Candace Parker pregnant? update she is, it's confirmed and even on WNBA.comThere is a story out in the russian news claiming that she did not arrive to Europe b/c being with child possibly. Here is a link to the translated version of the site http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fummcteam.my1.ru%2F&... and LA Sparks have been rumored to delay renewal of season tickets....could it be b/c of a bun in the oven of their star player? If it's true then congrats to her and Sheldon, even if as a fan this season is going to suck. I'm gonna wait till the season in Europe starts up again before I truly believe it, or until she says so herself. Submitted by maggieyeahis (1054 posts) on January 6, 2009 - 1:12am. |

This sucks, for the SParks
"Candace Parker Expecting Her First Child This Spring
Last year was a year of firsts for Candace Parker. In 2008 she was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks, she was the first woman in the WNBA to win both Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player and she captured her first Olympic Gold Medal at the Summer Games in Beijing. Entering a new year, Parker has another special first to look forward to. This spring, she and husband Shelden Williams of the Sacramento Kings are expecting their first child.
“Shelden and I are very excited to be expanding our family,” said Parker. “We feel blessed and look forward to becoming parents.”
“We are happy to welcome a new addition into the Sparks family and on behalf of the entire organization we congratulate both Candace and Shelden,” said Penny Toler, Los Angeles Sparks General Manager.
Parker will continue to work out in preparation to participate in the 2009 WNBA season.
Parker nearly averaged a double-double her rookie season (18.5 ppg, 9.5 rpg) and she led the WNBA in rebounds. She earned the 2008 WNBA Rookie of the Year award and the Most Valuable Player award marking the first time in the WNBA’s 12 seasons that a rookie has won MVP. Parker won back-to-back NCAA championships with the Lady Vols in 2007 and 2008. She led the team in scoring (20.6 ppg) and rebounding (8.8 rpg) her final season at Tennessee. Parker was named the 2007 and 2008 Collegiate Female John R. Wooden Player of the Year, State Farm Player of the Year, Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Year and Kodak All-American. She earned the NCAA Final Four MVP award in 2007 and 2008."
"Come On Then Get These Good Done Debbies"
This is just boo for some b-ball fans
like myself. But since the kid is going to be born in the spring, and she plans on playing this year.........was she pregnant the last months she was playing in the WNBA. If this is true than I must quote someone from the candace parker forum and say "thats a shame they had 6 people on the court and still couldn't beat san antonio."
