    They did Candace so dirty. I will never forget what they did in keeping her off the team. I’m glad she answered this question honestly because it needs to be said. She was quiet when it was just her, but when they did that to Nneka while keeping a hobbled DT on the team just so she could get that 5th gold, their bias was undeniable. I’m over USA basketball. They can kick rocks.

      I still can't believe they snubbed like that but Candace Parker actually got snubbed for the Olympics twice and won the title that very same season she really needs to get more respect in my opinion because I think her career she has in the WNBA is extremely underrated and doesn't get talked about enough.🏀

    I’m glad she spoke her truth. She should not have been cut. There was no reason for her not to make the team.For Some strange reason we seen Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi from U Conn made it to make 5 gold medals. Every time some speak their truth they try to silence them or make it seem as they being difficult, unreasonable, or they need to get over themselves. Candace is the Goat and it’s hard for Geno to swallow that so he tried to take something from her.

Plus Candice was the best player in College , her entire college Career. She Won 2 National Championships. She was the 1st Pick in the WNBA DRAFT. But Geno an Pat Summit hated Each other. They even stoped talking for Awhile. This is just my opinion , but I definitely think he has held that against her in terms of his Selections on the Olympic Team. Ain’t know Way in hell should she not to have been on that 2016 team.

I personally think that it all goes back to her college days at Tennessee . She won 2 national championships with coach Summit. They never lost to Geno an UConn in her 4 years at TENNESSEE . An I think he held that against her. Him an Coach Summit also stoped speaking to each other for a few years.

      @@MauriceMamba how am I off my rocker telling you not to make a decision based on hearing only one side of a story? And Candace did play for Gino at the 2012 London Olympics where she started in the starting five but was clearly unwell the whole tournament. She admitted that she very strongly disliked Gino and it makes no sense to have some one on a basketball team which is all about finding people who get along to have one bad apple especially at this level of the sport where the GOLD medal makes you the LORD OF THE RINGS. I like Candace a lot think she is one of the top players in the world always questioned why she isn't playing for team USA but have to note that she is the only player not making the team. At Rio you only had 12 spots Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Tameka Catchings, Britney Grinner, Briana Stewart, Maya Moore, Simone Augustus, Lyndsey Whalen, Elena Delle Donne, Sylvia Fowles, Angel McCoughtry, Tina Charles. If Candace didn't make that team it has more to do with Candace than it has to do with Gino as he clearly didn't need her you need to work on many levels to earn your place on a competitive team like that and what did she do to earn her place exactly? She said she did amazingly well at the try outs along side the other Super stars but that's her personal opinion it hasn't been backed by others. I still like Candace very much and wil continue to support her.

I watched her dominate Sylvia fowls in College . On her way to her 1st or Second National Championship. Mia Moore , Dianna Taurasi, are very Good Guards, but can’t play all 5 positions. But Candice could do it all . Rebound , assist, an score the Ball. Shes a Freak of Nature. I say that out of Respect for her Game over the Years.

      Her legacy is etched in stone as one of the greatest women’s basketball players to ever play. Only a fool would say she didn’t deserve and EARN being on that team. Coming off a WNBA Season where she averaged almost 20ppg 10rpg and over 6apg. There’s not 12 players who deserved to be on that 2016 team over her. There’s not 6 front court players who deserved to be on that team over her. A multi dimensional and positional player who led the 2012 team. Her gripe is that the ends don’t match the means. I don’t ever recall a coach going from coach one year to the selection committee the next. That spoke of how much say so Geno had and how much USAB valued his opinion. Geno hasn’t been the most forthright person EVER he always stammers and flubs over hard lines of questioning and often more times than not he gets a lot of grace from that type of questioning.
