September 19, 2008 - WNBA rookie Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks is on track to make women’s basketball history as the first of three rounds of playoffs begin tonight.
Parker and the No. 3 seed Sparks begin the quest for their first championship since 2002 in a Western Conference home game against No. 2 seed Seattle Storm.
The Trifecta: Parker will be looking to add to this year’s accomplishments of leading the Tennessee Lady Vols to a second NCAA championship in a row and helping the USA win the Olympic gold medal in Beijing.
No woman has accomplished the college, pro and Olympic trifecta in the same season. On the men’s side, only Boston Celtics center Bill Russell can make the claim.
What do you think? Will she make history?
