Candace Parker

Only under the bright lights of the WNBA Finals do stars become heroes and heroes become legends. After returning home to suit up for the Chicago Sky last offseason, 14-year-veteran Candace Parker finds herself in the exact right place at the exact right time. Down three after helping her squad chip away at a nine-point, fourth-quarter deficit, Parker sets up in position out at the perimeter, catches a pass from teammate Courtney Vandersloot then buries a triple to even the score with less than two minutes remaining in Game 4 of the championship series. Parker finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds, five dimes and four steals as her squad went on to clinch the first title in franchise history in front of a raucous home crowd.
