Los Angeles Times: [1]

Parker scored 34 points, the most in a WNBA debut, and grabbed 12 rebounds to help the Sparks beat the defending champion Phoenix Mercury, 99-94, on Saturday.

I've had hundreds of google hits today from people looking for Candace Parker's salary.

It's reported to be about $44K for her first season. She'll easily be worth ten times that, or even 100 times that for the WNBA. She has also signed multi-year deals with Adidas and Gatorade estimated to be worth $3-4 million.

COMMENTARY: Sparks rookie Candace Parker is exactly what the WNBA needs [2]
