The only one of her kind in Lady Vol history, Candace Parker—a star player at forward, center, and guard—led the Lady Vols basketball team to the second of their back-to-back national championships in 2008. In the last championship under head coach Pat Summitt and Parker’s second straight championship, the Lady Vols defeated the Stanford Cardinal 64-48. Parker was named the Final Four most outstanding player in both of her championships and was a two-time consensus national player of the year as well. She was the first female player to dunk in an NCAA Tournament game and also dunk twice in a single college contest. UT retired Parker’s No. 3 jersey in 2014. After she won a WNBA national championship with the Los Angeles Sparks following Summitt’s death in 2016, Parker said, “This is for Pat.”
