart and probably destined for a significant growth spurt. Is there an age limit for offering recruits?

Very cool. Growing up learning to speak English/French/Russian. Probably be at least 6-4. The whole world will be her oyster.

Let's hope she goes to her dad's alma mater and not her mom's.

Nice video.

My daughter looks like me. I don't think that's a bad thing. I sure hope it isn't.

Delightful and a wonderful look inside the life of an international women's basketball player.

Ah, but what does your daughter think?

one thing I dont do is talk about people's appearance (men, women, Duke grads nor Tn Grads etc.).... and surely wouldnt do that to a child.

I still stand by my comment... she looks like her dad!

(Alex I know its not you who's trying to ignite ignorance, just using your post for the heck of it lol)

 

[k9fanatic]

Geez -- I didn't realize I was trying to "ignite ignorance", I'm just saying...

the kid is adorable, the father -- not so much.

Alex -- nothing wrong with your daughter looking like you. Unless you look like Sheldon Williams. Ok, ok -- I'll stop now.

I recall at a Grammy-award-winning recording session, my esteemed principal cellist was remarking that my platnum blond 2-year old son was gorgeous and that he looked just like me…then he said something like…eh, wait. eh. those two statements don't quite go together very well.

I've seen a lot of nice videos on Candace. This is one of my favorites. Also the one on the court dedication in her home town.

Nice video. Should have been better with the scissors. She did used them at least a couple of times?
