Candace Parker solidified her legacy as one of the game's greatest players by delivering her hometown Chicago Sky their first WNBA title.
Parker went home as a free agent last off-season after 13 seasons in Los Angeles and helped the Sky climb to the top of the WNBA in just their second Finals appearance in franchise history.
After the historic championship win was secured Sunday, fans across the basketball world celebrated on social media.
