    Congrats to her and her family. She was so sweet when I met her.

    My news reported the baby’s name being spelt Leila, not Laila. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. LOL

    I saw Candace dunk in my hometown. She is the type of person who accomplished so much at a very young age. I should have known she would have a baby shortly after she joined the WNBA. She will come back as strong as Lisa Leslie.

    I will never forget how rude she was with me that night I met her at the reliant arena before the comets were banned. I’m only 14 6’3 and as sh efirst dunked at my age, I can dunk too, so I really looked up to her. But after how rude she was with me that night I really didnt appreciate. My favorite player now is Candace Dupree. But Congrajulations for Laila. I’m really still proud of you all and lauren lockwood da future 2029 & 2032 # 1 WNBA or NBA Draft Picks. :)
