Candace Parker Questions WNBA All-Star Game Performance

The seven-time WNBA All-Star, Candace Parker, expressed her discontent with the performance shown in this year’s All-Star Game. Parker, in a recent appearance on a podcast, called the meeting “horrible”.

Y’all can’t wear those ‘Pay us what you owe us’ shirts and then do that.

Parker was referring to the warm-up shirts that both teams wore on July 19th, in response to the failed negotiations over the collective bargaining agreement with the league, which took place that same week. The players are seeking better salaries and benefits, among other improvements. The game set a record in the WNBA All-Star Game for points scored, and Napheesa Collier set an individual record with 36 points. Team Collier defeated Team Clark with a score of 151-131. The defense was conspicuous by its absence, as the league’s stars allowed their opponents to take unopposed shots. Although the situation is no different from that of other all-star games in other professional leagues, Parker expected more from the WNBA players, especially at a time when they are under the spotlight.

I think in one of the biggest stages, in an All-Star environment where more was invested than in any previous All-Star game… I think it really would have maximized the moment.

Fever forward Aliyah Boston, who played on Team Clark, defended her teammates’ performance.

An All-Star Game, where we have another game in two days, I think it’s good to go out and play and have fun. Because on Tuesday, we got back to action, and we played and showed once again why we deserve to get paid.
