Candace Parker Pledges To Donate To Alzheimer's Association In Honor Of Pat Summitt

Update: Parker had seven rebounds, two blocks, and two steals as the Tulsa Shock beat the L.A. Sparks to snap a WNBA record 20-game losing streak.
There are four WNBA games on tonight, but one of the best things occurring is that Los Angeles Sparks forward Candace Parker will be playing in honor of Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who announced that she's been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's on Tuesday.
A number of people in the Tennessee family from Alexis Hornbuckle to Peyton Manning have made public statements in support of their schools icon, but tonight Parker will be wearing orange shoes as part of “wear orange to support Pat Summitt” day (video from Summitt here) and playing to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association in accordance with the basketball principles that Summitt preaches.
While I'll be rooting for a career-highs and a quadruple-double in that game (10 p.m. EDT on NBA TV), there are also playoff implications across the four-game schedule tonight.
SBN Seattle is tracking the Western Conference playoff picture and there are a few details on the Eastern Conference below.
|
Who: Connecticut Sun vs. Phoenix Mercury Preview: WNBA.com preview What: After the Seattle Storm's win last night, the Mercury are playing for second place in the Western Conference while the Sun will look to solidify their place in the standings. Their last game went into overtime, so this should be a pretty good one. |
Who: Minnesota Lynx vs. San Antonio Silver Stars Preview: WNBA.com preview |
|
Who: Chicago Sky vs. Washington Mystics Where: Allstate Arena - Rosemont, IL |
Who: Los Angeles Sparks vs. Tulsa Shock When: 10:30 p.m. EDT on NBA TV/WNBA Live Access Where: Staples Center - Los Angeles, CA Preview: WNBA.com preview What: In addition to Parker's fundraising effort described above, the Sparks have another really good opportunity to pick up a game on the Silver Stars in the Western Conference standings with a win tonight. The Shock will look to break their 20-game losing streak with a win against the Sparks, who they've played close in previous games. |
Feel free to leave your additional links, insights, and calculations of how much money Parker has made in the comments below.

I was surprised that the players
looked so good back then. There hasn’t been as much improvement as I thought.
Well remember it was the final game...
…and the Lib and Comets were 2 of the teams that started off relatively solid because they had people like Weatherspoon and Cooper showing everyone what it meant to be a pro.
The improvement is more obvious at the lower end of the standings.

The really bad thing is that
you are gonna miss “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh” with Dr J in it, tomorrow night at 9PM on NBA-TV…
Boost Mobile
is all over this “Top 15 WNBA Moments show”. In fact, it is presented to you by Boost Mobile.
They just showed Candace Wiggins commenting on
Cynthia Cooper, and didn’t even recognize her. #extramakeupon
McCoughtry with 42 and Pondexter with 36
in the playoffs last year. Highest two-player total ever. A couple of tough competitors who can get their shot off when the defense is on full blast.
Just realized I haven't even been tracking
the Top 15 Moments in WNBA History.
I guess one was Parker winning both MVP and ROTY.
Another was Sue Bird passing behind her legs to a trailing Lauren Jackson in the all-star game.
Another was Cappie/Angel shoot out last year in the playoffs.
Barack Obama visit to Mystics/Shock game.
They showed Jennifer Lacy slapping five with Obama on an inbounds play.
Leslie’s first dunk another top 15.
Sophia Young shot at the buzzer in 2008 playoff with LA.
Nikki Teasley
hitting a winning shot against the Liberty in the finals. (Queenie must really dislike that one).
I SAID TOO DAMN MANY SPARKS
&^&^%&(&%^(ing Teasley *(^&()&^%^&(O^&^%$^&%$^&%^&^%$##@$$#!!!!

also, I do not think that playoff game with McCoughtry and Pondexter is one of the league’s greatest moments, nor am I awed by that pass from the 2003 ASG.

http://www.aolnews.com/2010/09/08/the-works-luis-scola-the-superstar-and-the-pending-death-of-usa/
I sort of think the power of that game lies at least partially in its ability to capture attention of NBA fans on a big stage, as we discussed then…
But I agree that even I have seen better games/performances in KeyArena in just 2-3 years…

this is not my list
I’m a big shot kind of girl, so I’d throw Bethany Donaphin in 2004 and Brooke Wyckoff in the 2005 Finals in there. First ASG, maybe. I hate to say it, but Leslie sweeping the MVPs in 2001. “There’s a dynasty in the WNBA!” Anne Donovan turning around the Sting. The Rumble at the Gund, though that’s not great so much as it’s “oh, hey, we need to work out rules for mass suspensions!”

