Candace Parker—3x WNBA Champion, MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Hall of Famer—joins Allie Clifton and Jordan Robinson for Girls Tripp presented by Road Trippin'.
Candace gets real about the 9-year journey to her first championship, the doubt that crept in year after year, what it meant to win in Chicago in front of her family, and the people who told her she couldn't be a mom and a superstar. Plus: untold Pat Summitt stories, the definite dozen, why she'd pick basketball IQ over clutch factor, and her take on the WNBA's new era of parity.
THEN: Ryan Ruocco joins from Kansas City to break down why Caitlin Clark's "shooting slump" narrative is mathematically wrong, makes the case for Atlanta as legit title contenders, and goes deep on Dallas's roster construction.
🏀 Girls Tripp airs EVERY WEEK on the Road Trippin' channel.
