The two-time WNBA champion, two-time MVP, six-time All-Star, one-time rookie of the year and defensive player of the year and two-time Associated Press athlete of the year has excelled in her 15 seasons.
And she even came back to her home team, the Chicago Sky, as a free agent last year to score one of those championship victories.In December of last year, Parker celebrated another milestone — her two year wedding anniversary to her wife, Anya Petrakova.
