Candace Parker hilariously called out Shaq after he found out she won Defensive Player of the Year

Candace Parker has become one of the best basketball analysts out there. Her work on Inside the NBA makes that clear.

Don’t get it twisted, though — she’s still one of the best players in the sport, her work behind the desk aside. She’s a WNBA superstar and a certified bucket. She’s also the league’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

Apparently, Shaquille O’Neal didn’t know that about his co-host. Adam Lefkoe called her the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and Shaq sounded surprised by it.

He asked, “You were defensive player of the year?” to which Parker responded, “Take that surprise out your voice, Shaq.”

It was incredible.

She had to check him again. Dwyane Wade got a good laugh out of it.

What a moment. Shaq should get to know his teammate a bit better.
