Candace Parker is Hot

candace parker

That seems to be the consensus around the country – Candace Parker is hot. Not only did she make People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People list, we were told earlier this week that she is now engaged to be married – to Sheldon Williams no less. Sheldon is a guy that many put in that “alien look-a-like” category right along side Sam Cassell.

So what gives? Sheldon Williams? Candace Parker getting hitched is the ultimate “retiring while on top” scenario, kind of like Michael Jordan (the first time) or Barry Sanders, but much much worse.

Right now Parker has it all. She’s hot, she can dunk, she will be playing pro basketball after graduation and with all of the attention she gets from her looks, I would say she could get into modeling or even television.

There is one other scenario that we could be overlooking. Maybe this is just a quick overreaction after coming off the rebound of another relationship. Anyone know what happened with Stanley Asumnu? One minute those two are a big item around campus and next thing we know she’s engaged to someone else? Sounds like desperation right? Anything is possible.

Come to think of it, maybe she has a thing for weird looking basketball players. I always have been a big Stanley Asumnu supporter and I’ve even met and talked to him in person. Stanley is a great guy, but let’s face it, he is not exactly Denzel. Maybe there is a pattern to this madness after all.

Another thing that comes to my mind about this engagement is recruiting. I have heard of male athletes wanting to come on campus just to meet Candace. They want to come to Tennessee to have their shot to impress the “basketball goddess“. Could this adversely affect our recruiting in both football and basketball? I don’t think so either but it’s not going to help us any.

It’s not just high school athletes that are upset by this. It seems half the population is crushed from hearing this news. There are articles and blogs about this all over the internet. Has there ever been a women’s basketball player that received this much attention for not only her play on the court but also her looks? I realize that Candace is a pretty hot topic (pun intended) around Knoxville, but I have to admit that I am in awe at the amount of interest that she generates around the country. Just looking at the statistics for VolNation, the number of internet searches that include Candace’s name is mind boggling.

All is not lost. Candace Parker is only 21 years old and the wedding is not supposed to take place until after she graduates from the University of Tennessee. That’s a long time and a lot of things can happen between now and then so don’t give up hope, don’t lose the faith. There is still time for her to come to her senses.

  46. Hi Candace,
    My name is Solomon and I’m from Aurora, IL. You one of the biggest things to come out of this area, and I’ve always been amazed watching you play. I missed seing you in high school but, I see you on TV, magazines, and the internet all the time. I was in Dayton, Ohio over spring break and saw you play. You are one of the most talented collegent athletes ever, not to mention one of the finest sistas on the planet. I am a big fan of yours, not obsessed, but a big fan. I actually met you once at DuPage AME Church. I was a greeter at the door, and was really nervous when I saw you walk in. We talked for about a minute. I wanted to ask for your autograph, but it wasn’t the place. I hope you enjoyed yourself. You are a very nice person from what I could tell. I would love to talk to you again, so if you could email me back, I would really, really appreciate it.

    One Luv,
    Solomon

  52. Hey Candice, my name is Ashton and I know you are probably reading all this stuff about different people saying they are your #1 fan so I’m not gonna say that, but I just wanted to say that I am a big fan. Someday I WILL be in your spot. Alot of people say that, but I mean it. I am going to work as hard as I possibly can to become as talented as you are. I also want to become one of the only girls that can dunk. I am very short and I am pretty sure genes will make me short, but I am going to try my hardest and I just wanted to let you know that you are one of my main inspirations to play basketball. I’d love for you to e-mail me back. If you are too busy I understand. I can’t wait to see you play Arkansas in January and Bama in February (I have tickets for both and I am so excited!). Anyway, I hope that you keep getting better and better! God Bless You.

    This year I’ll be 70 and I had never seen a live college basketball game, but was fortunate enough to be in Nashville at the SEC tournaments. I enjoyed the Lady Vols so much. It’s a team effort, but I loved watching you play. I wanted your autograph so much, but wasn’t sure how to go about it, but I did get some great pictures. GO LADY VOLS!! Good luck in the NCAA Tournaments!

