    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?

    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.

    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

    At first glance I thought this thread was titled: "Woman OutDRINKS Men"

    Thought maybe I had found my wife.
