Lady Vols legend Candace Parker, South Carolina star Aliyah Boston starting new podcast
The new show is called "Post Moves" and the first episode will premiere July 30, according to Sports Business Journal, and is part of Sinclair's national podcast network. The podcast will have new episodes every Wednesday.
"Candace, you know you've been someone I've looked up to since I was a kid, and now I get to do a podcast with you?" Boston said in a video promo posted on X.
Boston, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, is set to make her third All-Star appearance on July 19 (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC). The first episode will feature Boston, the unanimous 2023 Rookie of the Year, sharing behind the scenes stories from WNBA All-Star weekend in Indianapolis.
Parker, who won NCAA titles at Tennessee in 2007 and 2008, retired in 2024 as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. The two-time MVP won three WNBA titles with three different franchises – Sparks, Sky and Aces – during her 16-year career.
"Both of us post players dominate the paint in our own way," Parker said in the promo video. "Even though we're from different generations, we've got a lot to say about the game and life off the court as well."
Parker's career on the court may have ended, but she has only gotten busier off the court. She's the president of Adidas women's basketball and released a book titled "The Can-Do Mindset" in June. Parker has been involved in media with Bleacher Report, where she hosted a podcast called "The Trophy Room" and produced content with this year's WNBA rookie class.
Parker is also joining Amazon Prime Video as a studio analyst for its first season of NBA and WNBA coverage in 2025-26.
Parker is the only player in league history to rank in the top 10 all-time in points, assists, rebounds and blocks. She's also the only player to win WNBA Rookie of the year and MVP in the same season. Her jersey was retired by the Los Angeles Sparks on June 29, and the Chicago Sky will retire her jersey on Aug. 25, making her the second WNBA player to have her jersey retired by two franchises.

Dwyane Wade breaks down how the current WNBA players are fighting for a better future: "We are in a space right now where we see the league growing in front of our eyes"
Dwyane Wade breaks down how the current WNBA players are fighting for a better future: "We are in a space right now where we see the league growing in front of our eyes" originally appeared on Basketball Network. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game is officially in the books, and oh, boy, if there was ever a statement that this league is booming, it was made at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, the home of the Fever and the Pacers. Even without the nominally biggest star, Caitlin Clark, who sat out nursing a groin injury of hers, the rest of the pack, from Angel Reese and A'ja Wilson to Breanna Stewart to Kelsey Plum, made sure fans got a show. But the biggest highlight wasn't just on the court. Players used the much-awaited national spotlight to push one very important conversation forward, as they all showed up in shirts that read "Pay Us What You Owe Us." Making it clear that, as much as this was a moment to relax and showcase basketball skills, it was also a reminder that the fight for more, both money and acknowledgment, is still far from over. The WNBA is boomin' That's the story of this WNBA season, a league enjoying the glow-up while never losing sight of the battles that still need to be won. These women aren't just hooping for themselves. They're hoping for the next generation of girls who will inherit a different league than the one we're watching today. The WNBA has come a long way. Bigger TV deals, arenas that draw more spectators and growing endorsement opportunities have made the league more marketable, more competitive and, frankly, more exciting for fans. But for the players, the growth goes beyond the numbers. It's about building something that lasts. Dwyane Wade, a 13-time NBA All-Star and the minority owner of the Chicago Sky, spoke on his podcast "The Timeout" about just how important that fight is. "The one thing is, what a lot of, even us NBA players, what we don't understand when it comes to the guys before us is we always take it as hate a lot. 'Oh, the older guys that hatin' on us,' and it feels like that when you are a younger guy and the older are talking about the game or about how much money you make," Wade argued in the recent episode. "When you look at the WNBA now, they are putting on for, yes, they talkin' about themselves but ultimately knowing that some people in this league today will not get the chance to experience what the league would eventually be…" the Miami Heat icon added. "We are in a space right now where we can see a league that is growing in our eyes. We didn't see that in the NBA because by the time we watched it, it seemed like it's already grown." Fighting for a better future for the WNBA It is the point of the whole conversation about what, on the surface, looks like a desire for more money. The women dominating the WNBA today may not fully reap the rewards of what they're fighting for, but they're doing it knowing that the next generation will. And that's what makes this moment so special. The WNBA is at a rare intersection: talented enough to pull in massive audiences, bold enough to challenge the system and still young enough as a league to reinvent itself. With generational stars like Reese and Clark, alongside many voices of support for their struggle, like Wade's, are planting the seeds of a better future. And we are all there to witness it. Will it happen overnight? No. But the message coming out of All-Star weekend was clear: the current generation isn't just here to play. They're here to make sure that by the time the next wave of players steps into the league, the WNBA won't need to ask for story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

Caitlin Clark rookie card sells for $660,000, smashing women's sports card record
Another Caitlin Clark card, another record for the most expensive women's sports card ever. Clark's 2024 Panini WNBA Rookie Royalty Flawless patch autographed one-of-one rookie card sold for $660,000 through Fanatics Collect's July Premier auction Thursday night. This card nearly doubled the March sale of a different one-of-a-kind Clark card, her 2024 Panini Prizm WNBA Signatures Gold Vinyl autograph rookie card, which went for $366,000 through Goldin Auctions. This record sale could have quick competition, though. Clark's one-of-a-kind Immaculate patch autographed rookie card, also from the Rookie Royalty set, is up for auction. The card currently holds a price of $219,600 on Goldin with the auction set to end Aug. 9. Thursday's sale is another example of Clark's card market being unfazed by her injury riddled 2025 season. She's only played in 13 of the Indiana Fever's 25 games so far — even missing this year's WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis — with calf and groin injuries. A few key elements set the Rookie Royalty one-of-ones apart from the Prizm card that previously held the record sale. The autograph on the Flawless and Immaculate cards are directly on the card — this is far more desirable to collectors than autographed stickers that are placed on cards, which is what the Prizm card has. In addition, the Flawless and Immaculate cards also feature the WNBA 'Logowoman' patch from Indiana Fever jerseys. Even though they're from jerseys that weren't personally worn by Clark, league logo patches command a premium in cards. Clark also inscribed the Flawless card with '769 pts and counting.' This refers to how many points she scored during her 2024 campaign in which she won the WNBA rookie of the year award. The Immaculate card is inscribed with 'ROY 24' to signify Clark's rookie of the year honors. The Flawless and Immaculate brands typically stand as two of Panini's top high-end products, meaning the cards from those sets command some of the highest price tags for collectors to buy on the secondary market. Flawless and Immaculate have traditionally been a stand-alone sets, but Panini inserted the brands and other high-end company labels like National Treasures and Noir within the Rookie Royalty boxes. That means there is also a similar one-of-a-kind National Treasures Clark Logowoman autographed card in Rookie Royalty, too. This wasn't the only part of the unusual set up. Panini launched its Dutch auction for the boxes containing two cards starting at $30,000. Most boxes sold for around $4,000, though. Each box includes just two cards and is guaranteed to contain an on-card autograph of either Clark or Angel Reese and a Downtown or Kaboom insert of one of 12 players (including Clark and Reese).
