Candace Parker Becomes the Second Woman to Dunk in a WNBA Game

We don't do much WNBA around these parts, but this is definitely worth checking out. The Sparks' Candace Parker became just the second woman to dunk in a WNBA game, breaking away for the one-handed jam during a home victory yesterday.



Besides the dunk being a semi-historic event, there are a couple of other great things about this video. The announcer for the highlight reel is John Ireland, a sideline reporter for the Lakers who is clearly still bummed about the beating his team took in the NBA Finals, and couldn't care less about Parker's feat. Then there's Sparks' coach Michael Cooper. Coop's been known to say some dumb things in the past, but calling the dunk "exuberating" is really pushing the boundaries of the English language (exhilarating, maybe, coach?). And comparing the dunk to something Michael Jordan might have done? Well, let's just say I'd be in favor of drug testing for head coaches.
