Candace Parker may have risked angering Caitlin Clark fans by hailing Chelsea Gray as the best point guard in women’s hoops.
The three-time WNBA champion competed in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled 3-on-3 basketball league and cracked the players up when she spoke about her former teammate and current Las Vegas Aces star.
Gray and Parker played together on the Los Angeles Sparks, where they secured the WNBA title in 2016. Given their history, the basketball legend knows Gray is one of the best floor generals in WNBA history.
While predicting the impact Gray would have on Rose Basketball Club, Parker called the Aces star the “best point guard in the world” more than once.
While the comment is unpopular with die-hard basketball fans, others reacted poorly on social media, claiming the title belongs to Clark.
‘Candace Parker probably robbed an entire fanbase before we tipped off’ one fan suggested along with three crying emojis.

Clark inspired the WNBA’s massive spike in viewership and attendance

Another Clark fan page called Parker a clown in the comments.
Meanwhile, others came to Parker’s defense and echoed her feelings about Gray.
“Lol damn, she can’t be biased towards her own pg without the CCLAN going crazy?” wrote one user.
“Yes, but if you’re right, you’re right,” another added.
Although Clark inspired the WNBA’s surge in popularity last season, she doesn’t have the same accolades as the veteran Gray.
After winning the title in Los Angeles, Gray won two more with Las Vegas in 2022 and 2023. She was also named Finals MVP for her first championship in Sin City.
After Clark’s monumental rookie season, she decided to leave the Unrivaled League behind to get some much-needed downtime from a busy 2024.
Clark went from leading Iowa to an NCAA Tournament Championship appearance to becoming the No. 1 draft pick and bringing millions of viewers to the WNBA. Her first season with the Fever ended when they were swept by the Connecticut Sun in the opening round of the playoffs.
