The WNBA recently began its 25th anniversary season. And with the Chicago Sky signing of veteran basketball star Candace Parker this winter, the team has a legitimate shot at the championship.
Parker’s signing was a homecoming of sorts. While the two-time MVP played most of her career in Los Angeles, she was raised in the Chicago suburbs, and was a three-time “Ms. Basketball” while playing at Naperville Central High School.
