In 2002, WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie dunked in a game. No other WNBA player has been able to replicate that feat… until now. Young Candace Parker of the LA Sparks dunked in two games in a row this weekend. She's the second player to dunk in an WNBA match up, but the first to do it in back-to-back games. Although to a layperson like me, this just seems like a cool bit of trivia, the sports columnists tell me "it's not about the mere act of dunking, or boldly going where all but one woman hadn't gone before. It's about the evolution of the women's game." [PE] |
