Recently, news broke on major platforms: Chicago Sky star Candace Parker announced on her personal IG that she joined the Las Vegas aces. Generally speaking, star transfers are a very normal scenario, not to mention that this is a WNBA star transfer, so it will not cause much sensation. But as soon as the news came out, it caused a huge sensation at home and abroad.
The reason for the commotion abroad is simple. As a legendary superstar of women's basketball, Parker is already an MVP-level player. In the year of her debut, she single-handedly defeated five male players to win the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest for American high school students. She has also won two NCAA championships and MOPs. After entering the NBA, she also won championships, MVP, FMVP and Olympic gold medals. Grand slam.
How can such a top basketball superstar not let fans go crazy to join last year's championship team? The main reason why we have caused heated discussions here is that the editor who posted this news is a little cautious. When referring to Parker joining the aces, he also said, "Looks like I've seen this episode. ”
This is food for thought. Did you see it? Where did you see it? If old fans think about it, they will understand that this is alluding to Kevin Durant. But Brother B feels that Durant and Parker are not very similar in terms of transfers. The first is age. Durant was at his peak when he transferred, and Parker is now 37 years old.
As for the record, in last year's playoffs, Parker's Sky team was eliminated 2-3 by the Suns in the Finals, while the Aces defeated the Suns. In other words, Parker joined a championship team, and the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers that year and failed to win the championship.
Now thinking back to Durant's joining the Warriors, many fans still have the idea of ridicule. But now it seems that these two championships not only helped Durant achieve his dreams, but also brought honor and huge revenue to the Warriors. If those two years of championship didn't bring benefits, I'm afraid the Warriors owner wouldn't have been so willing to sign Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Poole and other players later, right?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the original Warriors will not be able to survive this point, let alone win last year's championship.