    Thanks,

I would love to have the chance to hopefully one day meet you and get a chance to play at Tennesse for Coach Pat Summit( by the way Tennesse is off the charts and by far the hottest team in America) yall are my favorite team to watch. Everything you do is fascinating I mean you can dunk, drive, and pull-up your the most dominating factor in women’s college basketball today and forever. Well, I hope your WNBA career is awesome and wishing you and Sheldon the best.

  107. hey Candace,
    I want to be you when I grow up i want to play at the University of Tennessee. I am from Nashville, Tennessee and i’m n 6th grade and 12 years old im 5 foot 8 and a half inches tall. I knew you would come back when you dislocated your shoulder. I knew you would come back because not only do I think you’re the prettiest person in the world, your the best basketball player in the world, I think that you are the best rolemodel for me and very other person. You’re also really smart and I want to be exactlly like you when I grow up. I don’t care whet anybody says about you and Sheldon Williams I think if you love smeone you shouldn’t either. I practice every day. I want to be able to dunk just like you. You insire me and many others more than could ever know. Please email me back it would mean every thing to me ( the whole world )
    I’ve never seen anyone like you before. It shows alot when you come out with a dislocated shoulder and come back and play as hard as you an and still get 26 points. I thought it was really smart of you to decide to draw fouls because you weren’t making very many shots. I know that you don’t have very much time yto read this but please read this even though it is really long. Please email ne back!!

  108. Dear Candace,
    I believe in you and your team that you all will win the national championship again. I agree that people don’t give the rest of the team enough credit because they did keep the lead while you were in the locker room getting rehab.

  109. Dear Candace,
    I want you to know that I watch every single one of your games. I came as a ball girl to the SEC Tournament I learn alot from watching you play. I’m glad you decided to come to Tennessee because I think you have succeded far beyond my wildest dreams with your taem and Pat Summitt. It takes alot of mental toughness to play while you’re in pain. I know you idolize Robin Roberts and Oprah Winfrey but your my idol. I knew you would always play in your last final four. I believe in you and in your team. I think Pat Summitt is the best coach and I think she has helped to bring out a little more in you and the other players on the team. If someone tells you that you can’t do something practice that spacific thing and master it and show them you can. Please email me back even though you are so very busy with the games and all.

  110. Dear Candace,

    this is mei again. Well ii just want to wish u luck saturday. ii beted $40 that yall will win aganist LSU. Please win. I been a fan of your since i dont know when. You are mii role model. Everybodi sayin she aint GOOD they must be blind then. Congrats on gettin married. You are the best gurl in college. Everbodi sayin Maya Moore is betta than u NOTTTTTT. gotta go love ya gurl. Much love and support of your game.

  111. Heyy gurl. I want to be just like u. I made it on the AAU team. I am a point guard I score round 12 points a game maybe more if my mind is into it. I was wondering can you give mei some pointers.

