With two weeks of the WNBA season already behind us, it’s time for an unprecedented drop including a handful of vintage W Moments. On Friday, May 27, we’re flashing back to 2008’s finest.
We’re talking the year Candace Parker made history as a newfound pro. It’s the stuff of legend. She took home both the Rookie of the Year and MVP award — a WNBA first. She brought back rim-rocking to the women’s game. From Volunteer to Spark, she made her greatness known.
Alongside Candace, these upcoming packs showcase players with resumes that will blow your mind.
There are WNBA Top 25 members, Olympic gold medalists, WNBA Champions, multiple All-Stars, All-Rookie First-Teamers. Cash, Leslie, Hammon, Whalen and more!
