Description

“I would challenge anyone to love the game of basketball more than me.” Candace Parker, three-time WNBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist, joins Michael Kosta to discuss her new book, “The Can-Do Mindset.” She explains how the title speaks to her childhood nickname and the lessons her family instilled in her, how much the WNBA has grown since her tenure as an athlete, the physical toll of the game, and how she fills the competitive void off-the-court. #DailyShow #CandaceParker #WNBA Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Hearing her speak about what she’s doing after playing is inspiring because even for us average Joes it gets harder and harder to play and you eventually have to embrace other hobbies.

Excellent interview! I'm a big fan of hers. I was sad she left the Sparks, but she had her reasons to. Candace is a real one 👏🏻

This is one of Kosta's best interview and I hope he thinks about it... He isn't putting himself in the position of an athlete --- because he was an athlete... that is a learning moment

What a great interview! Glad you guys are shining some well deserved light on the WNBA. The players before were the spark, Caitlin is the fire, but now it’s the media’s job to pour gasoline on it. Candace is an amazing person. Can’t wait to get her book over here in Sweden.