  112. Dear Candace,
    I live in Nashville, Tennessee i’m twelve years old and i’m in sixth grade i’m five foot eight and a half inches tall. I want to be just like you when I grow up I want to play college basketball at the University of Tennessee and play for Pat Summitt. I want to be able to dunk when i’m fifteen just like you, I want to be six foot four inches also. I ant to be able to get past any defender make shots that are thought to never go in. I want to be as pretty as you and I want to pla in the WNBA just like you and if possible be a number one draft pick.I want to be as strong and skiny as you and have the mental toughness and physial toughness. I want to win the wooden award and all the other awards you recieved. I want have a close relationship with my siblings just like you. I knew you would coe back after you dislocated your shoulder not only are you the prettiest person in the world you are the best basketball player in the world you ar the best rolemodel for me my whole bedroom is a Candace Parker bedroom you are also very smart and I want to be like that to. You inspire me more than ou would ever know. You may not have won the Player of the Year but you are the best cadidate for the honor and no one can take that from you. It really shows alot to me and many others when you kave an injury like that and you still come back and play to your best ability in that position. I think it was a very smart decision to decide to draw fouls instea of going for the basket. I believe that you are the best player but I do believe that people don’t give your teammates enough credit they did keep the lead while you were in the locker room. I believe that you and your team will win the NCAA Chapionshop again. I watch every one of your games. I came as a ball girl to the SEC Tournament. I learn alot from watching you and your team play. I’m glad you decided to come to Tennessee because I think you have succeeded far beyond my wildest dreams with your team and Pat Summitt I know you idolize Robin Roberts and Oprah Winfrey but I idolize you. I knew you would play in your last final four I think that Pat Summitt is the best coach and I think that she has brought a little more out of you and the rest of the players. If someone tells you that you can’t do something practice tat spacifis thing and show them that they are wrong I practice every day either at the park, gym, at school, or at my house. Please email me back it woul mean every thing to me so please email me back.

  113. Dear Candace,
    I’m sorry that you hurt your shoulder i knew it would get better though because you’re the toughest person I know well I don’t really know as a friend but I know who you are. as i’ve said before I want to be like you when I gro p I want to major and minor in the same things, go to the same college, wear the same clothes, play for Pat Summitt, etc. I think you are the best basketball player ever I think it is great that you always keep your facial expretions to a minamum even when you do disagree with the call and when Pat Summitt is giving you the stare or ne of the other coaches is getting on to you for something. I think you’re very smart and you can talk very well I have seen aloy of your interviews. I love the way you hold yourself and the way that you handle the spotlight I think that is amazing. Please email me back it would mean alot.

  114. Dear Candace,
    I’m only for Tennessee I believe that you and your team will win the NCAA Tournament two years in a row which doesn’t happen very often. But if worst comes to worst and LSU defeats you and your team lose then I will go for Stanford not LSU because I know you are big rivals but they are an SEC team.

  115. Candace i just wanted to tell you that your my idol. hopefully in 2 years i will be playing college basketball

  116. OMG!!! Candice is sooo hot! I would like to play some one on one with her ๐Ÿ˜‰

I had to make an extremely hard desicion this past year… I play volleyball, basketball, softball, I cheer, and I am a dancer… I had to make the decision to pick one sport to play (that way I could focus on my grades a little better) I was very leany about playihg basketall because it seemed as If I was the only one on the team that had the heart and the passion for the game. You are my idol and always will be. Thanx for inspiring me to go for my dream!!!

    Not to forget I am 15 years old, 10th grade, and I am only 5’2 ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ :)I have been playing Varsity Basketball every since the 7th grade.

    IM FROM TEXAS REPERSENTING THAT BUT I AN LSU FAN BUT CANDACE PARKER FUTURE WIFE.

  125. The biggest Fan is Candance Parker I will be there celerating for u at the draft
    YOU THE HOTTEST THING ALIVE RIGHT KNOW

  126. In all my years I never gave a rat’s buttocks about basketball, let alone college basketball, let let alone women’s college basketball. Then I saw Candace Parker not more than 5 days ago and have been following Tennessee’s exploits ever since. She is just too friggin’ cute. Absolutely adorable.

    And I agree about the engaged thing. I’m 54, married 24 years, absolutely no chance of getting with her or wanting to, but it is a kick in the groin hearing that she’s taking herself off the market nonetheless.

  127. hey candace
    i know u have a millions of fans and u probably wont read this, but i think u r good but i will b better than you… lol i wish atleast…

    i would love to meet you
    i hope i get the chance to

I got an autograph from Pat Summit but i really wanted yours.That would have made my day. I will watch every LA Sparks game that comes on. So good luck going pro and good luck once agian on the engagement.P.S.

