Candace Parker Rips Aliyah Boston’s Teammates for ‘Awful’ All-Star Game Effort

WNBA icon Candace Parker and Indiana Fever rising star Aliyah Boston premiered their eagerly awaited podcast, “Post Moves,” on YouTube. During the launch, Parker, a two-time MVP and three-time champion, promptly critiqued today's players.A significant topic addressed was the recent All-Star Weekend protest by players wearing shirts stating, “Pay Us What You Owe Us,” highlighting issues in current CBA negotiations. Frustration remains as players, receiving a mere 9% revenue share compared to the NBA’s 50%, demand a more equitable distribution amid the league's growth.Parker challenged the players' performance, calling their effort in the All-Star game “awful,” arguing that more passion could have bolstered their message. Although Boston defended her teammates, emphasizing the strenuous schedule, Parker acknowledged the additional games added without pay, expressing the importance of seizing high-profile moments. This dialogue exposes a rift between seasoned icons and current athletes as the WNBPA navigates complex negotiations, igniting a vital conversation about collective strategies in pursuit of equitable compensation. Meanwhile, Boston continues to shine on the court, recently scoring 22 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in a victory over the Phoenix Mercury. Image Credits: (Wikipedia Commons)
