It was about six years ago when the WNBA saw its first dunk. In a game against the Miami Sol, the Sparks' Lisa Leslie received a pass from her team mate Latasha Byears on a fast break, took it to the hole and threw it down. The crowd and the team went crazy.Well, over the weekend rookie extraordinaire Candace Sparks matched that historic moment. In a game against the Indiana Fever, after a missed shot and long rebound, Parker ran the court, found herself alone and dunked the ball, making it her first dunk in a WNBA game and only the second dunk in WNBA history.
"Just trying not to miss," Parker told the LA Times of her approach on the dunk. "It's exciting to do it in front of Los Angeles, at home and on the same basket that Lisa did it on."

Nice job, women just won't lt be or let the men be tops they try everything a man can do. In hate that liberation mess men do not act as they should because of that. I still want my door opened and my sit pulled out and open my car door. and even light my cigarette if I smoked. Men have gotten away from this and I hate it.