  145. Dear Candace,
    I watched you got chosen for the WNBA Draft when you were chosen by the Los Angeles Sparks. I think you are by far the best player to ever play the game of basketball.
    Please email me back.

  146. Man wtf? Sheldon Williams??? Are u serious??? Wow dats like da ugliest dude around but i guess looks dnt phase her but still Sheldon Williams man hell naw ima shoot his ass.

  147. hey Candace, watchin you play has been one of the most exciting times in my life. i can definately say that i am ur number one fan. not only do i have pics, posters, shirts, da whole 9. i really look up to u and u make me want to be the greatest basketball player. i’ve been wanting to go to Tennessee since i could talk.me and my dad would watch all of their games and since you’ve been there u just really boosted Tennessee’s reputation like a hundred more times than it was before. sorry for the long message, but you are really my idol. thanks and i love you.

  148. I lovvvvvve you so much candace i want to meet u oneday….. I just what 2 wish u goodluck in the pros…please email me back thanks -Madison-
    ps-I love basketball….8-)

  149. Hey now y’all…I met Candace on a flight from Portland last week and she was with her fiance. They are a really nice looking couple, and c’mon, they guy is definitely not in the Sam Cassell category of looks (although I’m sure Mr. Cassell is a nice guy too). The action photos don’t do his looks justice; in person I can see why he would be considered a handsome man. (and that’s the final word from a straight guy who not jealous! OK?)

    They come across as real folks, not hollywood, humble superstars that really appeal to real people. As a Stanford grad, I was rooting for my girls, but after watching the LSU game along with the final, I, my wife, and my daughters have become lifetime Candace Parker (and yes, also Tennesee) fans. Congratulations to Candace and the lady Vols. And, thanks for putting up with my teasing at the airport…You’re a class act and we wish you the very best in the WNBA as well as with your future together with Sheldon Williams. You go girl!

I am a freshman in highschool and I love basketball through thick and thin, and sometimes when I feel like giving up I just think of you and everything you had to go through and I keep with it. I know I am not the best basketball player in the world (YOU ARE!!) but someday I hope that I will be able to make it into college basketball (maybe even WNBA!!!) Well, I just want to say thank you for sticking with it all these years and if it wasn’t for you I would not be playing now. Maybe one day I will be able to meet you in person! P.S.

  233. Hi Candace,
    I have an 11 year old daughter who absolutely loves to watch you play and so do I! We live in Shelbyville,TN and have admired your play since you arrived at UT. We were just wondering what is it like to receive the amount of love and admiration that you generate in the lives of so many people at such a young age? You are truly blessed, gifted, and special. Never forget that? I know that it has to be a tremendous amount of pressure to live up to the expectations of so many young girls throughout the country and the world for that matter. I believe that your humble spirit will enable you to continue this marvelous path that you’ve been chosen to walk.

    Eric Hart

  236. Hello Candace, I am an Old-head,43,and was never really interested in “LadyBall”. Was I wrong!One day there wasn’t much on tv and I watched the first quarter with you and team at Tennessee. That game CHANGED the way I see LadyBallers. You are an INCREDIBLE talent and a joy to watch. I actually watch the WNBA now because of you. I am a big Sixer,Laker fan and it’s great that you are a part of the LA organization.I played high school ball but I was soooo far down on the bench that one foot was on the court and the other foot in the showers!lol.Awesome talent,take GREAT care of yourself and have a WONDERFUL career!

  237. Candace, that last championship game you played at Tennessee was the FIRST full game of women’s basketbal I have EVER watched! Thanks for such an exciting and memorable game! Alot of suspense,drama,and nice strategy by the coaches. Of course you GAMED Baby! Sore shoulder and I remember you taking over the last 5 minutes for a win! What a Gal! I set my rim on my home basetball court at 8 feet so I can dunk over my kids. Everytime I dunk I used to say…The Doctor!(Dr.J). I guess now I can say(Candace)Ba-Boom! Take care!And KEEP THROWIN DOWN!
