"I was surprised," Parker says of the pregnancy. It was rumored that her Russian club, UMMC Ekaterinburg, was going to pay in excess of a million dollars for four months' work - an uncommon amount for even the best WNBA players.

She found out right before she was to venture overseas to play pro ball during the American off-season - a common practice for the best WNBA players. It was a shock to her, her sponsors and her WNBA team, the Los Angeles Sparks. In January, Parker revealed that she is pregnant with her first child. "But I can't do it all in one year," she says.Ĭertainly not this year. Parker's goal is to be not just the best but the most well-known, a touchstone on the cultural landscape. "I want to have major crossover appeal."Īh, yes, crossover, the marketing money shot, the ability to use God-given talent, in this case basketball, as a platform for international celebrity. "I wouldn't mind being the female MJ," she concedes. Parker won't be satisfied until she is a household name. She wants to be a champion, too, like Maria Sharapova, who earns upward of $25 million a year - the most of any female athlete - of which only a small fraction comes from playing tennis.
While that works for her, Parker wants more.
Patrick is nowhere near the best in her field, but she doesn't need to be, because she is hot enough to pose for Maxim. She will be a bigger Mia Hamm, a more accomplished Danica Patrick. Parker, her handlers attest so frequently that it has become a tic, will transcend her sport. Never mind that she plays in a league that is, shall we say, turnstile-challenged. They believe with all their collective heart that their 22-year-old, 6'4" stunner with the easy smile and perfect, white teeth will soon be the most recognized woman in American sports. It is this unprecedented combination of game, generosity and gorgeous that has Team Parker seeing miracles. Kind to animals and children, she is the sort of woman who worries about others more than about herself, a saint in high-tops.
She is a woman who plays like a man, one of the boys, if the boys had C cups and flawless skin. She is also the best at what she does, a record-setter, a rule-breaker, a redefiner. Breathtaking, really, with flawless skin, endless legs and a C cup she is proud of but never flaunts.
