Candace Parker shuts down LeBron James stan after seemingly inaccurate claims: "Lost on a bad call many times"
During her historic WNBA career, Candace Parker enjoyed great success along with some tough defeats. While reflecting on some highs and lows from her own playing days, the former MVP clapped back at a fan account.
On Sunday, the New York Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals to secure the 2024 title. Following this matchup, Parker opened up on the feeling of being in the losing locker room listening to your opponent celebrate.
This post garnered a response from a LeBron James fan account, citing that the Lynx lost due to a bad call from the officials. When posing the question of poor officiating to her, Parker was quick to set the record straight.
"I do believe you must be new here me!? Lost on a bad call ummm YES MANY TIMES"
Across her 16 years in the WNBA, Candace Parker secured three championships. The first came in 2016 in her seventh season with the LA Sparks. Parker reached the mountaintop again in 2021 in her first year playing for her hometown team, the Chicago Sky. While she wasn't a focal point of the roster, the seven-time All-Star won her third ring with the Las Vegas Aces in 2023.
