Like I have been saying for 4 years now, if she was a foot shorter, I'd rip her apart. Goddamn.

She completely dominated anyone she was matched up against. Simply amazing.

Her low post moves looked identical to those of Pau Gasol.

She will be something great.

I didn't know until now that she was Anthony Parker's sister.

I don't, and will never, watch the WNBA, but her numbers were ridiculous. Seems like she has a chance to be the Jordan of women's basketball. For whatever that's worth...

What if her first WNBA season she wins MVP and the LA team wins the championship...

What if she wants to sign with the LA Lakers for the minimum?

Do you think LA would give her a try? It would be huge PR for them. I don't think she's good enough to be in the playoff rotation or anything, but you can tell she could play in the NBA. Perhaps nothing more than the 11th or 12th man off the bench in blowouts, but LA should have a lot of those next year with Bynum back.

Sick debut. Most points ever by a rookie in her first game, and almost first rookie ever to record a triple double.

Parker and Leslie is a great duo.

NOt only that, but it wouldve been only the second debutee to get a triple double in professional sports EVER. That includes NBA, and all the other pro leagues.

Only one to do it was Mr Trip Dub himself, Oscar Robertson.

Yup. Sparks got themselves a hell of a player. I expect her to become the GOAT barring any serious injuries.

Im surprised others were watching I figured I was the only one watching. She looked fantastic. I say we trade her for Luke. Yeah, she'd get killed on D, but so does Luke.

wow...i just watched the highlight of that game. Homechick was shooting threes, making passes, and taking care of buisness down low. I'm very impressed. 34/12/8 on debut. Not bad at all... And Good to see Lisa Les back too.

I think Ms. CP3 is just what the doctor ordered for the WNBA.

I dunno mayne... substitute variables C and P with random numbers x and y, [(-inf<x<inf) && (-inf<y<inf)]. raise base 10 to the exponent ((x)(y)3), and the result is your number.

I used to think WNBA was boring, but when she played, the whole game looked different to me. I dont know if it was the way she looked, or the way she played.
