Virginian Pilot, VA - 5 hours ago
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Talking to Candace Parker, this much is clear: She's excited.

The Tennessee forward/center/guard on dunking the basketball, which she has done five times, "I've always gotten excited when I see a dunk. A lot of players can do it nowadays. We're a lot more athletic. We start from a younger age, so we have that foundation."

On women's basketball: "I'm just excited about where the women's game is going, from the coverage on ESPN and games that are picked up on CSTV. It's exciting where the game is headed."

On kids wearing her No. 3 Lady Vols jersey: "The first time I saw this little girl in my jersey, I just about died. It's exciting. It really is. You get all these fan letters and I've looked up to so many people that to think people see me as a role model is exciting."

Watching Parker play, this much is clear: She is exciting, arguably the most dynamic woman ever to play the game.

Dunk, jumper or layup. It's all the same to Tennessee's Candace Parker, just another way to score for the No. 4 Lady Vols. Parker is the only woman in college to dunk this season, and her jam against UConn in Hartford gave her six for her career.
