Rookie Of The Year Candace Parker To Win MVP Also

We all knew she was ballin', but damn! After being the unanimous choice for WNBA Rookie of the Year earlier today, reports came out of the L.A. Times that she has won the league's MVP award also. That's crazy! This hasn't happened in professional basketball since Wes Unseld in 1969! And that's another MVP for the city of L.A. as Kobe also won his first earlier.

In her first season, Parker averaged 18.5 points per game, shot 52.3% from the field, 2.3 blocks, and led the league in rebounds with 9.5 a game. In addition to becoming the first WNBA player to win ROY and MVP in the same season, she was also the first to dunk in back to back games. Oh, and did I mention she was also involved in a fight?? lol. Lets just hope she doesn't go all Chamique Holdsclaw on us lol.

On another note, you know what is truly sad?? That I barely found this story as it was the 10th and last story listed on ESPN's homepage. That's under a story about Amare Stoudemire being poked in the eye and directly under a story about former NFL RB Lawrence Phillips getting 10 years in prison. Seriously, Lawrence Phillips?? Who the fuck cares about Lawrence Phillips?? When is the last time that nigga even played a game in the league?? And that story was more important than Candace Parker making history?! Sad.
