Candace Parker on 2016 Olympics Snub: 'I Don't Think Geno Wanted Me on the Team'

Fresh off of leading the Sky to its first WNBA championship, forward Candace Parker did not shy away from speaking on why she believes she wasn't selected for Team USA in the 2016 Summer Olympics.

The two-time WNBA champion told Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks in a live interview on Tuesday that she felt legendary coach Geno Auriemma did not want her on the team.

"To have a situation where I went to a camp, had a triple double at the camp, was first or second in scoring, it wasn't on the court," Parker said.
