Candace Parker’s career is quite the ride. How they fit it all into 90 minutes is extremely impressive. Nonetheless, what are a few moments in the Parker timeline that the documentary actually covers?
Well, there’s a whole segment on Candace choosing to attend Tennessee. So much media hoopla surrounded this decision of Parker back in the day. In regards to her big choice, Candace says, “Pat Summitt is the best coach that could prepare me for the next level.” Enough said.
Moreover, the entire documentary isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. Candace also notes the occasion on not making the 2016 USA Olympic team in Rio. She recalls,
“I remember being angry. I remember being upset. I put miles on my body and I did all this extra media stuff … I was mad at my time I spent away from my family.”
Therefore, as one can see, throughout the film Candace is open, honest and very real. However, what’s next for the basketball star currently staring season 15 in the eyes? Speaking on possibly playing next season Parker states,
“I’ll weigh my options. If I feel really, really good then I’ll play. That’s a big if. I’ve got to get my foot right. My foot was really bad last year. I don’t want to cheat the game or cheat myself.”
We are sure that she won’t cheat herself or anyone. Until that final decision is made, we can all just enjoy her documentary. However, did you miss the premiere, but still wish to catch this awesome film? No problem. You can check it out and stream it over on ESPN+.
