First BLACK. Female. We can’t let people forget about race. 😂
Love me some Candace and Shaq going at each other; love how literally her dream came through been on the cover of the 2K👍❤️. Pura Vida
It’s like they do everything they can to get people to tune out
For real
They need to accept no one cares about wnba stop pushing an agenda meanwhile the golden goose the nba viewing figures are going down substantially .
@Sally Davies bcevertyhing is pc nowdays
I'm tired of people always over using words for every little thing that they don't like smh
@@sierrasymone7590 You mean like "bigot", "racist", "xenophobe", "trumper", "homophobe"?
If the dev was serious about promoting and empowering women in bball, they would release a WNBA with Candace on the cover. Nothing against Candace, and her amazing talents, but this just reeks of catering for the sake of $$ and the appearance of being woke.
Make a WNBA 2K. Allow gamers to play a full roster and season/franchise of their favorite WNBA players and teams.
I think 2k knows no one would buy thay, especially pay more money. Just do the stuff you said but keep it in 2k. Seems like real WNBA and girl hoppers are excited for this so stop getting mad
I agree
There’s no more $$ to be made by adding women as a matter of fact they might lose money 😂
@@devmanboy8316 that's a good idea is to just add the WNBA as a playable league inside the game and rebrand it NBA/WNBA. Similar to being able to play rookie leagues in other games.
Who's mad?
FIFA added female teams but it's super limited, it's a shame because women's football is actually a lot better than the WNBA when compared to their male counterparts.
love this pod
Can't wait to play my career in WNBA...
I know right
😂😂😂😂
It's about time!
@@grahambecker if you get pregnant that count as an injury 😂
I see you you in that Lamar jersey
2k should bring back create a legend mode
Affirmative NBA action
Lol 😂
Lol..yea but its the NBA,no female whatsoever
Congratulations Candace Parker👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🥳
Shaq better quit flirting with Candace. He don’t want these problems lol
They would make a legend
@@NLawrence96 Facts lol
I miss the old version of the big Shaq podcast with Jonh Kincade
3:28 Why does Shaq's Candace impression sound like Muhammad Ali? 😂😂
Can't wait to start my WNBA GM Mode...
You will never me able to make a decision in that game and i guess there will be option to claim sexism in every avenue if you start losing games

Great podcast
Candace Parker could beat alot of dudes in hoopin,she from the chi we hoop til it hurt joe!!
FACTS !
A lot of high school boys can beat her 1 on 1
I wonder why there isn't a WNBA 2k game?
Ikr
I always wonder that i play with WNBA on nba live 19
For the same reason they're forcing wnba content into the NBA. Because Nobody cares about that LesbiActivist "league".
What about 2k20
Who's going to buy it?
The WNBA "fan" is going to be so excited.
Congratulations 🥳
What happened to this page when The Finals started. There's no upload for every Game?
TNT can't cover the Finals or revolve content around it. Contracts
DOPE ASF I LOVED IT
Why do you think they WNBA is having trouble pushing their own brand ?
Aside from the arguments others have mentioned, why is she the cover for a current game? She won DPOY lately but she won WNBA like how many years ago. This isn't even a decision to help WNBA, it's a decision by 2K for their own benefits and image. Show us the most dominant WNBA players this year. No offense to KD, he's still KD, but if he's chosen for the cover now, I'm gonna be like what is wrong with you? Look at Jokic, CP3, Giannis, Trae, or even Luka and what they're doing now.
#BEAR DOWN!!! Spice Adams. This episode should have been longer in my opinion considering this is history in the making. 30 minutes at least. It was too short. Idk why there's time constraints to this podcast. Anyway, congrats to Candace for the accomplishment. Mad Respect. Female athletes are starting to take over the world. It's too bad the WNBA hasn't exploded into popularity and mainstream consciousness. Players like Candace give credibility to the WNBA product.
Lebron had back to back 41 points game against the warriors in the finals, y'all stop
40 points 10 rebounds *
@@wajahat5673 Eh, Jordan’s still better
@@jameschillin302
Speaking up for the triggered Jordan fanboys, are you?
He still lost
@@DAllanRixxTV
Just like when Jordan dropped 63 on the Celtics in ‘86.
I think we all love Candace. But why isn’t the WNBA pushing their own game and their own brand ? You can’t force the WNBA down out throats they gotta make changes to their game and their brand. No shots thrown at Candace but this isn’t a good look in my opinion it wouldn’t be done vice Versa
You probably couldn't score one basket against those women in the WNBA. Chill out and let them get their shine on.
Lakers In 5 lol not even about that dude
@@lakersin556 that’s what ppl say when they have no valid argument. It’s the truth and you know it. If the WNBA was confident they would’ve pushed their own game but their partnered with the nba to push their brand on us.
@Jet LaDaDaDa Life ong😂😂💀💀
@@lakersin556 boy sthu
Shaq and Candace like a Love team hahhaahah
so instead of promoting the young nba players you have, you promote a wnba player. ok whoever thought this was a good idea will be fired when no one buys the game lol.
We just gotta stop buying shitK they keep recycling the game and now they're adding females into our sport
@@brrruhdon__718 our spot? 😆 foh boy you ain't no baller and im not either. Be a fan and let them live.

