Candace Parker is a legit WNBA star with endorsement deals and a name that rings outside of WNBA circles. Her ex-husband, Shelden Williams, was an NBA bust who basically rode the bench of several NBA teams for six years before the basketball gods realized that the NBA was no place for Shelden Williams.

So now, because life isn’t fair, Parker reportedly has to pay her ex-husband $400,000 in alimony despite the fact that the NBA grossly overpaid Williams some $12 million to wear a warmup uniform on game days and participate in the layup line before the game and during halftime.

According to TMZ Sports, Parker married Williams in 2008, the same year that she would be drafted No. 1 by the Los Angeles Sparks. No one in the black community understood this union. Parker was a sensation in high school, a legend at the University of Tennessee and poised to become a breakout star in the WNBA.

Williams was a decent player for a Duke team full of decent players, was taken fifth in the 2006 NBA draft, and spent two years before marrying Parker perfecting his hand-clapping and high-fiving to actual playing teammates. He was a support player at best. And how can I put this? Parker was then and still is beautiful, while Williams looked like an over-the-knee boot that fell off the back of a pickup on the highway.

But here’s the part that makes all of this even more annoying: Although Parker is one of the WNBA’s top players, she still had to play overseas during the offseason to reach her earning potential. As an NBA bust, Williams still earned millions to ride the team bus. And because life isn’t fair and Donald Trump is president, Parker must pay Williams close to half a million in lieu of having to pay him ongoing spousal support.

TMZ Sports also notes that the couple will split the profits from their former home in Encino, Calif., which they just sold for $3.75 million, and share joint custody of their 8-year-old daughter. Neith Parker nor Williams will have to pay child support.

it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes

and he went to Duke so there's no excuse for being stupid financially (though I know that hasn't stopped people from doing so).

He should have walked away and decided that they could split the parental cost/responsibilities and kept it moving.

So...two thoughts here:

1) She must have REALLY said/did something to cut him to his soul (one too many forehead jokes?) OR he's really a scumbag to go after her dough when he made more money in 6yrs than most people make in a lifetime.

2) All that said, after taxes, agents and life (also living in LA) dude could have ran through most of that NBA money thinking he'd get a second contract at some point. It's obvious that she has the more promising career/earning potential and they ARE in Cali so spousal support is fair game. Gender warz aside, thems the breaks. Sucks though.

You’d think a UNC fan could drop the act for a second and focus on the bigger picture. SHE CHEATED (yeah, nobody wanna go there) and Shel Dogg threw up them dueces and got a fair amount for his wasted time when he was overseas doing his part, away from baby girl and Mom was out CHEATING.

Now, y’all wanted some BSO shit, you got it.

or are you just making up a scurrilous lie about this woman to make a plea cop for another Duke bust...

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

hittin nothin that tight again in his life..

So i'm smokin on this cactus, bangin Fat Patrick
hustla til i die baby grindin like a savage
pimp game sweet, breakin ankles and feet
cuz these hoes break they toes til they job complete

H-Town made L.A. paid

....


on an actual sports-related note,

i just googled this-

the average salary of a WNBA player is $72,000; the maximum is just under $110,000 and the rookie minimum is about $38,000. So many go overseas in the WNBA offseason, making $100,000 and up. A big-name player, such as Diana Taurasi or Candace Parker, will make in the high six figures overseas. Aug 9, 2014

team salary cap in 2012 was 878k.



kinda crazy... including how womens' college ball kills the WNBA in tv ratings

could you provide some sort of legit story saying Candace Parker cheated with a woman, and thus big head filed for divorce...

either do that or admit that you made up this accusation to cop a plea for another Duke busting buster...

Plenty of pics of her and female fiends tho. You figure it out.
