[Awe-Inspiring]

Candace Parker won a slam dunk contest over five guys that LeBron James and Carmello Anthony have won in the past.

Questions:

How hot does that make Parker?

Could she develop into a female sports icon who eclipses the Williams sisters and Hamm?

What does this portend for women's basketball?

Parker beat out five male competitors to win the Slam Dunk contest of the McDonald's High School All-American Game.


high school. Not nearly as impressive as if it were college, let alone pro.

moving to basketball...

She won because she dunked.

This is ridiculous that anyone would even imply that she out dunked the other contestants. It is simply misleading reporting.

Watch the footage for yourself before you think I'm simply bashing women.

She won because she dunked.
If you want to call that a dunk. It looked more like a glorified finger-roll to me.

How does that differ from when Spud Webb won the NBA Slam Dunk contest? :confused:

I think it does her a disservice. She's a fantastic player, but now everyone will just know her as that girl who can sorta dunk.

that was pretty weak the last guy could have done a simple reverse or something and won it but tried to be too fancy
