An emotional Candace Parker dedicated her 2016 WNBA Finals win to Pat Summitt, the legendary women's basketball head coach who passed away earlier this year.
"This is for Pat," Parker said after the Los Angeles Sparks won their first title in 14 seasons. Parker had 28 points and 12 rebounds in Game 5 and won the Finals MVP trophy as well.
Summitt, a Hall of Famer, was one of the best head coaches of all time. She has 1,098 wins in NCAA basketball and eight championships for the Tennessee Lady Vols.
Summitt handled Parker from 2005-2008 and helped her win a Wade Trophy and two John R. Wooden awards.