This will be the best selling NBA 2K ever!!! C'mon man?!?
Spice just watching sparks fly the entire time.
Hey NBA on TNT, could you guys make your videos in 4K picture quality?
@ZEE_RUIZ Because you don't have a 4K TV?
Idc what anybody says Candace is gorgeous 🥵
She is

Facts
Not a single person alive said anything about her looks besides you just saying, you're just virtue signaling so you can feel superior to everyone. Does playing basket ball have anything to do with attractiveness ? No. Just trying to create this weird narrative about someone's physical appearance like bro for real go outside and touch some grass.
@@chuggynation8275 if my comment triggered you that hard I'm afraid you need therapy
You know the major problem is not only they had to include a WNBA player on a men's basketball cover. If they really want to promote WNBA and women in sports, they can't be promoting this to men. Men in generally watch men's sports, they need to encourage women to watch & promoting women in sports. What are women interested in watching? It's not sports, and it's not men's fault for that. Shows like Ellen, the view, Wendy & the Real should do a better job at this.
No it’s not even that most women like men’s sports look at how many women watch and go to nfl games, and how all the famous women are court side at the men’s that want to be seen
Why is a WNBA player on the cover of an NBA video game? Shouldn't an NBA player be on the cover?
Woke sjw garbage. That's why.
Yes.
This just seems like a publicity move. Marketing gimmick for today’s society. Because it doesn’t make sense to put a female on the cover of men’s basketball.
There's multiple covers, Luka, Kareem, dirk, and Durant are also on it
@@chilldoc9638 that helps a little I guess

Cool good for her!
So many simps here. No hate on Parker, but why is she on the cover over even an above average player like Zach Levine?
Zach lavines a All Star, and Luka is the main cover athlete
@@DunkMan11 thanks Captain Obvious for the useless sidestep to the question being posed
@@hyedefinition1080 buddy I told you she wasn't the only cover athlete
It's 100% toxic woke sjw garage. Plain and simple.
Candace Parker is a badass. Amazing honor for her and exciting development for the growth of the game
I’d hardly call piggybacking off the NBA for a quarter century as an “exciting development for the growth of the game”
She's my hero
Why are the boys not covering the Finals?
That's an interesting way to improve your free throw % lol
Can someone make a petition to have Candace replace Kenny?
bout to be the lowest selling nba 2k game of all time. Book it.
Nah, all the feminists will buy it just for that.
Just buy it online
I have a feeling cause it makes no sense.

this nba2k aint gonna sell whats next a trans person on the cover with pride colors on the logo
You'd be surprised...

We all know this is just a move for more publicity and marketing

Why does Kareem look like Moses Malone on 2k22 cover?? 😂😂😂
How is this a Good thing ? NBA Game with a Non NBA player on the cover ?! agenda Forcing again.
a basketball player on the cover of a basketball game is not an aGeNdA. She is more deserving than a guy like Zion was who got a cover before playing in the league at all
@@pdotdouble0 alright everybody, who wins 1v1, Zion or Candace?
@@RiM2540 that's irrelevant. Duke was talking about "nba players" and zion got a cover before starting his first NBA season

