Candace Parker broke the mold to become a two-time champion at Tennessee | Wooden Award Spotlight

Entering college, Candace Parker boasted a level of hype approaching LeBron James’ high school days. And then the world waited, as she was forced to redshirt with a lingering injury. After a Final Four run as a freshman, she led the Tennessee Lady Vols and late, legendary coach Pat Summitt to back-to-back championships as the best player in the nation, collecting two straight Wooden Awards and a bevy of other honors along the way. As Alexa Philippou details, she hasn’t slowed down on the wins since.
