Girl Fight! WNBA’s Sparks and Shock Throwdown

This fight will be the highlight of the season. Mahorn kept the others teams players away from his players. He didn’t swing. Didn’t clench his fist. Leslie get her feelings hurt because she flopped back like a little girl? Rick Mahorn. 6’10” 300lbs+. Detroit bad boys.
Yeah Leslie, you’re just a little girl. Forget about calling Mahorn out and meeting him in a back alley.  Stick to fighting other little girls.

Little girl?  I don’t think so.  When is the last time you dunked a basketball or, for that matter, played in any sort of professional sporting match.  Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker are ladies who got caught up in the spirit of competition.

i was at that game…
im from detroit and i believe planette pierson is to blame
stupid heffa did not need to do that.
Deanna Nolan was an idiot for tackling Candace to the ground

Come on TNGIRL lets not try to compare mens sports to womens sports. True they play pro basketball but it is the WNBA not NBA. You are right they are ladies that got caught up in the spirit of copmetition. BIGTEX is also right Mahorn didn’t push her down she more or less fell.

lisa floppd.

Mahorn did push her.  Was it hard enough for her to fall?  Wasn’t there, don’t know.  As for NBA vs. WNBA--the ladies are playing at the top of the game that they are allowed to play.  It’s not a man vs. woman thing.  My point is that to call Lisa Leslie a “little girl” is demeaning and trivializes her abilities.  It was a competition that got out of control.  I’ve seen it with men, women, umpires, and even parents in the stands.

Yes, Mahorn did push her. Was his intent to knock her down? Very doubtful. The ladies ARE playing at the top of their game but lets not use the words “that they are allowed to play”. I personally love the WNBA but there is nobody holding them back. You are right Lisa should not have been called a “little girl” she is actually my second favorite player behind Candice. The competition did get out of control. That happens, the league will surtvive.

I wasn’t implying that they were being held back.  I was simply saying that they are playing at the top of their league--a women’s league.  If it did not exist, they would be playing overseas as many of my friends did in the 80’s and hoping one day to play with the men.  With Parker’s abilities and the twenty years that we have progressed with the acceptance of women athletes, I dare say that she would be making strides to play with the men.

Janice Parker is a tremendous basketball player HOWEVER, I wouldn’t put her with the men. I agree with you that womens athletics, especially basketball, is finally getting some of the credit that it deserves. I’d still like to see the woman have a longer season and higher salaries.

I am a big cp3 fan i love her and i am a big fan one of the biggest, but I mean I am a basketball player and if I previously had a confrontation with ford, of course I would be mad but then again yes if I am candace she is a big role model, a lot of kids look up to her now there going to think its okay to fight during a basketball game but is all depends on the situation. So, if someone is starting with me and boxing me out when it is most definitely unnecessary when whoever was shooting at the line and you’re in the WNBA it is most likely to be in and then plenette getting in her face of course she is going to stand up for herself and not be pushed around. And yes through out the game candace was talking trash but so was everyone else she is allowed if anyone i mean lets see she is amazing and has all the right. She is no where near being a thug she just tryin to play the game and represent and try to make the game better and more not manly like but more physical and more NBA like. And some of the WNBA rides on her shoulders but not all yea she is an amazing rookie she loves the game and will represent yes she’s a hot head but so is everyone who has emotion in the game i am 15 and love the game of basketball and no matter what i will look up to candace and lisa no matter how they represent the game of basketball like candace said, “lisa was the first generation i was the 2nd “ and yes i am the 3rd or by the time i get there maybe the 5th or 6th i dont know how candace will have changed the game by then!
AND FOR EVERYONE THINKS WNBA IS A LITTLE BABY GAME AND THAT FIGHT WAS A CAT FIGHT WHY DONT USES TRYING PLAYIN IN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

i am 15 and love the game of basketball
i dnt think that candace should be blamed at all for this if anyone should be a fault it should be plenette she shouldnt have came at parker like that. cp was just tryin to defind herself and i would have done the same thing. iam candace parkers biggest fan. i love her. she is my role model. i play aau basketball and just came back from nationals. the game was physical from start to finish and it was only a matter of time before something would have hoped off. that is my thought. i love the WNBA

Rick Mahorn need to be ashamed of himself, pushing Lisa Leslie down like that.

Mahorn didn’t push her down. He put both his arms out and she fell. He did make contact but he did not intentionally pushe her down.
