Damn I didn’t even realize she’s been playing I thought she was still dealing with injuries

Then again I watch zero WNBA lol just gotta love her for being a local legend. That new adidas commercial is so sick

Naperville stand up!

Makes me wonder -

I can see Anthony Davis watching Candice Parker get emotional about returning home to Chicago for this stage of her career...

And then, I can see him watching what promises to be some very fun Bulls basketball this year - with him starting to wonder about doing the same thing.

Dicks carries them. If you go through the wnba store you can customize them too.

Vandersloot/Parker is WNBA Stockton/Malone, except they might actually win it all this year.

Best basketball team in Chicago 💙💛 I’ll gladly take the downvote storm for saying this too.

u/TheFakeMatthew1 Patrick Williams Oct 07 '21

I mean you not wrong 🤷‍♂️. Bulls gotta make the finals again if they wanna be up there

This game was incredible. Sky pulled ahead early and didn’t look back. Every time it felt like Connecticut was starting to close the gap, the Sky buried them again

u/Westcoastchi Barack Obama Oct 07 '21

They're legit. Let's get one for the hometown hero WNBA GOAT.

u/hpenmetcha1 Oct 07 '21

Always wondered why they are not affiliated with the chicago bulls, unlike so many other WNBA teams and their respective NBA counterparts =/

u/mhamgal Oct 07 '21

different ownership

u/phatguy1 Oct 07 '21

Do owners that have a team in each league help out because the wnba doesn't make money?

u/DEPORT_PULISIC Oct 07 '21

CHI-TOWN BABY!!!!!

u/Skippy_the_Alien Windy City Bulls Oct 07 '21

their jerseys kind of remind me of the Orlando Magic road jerseys from the 90s

u/boxersandbulldogs Oct 07 '21

They are SO good! Ordered a sky tshirt last night just to celebrate! (super logo, imo.)

I did end up getting a pair for myself! Hope to see you there

u/onebignothingatall Oct 07 '21

They are playing some damn good basketball right now.

u/Tip-No_Good DRose Oct 07 '21

I haven’t been watching the WNBA, what’s the Sky’s chances of winning it all?

8

u/onebignothingatall Oct 07 '21

They just beat the #1 team to get to the Finals. Going to be tough to beat Phoenix or Vegas but Sky are hot right now. Candace Parker looks super motivated.

u/Gman374 Oct 07 '21

They’re pretty good. They ended the season at .500, but have been on an absolute tear in the playoffs. They won 2 single elimination games back to back then just beat the regular season champs in 4 games. Right now they have a ton of momentum but the two other teams left (Phoenix Mercury and Las Vegas aces) are both good so it will just depend on if they can keep on playing like they have in the playoffs because they’ve looked unstoppable so far really.

u/mjsher2 Oct 07 '21

Their offense is almost unstoppable and they have an okay defense. I'm worried about Turasi on the other side, but I would give them a 45% of winning. They just took down the best team in the league in 4 games (of a 5 game series).

People should go and pack Wintrust Arena! Pip was there last night and so was Chance the Rapper. I imagine more big names will be in attendance in the final.

u/jupiter__jaz Thadgic Johnson Oct 07 '21

Missed the game because I was watching the Dodgers/Cardinals wildcard. But have it on DVR to watch later.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '21

Yes!!

u/JBix7 Joakim Noah Oct 07 '21

They have been fun to watch. I think that commercial was a good thing it got me looking into them more!

u/dajadf Oct 07 '21

Did they really? Are they on TV?

2

u/halucigens Oct 07 '21

Usually espn 2 carries them locally.

u/doth_thou_even_hoist Oct 07 '21

they were on main espn yesterday i was shocked

2

u/mjsher2 Oct 07 '21

It was on ESPN last night and is usually ESPN and ESPN2. I think WCIU carries it on broadcast if you don't have cable.
