Ten years after having her daughter Lailaa, Parker says that her child is her driving force. The forward-center didn’t slow down her career and is working towards winning her second championship with the Sparks.
“I like to say my daughter chose me. I feel like I’m lucky from that aspect that she’s in such an important part of my career… I didn’t realize becoming a mother would make me a better teammate, a better friend, a better basketball player, a better daughter,” Parker told The Undefeated in May 2018.
