In the NBA there is the Jojane dispute, and in the WNBA there is also the Maya-Moore and Candice Parker dispute. One is Jordan, known as the WNBA, a god-like being, and the other is known as the "Female Trapeze", known as the "Female Version of James". Although they are not the only ones competing for the best in the history of the WNBA, the dispute between Moore and Parker is almost equivalent to the battle between Jordan and James in the NBA. In the 2K21 rating, both of them also tied for 4th place with 93 points.
Moore, 31, is a legendary woman. She was born in Missouri on June 11, 1989. She moved with her mother to Atlanta at the age of 11 and attended high school in Georgia. It is reported that Moore began to contact basketball at the age of 4, and at the age of 14, she has emerged, when she can complete the difficult actions such as changing direction and back jumpers. At the age of 16, she was 1.83 meters tall and could already complete the dunk, and was known as the first female high school student in the United States.
Since then, victories and championships have always been with Moore, and she led her high school to create the myth of 90 unbeaten games. While studying at the University of Connecticut, she lost only three games, winning the John Wooden Award and the Naismith Award for two consecutive years. In the 2011 WNBA Draft, Moore was selected by the Minnesota Bobcats for the Picks.
After entering the NBA, Moore continued his journey to create miracles. In her first season, she led the Bobcats all the way to the 2011 WNBA championship. Since then, Moore has led teams to the WNBA Finals in 2012 and 2013, and won the championship in 2013, and was elected MVP of the Finals. In the 2014 season, Moore was named regular season MVP. Later, she led the Bobcats to championships in 2015 and 2017, making the Bobcats the WNBA's tie for the most championships to date with 4 titles.
In the WNBA, Moore was named an All-Star six times, an All-Star MVP three times, and a 7-time All-Star Team (5 first-team).
Moore's footprint is not limited to the WNBA, she has also gone abroad to meet challenges in Asian and European leagues, playing for the Spanish League, the Chinese WCBA and the Russian League, respectively, winning the Spanish League championship and two Champions League titles. In the WCBA, she led the Shanxi team to win the championship for three consecutive years and created a dynasty. In addition, she won 2 Olympic gold medals and 2 world championships with the U.S. women's basketball team.
In recent years, Moore has made even more astonishing moves. She chose to take two consecutive years off to just avenge a man named Jonathan Irons, for which she launched a social movement to push for judicial reform. In 1997, 16-year-old Irons was sentenced to 50 years in prison for shooting and injuring a homeowner in a burglary, and Moore believed that the prosecution had mishandled him, which led to Irons being wrongly convicted, so he ran for him.
Moore's move also brought the two hearts closer and closer. In September, she publicly claimed to have married Irons a few months earlier.
Parker was also born in Missouri on April 19, 1986. She comes from a basketball family, and former NBA player Anthony Parker is her brother. Later, Parker attended high school in Illinois and joined the University of Tennessee in 2004. In her three seasons, she played in 110 games, averaging 19.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 2.4 blocks per game, and led the team to 2 NCAA championships, including the Naismith Award (2 times) and the John Woodden Award.
In the 2008 WNBA Draft, Parker was selected by the Los Angeles Sparks as the winner and played until 2020, playing in 337 games, starting 333 games, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, 16.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 blocks. In 2016, Parker led the team to win the WNBA championship and was elected MVP of the Finals. In addition, she was named the regular season MVP twice, the All-Star five times, the All-Star MVP and the Rookie of the Year, and the All-Star Team nine times (6 times first team).
In addition, Parker played for the CBA, the Russian League and the Turkish League, winning the Russian League five times and winning the Champions League with the team in 2013. Parker is best known to domestic fans for her ex-husband sheldon Williams, a former NBA player. The duo married in 2008, gave birth to a daughter the following year, and divorced in 2016.
In the women's basketball field, Moore and Parker have a higher historical status, and may be as controversial as the Jocan dispute in the NBA. In contrast, perhaps Moore's historical status will be slightly higher. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