@@RiM2540 no1 asked
Put LeBron on the cover of WNBA 2k21!
Will never happen. It’d cost money, unlike him living inside your head rent-free.
I feel sorry for any of the daughters of the "men" in here. Candace grew up idolising Shaq. Kobe, MJ and adoring men's basketball like we all do! Then she worked hard to get to the highest level she could, including 2x Olympic gold medals and the list of WNBA accomplishments. Why not allow her to be one of the options on the cover when BOTH guys and girls play both 2k and basketball? Men don't have a monopoly on loving the game. Just be proud she is an option of one of the athletes for your kids to look up to. She's earned this opportunity. It's got nothing to do with being "woke".
That is dope!!!!!!!
Big dub
🔥
yeah cuz im sure girls are buying nba 2k to be playing her. is there like a dunk dlc so i dont get bored to death doing layups
Boa tarde congrats vai amém bom trabalho
MAYA IS THAT YOU😎👌🏽👀
Put it this way. The fastest woman in the world can be beat by over 300 high school boys and every pro male runner in any country in the World. If you take the worst player in the NBA right now and put him in the WNBA he would be the greatest player to ever play in the league. This is the truth whether you like to hear it or not. I watch the NBA because it truly is the best athletes playing the sport. I don't watch the WNBA because they are nowhere near as good as the men.
Stop trying to force this on us, we don’t watch the WNBA, we don’t buy 2K for the WNBA…. FOH!!!
What team does she play for..?
Seriously. Off the top of my head, I have no idea. I think a fun drinking game would be to name random MLS and WNBA franchises and try to correctly guess which team belongs to which league.
Congrats to Candice
Congrats
Is she gonna get a 90 rating in game cause if in nba standard she is probably a 30
I love Candace but DeAndre Ayton been balling since his rookie year
Candace Parker has been balling since 08 bud

Why people hating so much on the WNBA?
Cause they sexist men who think that women are as good as men
bruh 😂😂😂😂😂
So you guys are just totally forget get lebron James back to back 40 point games in gm 5 and 6 2016 finals lead the whole series in every single category just wow
I honestly have a crush on Candace parker she is smart, talented, and gorgeous!
And you should be able to love her on her own brand in her own league
But
@@derrickmason7457 Well said !
I assure you this will either be the worst 2k or the greatest 😂💯
I doubt the greatest
A woman on a 2k cover?!! I'll pass on this game.
yikes
🤣🤣🤣
There's going to be a cover with Luka
Candice is so fine
Ayeee!! That’s my boo! She deserves it with all her accolades!
Not sure if I’m even going to waste my time with 2K22 but still an amazing accomplishment Candace Parker!!!
How’s it amazing that she got on a cover of an nba game? We all love Candace but it wouldn’t even be a thought for a woman’s success buisness advertised a man cmon now the WNBA needs to work on their own brand
@@derrickmason7457 what are you talking about?? WNBA is a branch of the NBA. It literally falls under the same umbrella. Women play NBA2k and now they get to pick a copy or cover with a female WNBA athlete on it. You acting like you have to buy the cover with her on it. My only issue with it is that it never feels genuine when 2k does things like this. If women aren’t going to be in the park then this was completely about the $$… that would be a slap in the face. 2K could seperate all of these modes from park, to MyCareer to MyNBA & the W but WE know that ain’t happenin!
Trash, I'd rather the Olympic basketball teams on the game or even the BIG3, TF is this
Stop hating
@s b why tho I think it dope
Regarding record rebounding stats... Name another big man in the league like Giannis? Go ahead I'll wait....
70s80s90s all had dynamic big men across the league... 70s Wilt, Kareem, Walton, Russell, Sikma, Malone...etc 80s Malone, Kareem, Hakeem the dream, Parish, Sikma, Gilmore, Laimbeer, Ewing.... 90s(in my opinion, the era of greatest big men ever) shaq, hakeem, morning, mutombo, Robinson, divac, sabonis, malone, Ewing, dawkins, Parish, Wallace... 2021 Giannis..... I would shocked if he doesn't dominate the board in this era of small ball. He has no contemporary... I think teams are realizing the error of all this flashy small ball nonsense... Lets get Giannis a contemporary. Then lets judge his legend status. He is doing what he is supposed to do when you are great big man without an equal. Block shots, rebound and dominate the paint... I feel bad that he will be judged ultimately by the weakness of his position's competition. When Politicians run for office unopposed, they win by default... Someone please find me a big man in this generation... I'll wait.
Shaq and Candice should have a baby. Point blank period y’all know what I mean
I hope I don't get a Candace Parker myteam card
