3 champions, 2 Season MVP, 1 DPOY, 1 Finals MVP, 1 ROTY, 1 All-Star MVP. Rawr! This lady sure did one heck of a performance in her career. She will be a Hall of Famer, without any doubt. I can still remember her in her prime as I watched with my small television in my room. I love watching her as he is like Shaq who can dominate the paint without any problem.
Thank you, Ms. Parker.
Tomorrow guys, our WNBA Pre-Season is starting.
Dallas Wings versus Indiana Fever
Minnesota Lynx versus Chicago Sky
Betting odds are not open yet, maybe they will add it later or tomorrow.
