GIRLS TRIPP! Candace Parker OPENS UP About Championships, Motherhood & The Hall of Fame

Candace Parker—3x WNBA Champion, MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Hall of Famer—joins Allie Clifton and Jordan Robinson for Girls Tripp presented by Road Trippin'. Candace gets real about the 9-year journey to her first championship, the doubt that crept in year after year, what it meant to win in Chicago in front of her family, and the people who told her she couldn't be a mom and a superstar. Plus: untold Pat Summitt stories, the definite dozen, why she'd pick basketball IQ over clutch factor, and her take on the WNBA's new era of parity. THEN: Ryan Ruocco joins from Kansas City to break down why Caitlin Clark's "shooting slump" narrative is mathematically wrong, makes the case for Atlanta as legit title contenders, and goes deep on Dallas's roster construction. 🏀 Girls Tripp airs EVERY WEEK on the Road Trippin' channel. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Cheers with Candace Parker 🥂 06:28 — Candace on calling the WNBA for the first time 08:22 — Positionless basketball: “Why can’t I do that if I’m 6’4?” 12:47 — The hardest championship to win (and why it took 9 years) 16:10 — Winning in Chicago: “Do you know how epic this would be?” 16:50 — Finding Layla after the championship 33:20 — “They told me I couldn’t have both” 21:07 — Pat Summitt’s button-pushing genius 30:35 — The definite dozen: which one hits different now 25:40 — Pat Summitt fit check 🔥 36:25 — Fast Lane: rapid fire with Candace 41:32 — Girls Trippin’: MVP, main character energy, sixth man picks 📱 FOLLOW The Road Trippin' Show on socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/roadtrippin TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@roadtrippinshow X - https://x.com/roadtrippinshow 📺 FOLLOW Girls Tripp on socials: Allie - https://www.instagram.com/al.clifton/ Jordan - https://www.instagram.com/jordanligons/ 🎙️PRODUCED by Rain Delay Media - https://www.raindelaymedia.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
