Sparks' Legend Reveals NCAA's Top-3 'Most Stable' Basketball Programs

On a recent episode of "Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston," Parker discussed the 'most stable' NCAA women's basketball programs — in both overall history and preparing players to play professionally in the WNBA.

"I think there are three staple programs throughout women's college basketball," Parker said. "You talk about Tennessee, you talk about the [South Carolina] Gamecocks and you talk about UConn.

"UConn, to me, is known for their guard play. I think Tennessee is known for their three-four position — and I think the Gamecocks are known for their posts," she added. "[All three] are all a huge reason why women's basketball in general is where it's at."

Following her legendary WNBA career with the Sparks and others — and after a retirement from professional basketball last year — Parker has expressed interest in bringing the WNBA to Tennessee, her former collegiate team and state.

An ownership group including Parker, Peyton Manning, Bill and Crissy Haslam, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw submitted a bid for a WNBA expansion team in Nashville on Jan. 30,  per a release by the Pat Summitt Leadership Group.

"Tennessee, Nashville needs a team — I'm going to speak it into existence," she said. "We're going to keep trying to get a team and I hope that the WNBA and the NBA sees the value of Nashville being a part of the WNBA."
