If you over heard someone in your office talking about the big brawl last night on TV, the first thing that would come to your mind is baseball. After that maybe a good WWE wrestling match, but if you guessed that you are dead wrong. This brawl took place in Los Angeles but it was not the Dodgers, but the Los Angeles Sparks fighting against the Detroit Shock. That’s right the WNBA, women’s basketball. What began as a reqular home game for the Sparks turned within 4.6 seconds left into a real Royal Rumble. The Sparks were up by four when Candace Parker (Sparks) tripped over Plenette Pierson. Parker threw a punch at Pierson and both teams came onto the floor. Hey, this fight was so deep that even assistant coach for the Shock Rick Mahorn was hit in the back by DeLisha Milton-Jones. Former MVP of the All-Star game Cheryl Ford was even knocked to the ground.

Tough Lost At Home For The Sparks
July 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment
With the beginning of the fourth quarter the Los Angeles Sparks lead with 62-51, but the New York Liberty would not go out that easy. With 1:41 remaining the Liberty used a 22-8 spree to move ahead 83-74. By the end of the game the Liberty walked a way with a 89-78 victory. Shameka Christon scored a career-high 28 pts and Janel McCarville added 15 pts and also tied a season best with eight rebounds for the Liberty. “Getting Lisa ( Leslie) out of the game was huge for us,” said McCarville. Lisa Leslie had 12 pts before fouling out with 6:55 to play. Candace Parker had 18 pts, 10 boards, four blocks, three assist and three steals. The Sparks now stand 10-5 in the West and the Liberty are 8-7 out in the East. The Sparks missed 10 of 15 shots and grabbed just three rebounds to the Liberty’s nine in the fourth.

WNBA/NBA Combo
April 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Candace Parker has done a lot this year. She won Back-to-Back NCAA Women’s National Championship and she was the No. 1 pick overall in this years WNBA draft. And one more thing she maybe doing is upstaging her current NBA big brother Anthony Parker who plays for the Toronto Raptors. In the playoffs Anthony is averaging 12 pts per game. When she makes her debut this spring, they will become the second sister/brother, WNBA/NBA players. The first was done by Mfon Udoka, who played 25 games for the Houston Comets back in 2003 while her brother Ime Udoka played four games on a 10-day contract with the Lakers. Udoka now plays for the Spurs. Candace will play her first WNBA game on May 17th at Phoenix and this game will be played on ABC. Anthony and the Toronto Raptors won big last night aganist the Orlando Magic, but my only question is who will win a Championship first……my money is on little sis.

Atlanta’s new WNBA team will officially tip off its season on May 17th. The first game will be against the Connecticut Sun, but the first home game of the season will be on May 23rd against Bill Laimbeer and his defending Eastern Conference Champs Detroit Shock. As a member of the WNBA’s Eastern Conference, Atlanta’s home schedule features 10 games versus conference opponents and seven non-conference match-ups. The league has schedule alot of games to cater around families. Most home games will be played on Friday or Saturday at 7:30pm with three others being played on Sunday at 3pm. One of the best games I think will be when the Lisa Leslie and the Los Angeles Sparks come to Atlanta on May 25th. Early January 2008, we should know what the team name, logo and colors will be. Stay tuned to Sideline Show for all updates.
