Candace Parker put her hometown on her back as she carried them to the championship. The Chicago Sky won their first-ever WNBA title and Parker came up big. Her clutch performance and other contributions helped Chicago to their maiden trophy. After such a big night, a celebration is a must. Likewise, Parker took inspiration from Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Parker had many moments in Game 4 of the finals. She went on a 9 point streak of her own. Moreover, she also shot the game-tying three-pointer. She was a major reason that Chicago could pull off the comeback. Not only was she great with her offense, but she also did her job on the defensive end as well, ending with 4 steals and a block. It was a big performance in the series clincher, similar to the ‘Greek freak’s’ 50 point performance in the NBA finals.
