It's not surprising that Candace Parker and Geno Auriemma don't have much in common, but Parker revealed Tuesday night in a live interview with Bleacher Report a key difference between them in her mind: Parker is willing to work with people she doesn't like.
Parker did not hold back when talking with Taylor Rooks, explicitly stating she has no relationship with USA Basketball. Parker was on the 2008 and 2012 Olympic gold-medal teams, but was not selected for the 2016 team despite her performance at training camp (where she was a top scorer and recorded a triple-double).
"It wasn't on the court," Parker said.
