During warmups of this year's WNBA All-Star Game, players from both sides — Team Collier and Team Clark — wore "Pay Us What You Owe Us" t-shirts, serving as a representation of ongoing Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations. Following the star-studded event, former Sparks' legend Candace Parker was brutally honest in speaking out against the players' decision on a recent episode of Post Moves with Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston.

Furthermore, Parker was also recently vocal in comparing Chicago Sky star forward Angel Reese to others around the league on a recent episode of the Post Moves Podcast.
