the reason i dont take much interest in the WNBA is because there is 2 dunks in history. not in one year, not in one month, not in one night, history.

Jun.25 at 12:03 pm

j rich says:
i was also first. this is the proudest day of my life.

James AKA the artist formerly known as Krayzie Bone says:
She is a very beautiful woman. She doesn’t have that sunken cheek look many female (and male) athletes get. Also I never understand why the rim in the WNBA isn’t 9 feet tall, since sexual dimorphism ensures that women are shorter by nature anyway (never mind the diminished ammounts of tesosterone, important for muscle growth, and the different angle their hip and femurs form due to hip widening at puberty).

gartersnake says:
Bastard i mean, any way…maybe the next dunk will have 2 hands. Then they can say the 1st woman to have a 2 handed dunk and she’s the 3rd woman to dunk in WNBA history. Woo hoo!!!…does anyone miss the NBA yet? Now I’ll just be settling for crumbs this summer(Olympics, draft,etc)

For some reason I read it as ‘the second worst dunk in WNBA history’.

dfrance says:
Why is this posted now when she dunked again last night?

ciolkstar says:
Off topic, but I just read that the Spus have committed to taking Ryan Anderson of Cal with the 26th pick. Seems like good fit and could be a steal of sorts. SLAM’s mock him going 10th to NJ… But CDR, Courtney Lee and Batum, if available, would be sweet.

i wonder if this will be matched by Earl Boykins. Girls and Midgets only impress me if they jump. Get in line behind Nate Robinson, Candice.

ciolkstar says:
The womens game is flawed by more than the lack of dunks. The game is just not graceful or impressive looking for the most part. its a Floor bound game,clumsy post moves, two handed set shots, etc… Deana Nolan is pretty rad though, She’s like the female AI.

Women’s basketball is more boring than women’s soccer, hockey, women’s golf, men’s golf without Tiger, and The XFL combined.

TADOne says:
I heart Candace.

Jun.25 at 1:33 pm

BETCATS says:
i wonder if Sean May can still dunk?

Jun.25 at 1:35 pm

riggs says:
why the hell is she marrying shelden williams :(

Jun.25 at 1:42 pm

BETCATS says:
odivsoly, it was the last thing Sheldon got while it was on the rebound, riggs.

Shelden is probably extremely nice to her. Maybe they’re soul mates! :)

candace has two of the most memorable moments in wnba history already…now only if michelle snow can regain her fire, she could be throwin’ ‘em down all over the opposition with no opposition

Jun.25 at 3:12 pm

k.o. says:
good for her. she coulda jumped from further too

Jun.25 at 3:27 pm

TADOne says:
I don’t heart Co Co.

Jun.25 at 3:45 pm

WhaHuh says:
why is it so rare? The average WNBA height has got to be at least 6′2″. Most male basketball players can dunk at 6 foot (see cp3/iverson)

Jun.25 at 4:06 pm

Mo Charlo says:
Dangerous question WhaHuh. I’ll put it this way. To join the Marines, females don’t have to do as many pull-ups, push-ups, or run as fast. See if you can figure it out.

Jun.25 at 4:54 pm

XAVIER says:
i cant belive they never dunk in the wnba

Jun.25 at 4:56 pm

the big greatest 1 says:
yall r all wack!

Jun.25 at 5:03 pm

Gerard Himself says:
The WNBA needs a female early nineties Kemp: poaterizing other women, hanging on the rim, grabbing her vag after a dunk, slamming on some woman called Lister, that would be awesome.

Jun.25 at 5:32 pm

The Promise says:
She didnt dunk it. She done a layup and grabbed the rim. Cmon.

For all those DUNK crazy MEN, the GAME of basketball is not based on dunks. It is a game based on teamwork. Dunks don’t win the games. If there are no dunks someone still wins or loses. How boring is it to watch an NBA game and one player DUNKS 20 times scores say 80 points and Loses the game! That’s BORING!

Jun.25 at 6:57 pm

Blackberry says:
Oh by the way Deanna Nolan who is about 6ft has dunked. There are other WNBA players who can dunk they just don’t. They play the game!

