AND SHE CAN DUNK TOO!

CANDACE PARKER IS WNBA MVP & ROY!

She's young but she routinely and thoroughly outplays stars 5-10 years older.

She's big but she outruns and outdribbles most WNBA point guards.

She's pretty but she outrebounds and outmuscles heftier and more, ehem, "masculine" players.

She's 22 year old Candace Parker, the LA Sparks' prized rookie, who has just made history by being the first WNBA player to win both the Rookie of the Year Award as well as the Most Valuable Player award in the same season.

Of course, her offseason goal was to win the WNBA championship and that isn't gonna happen...Still the ROY and MVP awards are pretty good consolation prizes.

HOLY MOLEY! A WNBA BRAWL?

Is Detroit turning out to be Basketbrawl city?

Unless you lived under a rock in the last decade or so, chances are the "Brawl in the Palace" between the Pacers and the Pistons is among your most cherished sports brawl.

Well, you can add this one to the growing collection of Palace fisticuffs.

Super rookie Candace Parker of the Sparks gets taken down which starts a catfight on the court! It's so amazing because, for one brief second, ,you don't even realize it's girls fighting. Punches were swung, people got tackled, people flew back from shoves (more on that later) and the WNBA is finally the lead story in ESPN.
