WNBA star Candace Parker now has a basketball court named after her! On July 30th, the basketball court at Spring-Field Park in Naperville, Illinois was renamed “Candace Parker Basketball Court” in a dedication ceremony that featured Candace, her two-month-old baby daughter Lailaa, and her husband, NBA star Shelden Williams.
Candace, who is a native of Naperville, was honored by the city of Naperville not only with a basketball court named after her , but also with gifts for little Lailaa!

When God blesses me with children, I HAVE TO make it a point to WORKOUT before, during AND after pregnancy. Geeez, FORGET milk, working out does a body GOOOOOOD!
AWWWWWWWWWWW she is so cute
awwwwwwwwwwww she is so cute
I really like Candace’s outfit,but why do some ppl put shoes such young babies? Those thong sandals cannot be comfortable for a two month old.
I’m surprised the baby still has them on. I would have tugged, pushed and wriggled them off a long time ago.
she looks like the daddy
she do not look like her daddy she look like her mother but she look cute and she got some curly hair on her head.i hope you have good luck candace parker with your cute baby.
Oh so we can finally see her face and not just her forehead, like in the other post a couple weeks ago.
I see the baby looks more like her daddy. Poor kid. Hopefully time will reveal more of her mommy’s features!
I wonder how tall she’ll be. Cute pics.
She’s a cutie. Can’t wait to see Candance when she comes to the ATL.
I would love to get my hands on that pretty little bundle and kiss those little chubby cheeks. She is precious. Awwwww!
Love Candace! Glad to see she is showing her beautiful baby!! Also happy to see hubby is very supportive of her career as well.
The baby has Candace’s complexion and Sheldon’s looks.
Aww she’s adorable and chubby!!! =)
She is a cutie,bet she’ll be way tall
awwww thats gonna be one tall baby
Awwwwwwwwww everyone looks great. The baby is so cute. Lovely post BCK.
How do you pronounce the name? Lay-la or Lye-la or La-lee-la? or something else anyone know?
She is absolutely gorgeous!!
TOO CUTE MOM AND BABY LOOK PRETTY.
Gorgeous baby. I can’t believe how quick the mom got back in shape….I need to start playing basketball!
awww Candace is gorgeous and lil Lailaa is sooo adorable! luv her!
beautifull family…the baby is too cute….and I don´t know why some are writing that they are sorry the girl looks her daddy….yes her mommy is mighty fine…but so is her husband to me….beautifull family
WTF. That is a beautiful, healthy baby!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!! CONGRATS SHELDEN AND CANDACE!!!!! GOOD JOB ON PICKING THE NAME!!!!!!!!
I don´t know what people´s problems are with Sheldon´s looks….as someone mentioned earlier….he ain´t model material….BUT….he is still fine and nice looking….and if he was ugly…who cares….he seems to be a good caring father and husband….no matter who the baby comes after….she is beautiful in her own way…
I appreciate everyone’s commments,thank you so much!!!! I hope other people can either relate or sympathize with my story and as a result that may stop them from making derogatory comments in the future.
One incident that has stuck with me for the longest was when my mother reconnected with a former friend of hers from high school (ex-boyfriend actually)and they were just sharing stories of how their lives were after high school.
My mother mentioned she had a daughter and he responded by saying : ” Oh wow, she must be GORGEOUS, any daughter of yours must be simply beautiful”
My mother answered: “YEs, she is, with a bright smile.
My mother then called me into the room to meet her old-friend….he had this big grin on his face anticipating my arrival, once i walked in his grin dissipated into this disappointed look. As if he were saying: “Oh, THAT’s your daughter”??
I introduced myself and sat down and i could see his eyes gazing at me in wonderement trying to piece any resemblance to my mother he could find. Finding none, he finally uttered: “WOW, you must look an awful lot like your dad…how, um, cute” !!
I gave him a fake smile and nodded, knowing full well what he meant by that comment as i had heard it so much in my short 8 years of life.
———-At the end of the day, words are swords and they can destroy, so i urge all of you to use them wisely. If i did not have a strong sense of self, i think those commentss would have effected me alot more and cause great pain!.