Thank you, NBA TV
Lynx/Silver Stars should be a top level show for BBALL addicts and lovers.
Is Riley now a consistent 3 point shooter for San Antonio?
LA/Tulsa.
On any given day the law of professional sports averages can bring victory
to the team who struggles, such as Tulsa. They performed competitively vs.
the 1st place Lynx lately. Since Tulsa is obviously in the re-building phase
they need to give Liz C more than 30 minutes a night. What if Houston had
refused to let Yao M. play more than 25 minutes a night a on consistent basis
and forced him to take less than 10 shots per night?
Earlier this week DC proved that it can beat the Chicago Sky
and they would have done so if Ajavon had been more careful
and not reached in on E. Prince at half court when the 4th quarter clock
was about to expire.
That Ajavon foul reminded me of the foul
they called on Crossley in the playoffs against Pondexter. if the offensive player goes to the ground, they are gonna call it. I don’t think Ajavon made any contact with Prince.
"...the law of professional sports averages can bring victory to the team who struggles, such as Tulsa."
On top of that, they’re only getting more desperate… and played the Sparks very well twice recently (once with Parker).
It’s not unthinkable… but on the road in a back to back after getting beat up by Seattle last night? It would be a truly amazing victory, for sure. given their season thus far.
SwishAppeal.com for women's basketball...SB Nation Seattle for Seattle sports...and trying to maintain a Golden State of Mind about the Warriors. Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
The talent disparity in the WNBA isn't terribly large
even with Tulsa clearly being the worst team. I would think that they will win at least one or even two more games, especially if they play some playoff bound teams with no risk of losing playoff position, and they decide to take a “Yankee last regular season game” break.
If Candace Parker can be assigned to a guard on defense
she can a triple double for steals, rebounds, and blocks
Or they could just zone up
and let her play help D in the paint.
Just that we can talk seriously about Parker playing so many different ways speaks to her immense talent level…

whatever gets her those stats
and gets those donations flowing.

Adams...
Makes this team so much better.
Similar to what LJ does for the Storm – NOT the same obviously – she balances the court by giving them someone who can score around the basket and away from the basket, meaning everyone else becomes harder to guard.
Amazing talent….

She makes it look so easy
That three looked so casual…like she was just trying to put the ball…somewhere she wasn’t. “Yeah I guess I’ll just throw the ball over there.” And then…three! I’m just SMH over here.

Ajavon did not need to take the risk
It was not clear to me that Prince was in the act of shooting
when the contact happened. If it wasn’t really a shooting foul
then I wonder if Prince would have been awarded any free throws.
Do they have that “in the penalty” rule in the WNBA?
If Ajavon would have focused on screening/obstructing Prince’s path
Prince probably would have missed her hail mary heave shot.
Seimone

a 10 steals and 10 blocks is almost as realistic as 10 plus rebounds.

yeah, i don't want her psyche to be messed with. she should be allowed to just play through mistakes
basketball is a game of mistakes.
True...
And she started well.. so it’s not like she’s incapable..
But also consider that, like Kayla Pedersen, she had a very long season playing a lot of minutes…
She might just have run out of gas having to go up against more physical and athletic players at the end of a long college season…
All speculation though…

I can give them that
and in Pedersen’s case, she’s getting a first hand lesson on what it’s like on a team that’s not used to winning most of its games….
Yeah...
That’s disappointing…
Losing Perkins was big…
But also, as we’ve discussed with Washington, losing Christon was big blow too. A lineup with Sloot/Canty – Prince – Christon – Snow – Fowles would’ve been very, very hard to defend…

So I was just half paying attention and the Lynx
announcer is talking about some gesture in which the players are disrespecting the game??
I missed the gesture becasue I was away lighting candles
I could guess he was referring to a player making a taunting sort of gesture. He doesn’t seem to be one for clamping down on celebration in general. Like he never says “Wow, Wiggins needs to chill out.” ;)

I think Jasmine actually could be a starter in this league if she can rein in her speed at times, like the point guard of the other team.
as with Dunlap, she has potential to be a rotation 4 at least, but in a season like this, I want to see her play more minutes than DeMya Walker

there is one and only one redeeming quality to the Leslie dunk
I will always be able to see a few seconds of my beloved Miami Sol. ILU, Ron Rothstein.
New York will always be my team… but the Sol owned my heart.
I am the victim of a basketball jones.
the Libs had me first
and will have me last. And the 2000 Libs were one of my teams.
But I loved Debbie Black, and I loved Sandy Brondello, and I loved Elena Baranova, and I loved Kisha Ford, and I loved Umeki Webb, and then Ron Rothstein put them ALL on the SAME TEAM. It was like Miami was building my personal fantasy team.
He took advantage of people’s stupidity and stole Elena Baranova for a song, and he picked up Sheri Sam off the waiver wire because Carolyn Peck has ALWAYS been an idiot with an ego, and he fleeced Indiana out of Sandy Brondello because they wanted their Purdue girl, and he fleeced Minnesota out of Betty Lennox, and I love seeing smart coaches and GMs go to work.
I am the victim of a basketball jones.
addendum
for many years, I resented Nykesha Sales simply because I felt she was the only reason the Miracle were chosen to move to Connecticut and become the Sun instead of my beloved Sol. Friggin’ Husky.
Of course, this led to me literally dancing and squealing in my dorm room when we picked up Elena in the dispersal draft.
I think if the Sol had moved, I might have jumped ship, or at least had much more divided loyalties.

