Dwyane Wade gives Candace Parker the appreciation she deserves for being the best at her jobs

Candace Parker has been absolutely spectacular in her role on TNT’s Tuesday NBA broadcasts.

Her analysis is always spot on and right on time. It’s very clear that she’s put in hard work and practice to get that good at it.

She’s also still one of the best basketball players in the world. And when the WNBA started back up at IMG Academy in Florida, it was easy to assume that we’d miss her analysis because, of course, she’d be playing actual basketball games.

Nope. Instead, she’s Superwoman.

Parker has been playing in meaningful WNBA games by day and then video calling in to the NBA on TNT set by night to break down games on postgame broadcasts. Oh, and by the way, her daughter is with her in the Wubble. So she’s also on mom duty, too.

She deserves all of our praise. On Tuesday night, Dwyane Wade offered some up live on the broadcast.

“They talk about it on social. She do have a lot of jobs, but every job she has it seems like A1 in each job. And being a mother is probably most important of that. But we’re thankful that she’s our teammate and we get an opportunity to be in her presence. We’re just thankful for her. Candace, you are incredible.” 

Incredibly well said.
