Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah BostonShow Notes
Candace Parker is back on Post Moves after an unforgettable week, fresh off her induction into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Candace and Aliyah Boston celebrate the milestone before diving into everything happening around the WNBA, including the Indiana Fever's recent wins.
Candace and Aliyah also break down the Fever's heated series against the Phoenix Mercury, including Sophie Cunningham's viral finger-pointing meme, Alyssa Thomas' upgraded Flagrant 2 suspension, and the conversation surrounding physicality, officiating, and player safety across the league. Plus, they react to the New York Liberty winning their second Commissioner's Cup title, discuss whether Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart have established themselves as championship favorites, and catch up on everything else around the WNBA—from Marina Mabrey tying the league scoring record and the Washington Mystics' wild four-overtime thriller to Kate Martin joining the Los Angeles Sparks and Skylar Diggins speaking out on social media.
And of course, they had to celebrate Aliyah Boston being voted a 2026 WNBA All-Star starter for the fourth time, becoming the No. 1 fan-voted frontcourt player with more than one million votes. Thank you to the Post Ups for helping AB reach that incredible milestone! Candace and AB react to the All-Star starters, debate the biggest snubs, discuss the league's new All-Star format featuring Teresa Weatherspoon and Cynthia Cooper as honorary GMs.
As always, Candace and AB wrap things up by answering questions from the Post Ups.
