Candace Parker Biography
Candace Parker is the most accredited women’s basketball player of all time. Throughout her career, Parker has been known for her ability to win at all levels. This knack for shattering glass ceilings became prevalent in the early 2000s in her hometown of Naperville, Chicago. Since then, Parker’s notoriety has only grown, from bringing legendary Coach Pat Summitt her final two national championships at Tennessee to being the first WNBA player to appear on the cover of NBA 2K as the central athlete of the 25th Anniversary Special Edition. In 2025, the LA Sparks honored Parker and retired her jersey.
Both on and off the court, Parker has continued to build a legacy that she hopes will inspire others to break through glass ceilings. Parker is the founder of Baby Hair Productions, an athlete advisor of Avenue Capital, and the first-ever President of Adidas Women’s Basketball. As a mother and an empowered Black woman, Parker has developed into a bold, insightful, and inspiring thought leader who is passionate about the importance of women’s rights, voters’ rights, and Black Lives Matter.
She serves as a mother of three, public speaker, activist, entrepreneur and NBA commentator and broadcaster. In 2025, she joined Prime Video as a studio analyst for NBA coverage.
