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!

    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. :D

    Oh so we can finally see her face and not just her forehead, like in the other post a couple weeks ago. :D

    I see the baby looks more like her daddy. Poor kid. Hopefully time will reveal more of her mommy’s features!

    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!.