Looks like
It will be the Big 9 for a period with someone joining back up to make it back to 10. I know SMU was on Dallas radio stumping to get a BCS invite today. Other teams talked about are Houston, Louisville, BYU and ND (I think this is ND is the biggest reach)…
There is also local talk that the SEC’s 14th team will be Missouri. I think if this happens the Big 12 seriously has the potential to just dissolve. If it’s down to 8 teams, it’s going to be tough to get it back to 10 (which is in the TV contracts)… hello Pac 16? ;) lol

There's an article that
lists Arkansas as another “top three candidate” but says that they are a real long shot, like Notre Dame.
Growing up around the Big 8/Southwest Conference
I do not see the flip flop happening. I think the A&M vs. Arkie rivalry would be a great draw for the SEC…
by Jessica Lantz on Aug 26, 2011 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions
why would the hogs wanna leave the SEC?
Notre Dame…. hmm.. I think they will ultimately go to the Big East if there’s a way they can get a larger than proportionate share of football revenue. If another Catholic school goes up to FBS like Villanova, that makes the chances that much greater..
I think it is more a case of
the Big 12 having them on their wish list, than of Arkansas being a legitimate candidate.
I haven't heard that here in Oklahoma...
I don’t really think this area is interested in Arkansas, to be honest…

OOOOOHHHH
So NOW you’re open to the Pac-16…
You’ll have to beg.
Seriously though, what incentive does Notre Dame have to join a conference?
What I’m really happy about though is how clear it is that the NCAA and its member institutions care so much for their athletes, giving these wide-eyed student-athletes an opportunity to travel all over the damn country to expose them to new places and people instead of attending those boring classes to obtain the Man’s book knowledge.

I was open before
Ha. Well. For football anyway…I just don’t like the excessive travel idea for the other sports….
As for ND – they have no incentive in football…they’ve already pretty much dictated their spot having Big East affiliation in all but football and having an huge-o tv contract for that sport. The talk revolves around the fact that the Texas AD DeLoss Dodds (who seems to be the show-runner) has become very close to the ND AD in recent months….

Jennifer Lacy is one of the few players in the WNBA
who was not drafted. That’s to her credit, but I don’t know that she is starter material.
Who was the offensive foul on?
I was just about to say no one is in shoving position on Cambage so she should be dangerous.

That’s a win for the SEC almost any way you slice it to me… for both men’s and women’s…

Actually, I'd prefer to have that kind of depth.
Living in Knoxville, it’s nice having and all-UT, all-the-time conference for wbb, but the games would be more exciting for the other teams if it wasn’t “play each other and play UT” every season. Add in A&M and maybe another quality team, and it might be enough. With UGA, LSU, and Kentucky all there, and Vandy always in contention, the league’s deeper than it looks, but it’s not quite to that tipping point yet.
And I still think Florida is one to watch.

I nominate right now for one of the greatest moments in WNBA history
Here’s a team in the middle of a 20 game losing streak, nothing to play for, on the road in a back to back and they’re fighting with a team led by Candace Parker that’s trying to get into the playoffs.
Nothing like the classic spoiler role…

Tiff Jackson
misses the layup, Latta steals it back, and then I don’t know what happened, but Sparks ball. And then the Sparks turn it over. They don’t seem to want to smash the Shock, or be able to.
“Tulsa does not look like a 1-25 team tonight”.
but one of the Shock trademarks shows up.

Tulsa needs to find someone that can make
a jumper in the next few minutes. Somebody must make a shot, or they lose.
Announcer suggests Swoopes
faked an injury to rest. But says he doesn’t thnk the timeout Teresa Edwards took “was in the cards”.
What's interesting here is that both teams are at risk of losing composure....
LA, even with their veterans, really has a lot riding on every game and this one has to be one they looked at as a potential win. The risk of becoming part of a trivia question (which two teams did the 2011 Tulsa Shock beat? or Which team did Tulsa beat to end their streak) puts a lot of pressure on them….
Tulsa, is obviously on the brink of doing something they haven’t done in so long that nerves/over-excitement is bound to be a factor…

LA rebounding ...
I hadn’t written this up yet…
LA has been outrebounded (badly by oreb %) in each of their games since Parker’s return…
One main problem is that Parker is just about the only consistent rebounder… and somehow their bigs can’t stay with an active player like Jackson…
