Candace Parker Sports Illustrated
Posted by vol.freak
April 15th, 2007
Last week, it was announced that Candace Parker will be on the cover of a commemorative issue of Sports Illustrated celebrating the Lady Vols 7th National Championship. The issue will be limited to 110,000 copies.
That sparked a great thread by XtennesseeX in our Tennessee Vols Forum about the number of Sports Illustrated Covers that have featured the Vols. I had forgotten about a few of them. Specifically, I didn’t remember the Pat Summitt issue “The Wizard of Knoxville”.
“The Tennessee Waltz” issue featuring Tony Robinson was one of my favorites.
Check them out. Can you think of any that are missing?
Discuss Candace Parker in our TENNESSEE LADY VOLS FORUM.

Congratuations on a exceptional career. Best wishes on your new career in the WNBA. I can’t understate the fact that you serve as a hero figure for many young women. As a retired Girl Scout leader let me encourage you to continue to show young women that there is nothing that can keep them from reaching their goals. All the best, Stephen

Where im form they call me “Min CP3″
she is the greatest and can’t wait until she plays wit Lisa Leslie on the LA Sparks
Good Luck
April 13th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Can’t wait to see you play in the WNBA. I’m sure your glad Sannon is on your team. Hpe you have fun with Lisa. You’ve turned me into a Sparks fan. If you keep it you will win the league MVP and take the Sparks to the finals. By the way dunk on Fowls. Show her who is boss around the WNBA. GOOD LUCK!
April 15th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Candace you are on the cover of SI’s commemorative issue with some of your former teamates. I just got the issue today, but I like it.I am your biggest fan. I follow the things you have done. I guess I could call you my role model. I also play the same position as you. I would like to meet you one day. Hopefully I can make it to the WNBA like you. I hope you are still playing around that time. I think you and the class of 08 will improve the crowd for the WNBA.
CP3 THE BEST!