Jun.25 at 7:23 pm

j rich says:
expect great…then get let down

Jun.25 at 7:36 pm

Jukai says:
Okay, so you’re saying they WANT the game to be boring, Blackberry?

Jun.25 at 7:41 pm

Jukai says:
You know, I was going to mention Britney Griner, and how when she gets to the NBA, she’s going to be dunking every twenty seconds, but I just youtubed her and heard her speak… lemme tell you, that’s a dude, no doubt in my mind.

Jun.25 at 7:58 pm

funkymunky says:
LOL Jukai, I was thinking the same thing! Griner is like Juwanna Mann hahaha.

Jun.25 at 8:45 pm

The Promise says:
Jukai, WTF are u serious?

Jun.25 at 10:36 pm

what says:
Britney Griner and Joakim Noah are identical twins.

d.Y. says:
that’s mad funny what. also, if i never told you, that hello brooklyn remix is bananas. i gave a copy to my dj to spin at nightclubs. Nice Dunk Candace, now get busy on that Quintouple Double.

Jun.25 at 11:40 pm

Blackberry says:
Nope Jukai the games aren’t boring if you are watching the teamwork and not just for the dunks. Granted dunking adds excitement, I will give you that, but it’s not the main focus of the game. Anyway what are you guys going to say when your daughters say they want to play and got game but can’t dunk? Will you call them boring?(smile)

Jun.25 at 11:56 pm

d.Y. says:
that’s a low blow blackberrysweetjuice… but i feel you. hey i never slept on women’s ball, plus the liberty arent a pathetic laughingstock like the knicks, and it’s less for a ticket than one of those horrid hot dogs in the garden. all i care about is a fun game with some good drama.

Jun.26 at 12:50 am

Jukai says:
I wont call my daughter boring, but chances are she will be. What a stupid thing to say.

Jun.26 at 12:50 am

Jukai says:
Also, my daughter will be able to dunk, no doubt.

Chukaz says:
I don’t watch the WNBA. I was a little interested and was gonna watcha couple of games this year before I heard those WNBA commercials telling me how much the WNBA sucks. By the way Candace is way to hot for Sheldon (it’s not that she is actually hot, is just that Sheldon’s is very weird looking to say the least).

Jun.26 at 2:33 am

Chukaz says:
BTW, this b*tch is like the second coming of Jason Richardson. The Sternbot should totally have her on the Slam dunk contest next year.

Jun.26 at 2:38 am

Chukaz says:
BREAKING NEWS: The WNBA has annonced that they will have a dunk contest during this years all-star break. The only contestant is Candace Parker. Our insiders tell us that she will attempt a one-handed dunk. The WNBA is also looking into the possibility of a lay-up contest and a set shot shoot out.

Jun.26 at 2:44 am

Chukaz says:
BREAKING NEWS: The WNBA has decided that there will be a lay-up competition. Contestants will be Candace Parker from L.A.’s girls team, the chick that plays for the Lady Spurs, ESPN’s Swinn Cash, and the other chick that plays for L.A.’s girls team. The chick that plays for the female version of the Suns declined and invitation as did a chick from the NY Ladybockers.

The women of the wnba should get the respect they deserve.

Jun.26 at 3:56 am

Hursty says:
lol Chukaz, that was actually pretty funny.

Jun.26 at 5:53 am

KA says:
candice is pretty hot. even if her nostrils are a bit too flared. id hit it.

Jun.26 at 11:40 am

Gerard Himself says:
Chukaz, that’s so wrong that it’s brilliant.

Jun.26 at 2:45 pm

Blackberry says:
Not a stupid thing to say but it should make you think about what you say and how it could affect even your own family. Jukai good to know that you will back your daughter even though she may be boring to you!

Jun.26 at 2:46 pm

Blackberry says:
oh that’s right you won’t be honest enough to tell her that!

Jun.26 at 4:45 pm

Sis says:
Girls are just as good as guys!!

Goody says:
Love is in the air. Give it up for the girl no matter who she marries, how she looks or acts. She told you to expect great my good people. Mad love to Slam, my men Ben and Khalid both doin it big in NYC. Stay Peace. Hoop Madness on the rise baby… God Bless
