    great opportunity for this little girl learning russian, maybe learning some french because of where dady plays... maybe she did not have choice but Candace putting her baby in an all Russian school is very smart... it is good for kids cognitive development to have to touch so many cultutures and languages...

    It's amazing how Candace can balance taking care of and having a healthy relationship with her daughter whilst playing basketball professionally year round (WNBA & Overseas). Sheldon seems like he's a great husband and father as well. What a beautiful family (:

    Ok this what yall are missing. WNBA seasons are during the summer. Most women professional basketball players play overseas from OCT-MAY. Some of you don't realize that the money they make over there is huge compare to WNBA salaries. They just play WNBA to play in the states and it keeps them in basketball shape all year. Plus and extra salary to go with it. Some WNBA players stay in the U.S. during the traditional basketball season, but don't play ball (etc Kara Lawson, Swin Cash and others) who does NCAA women's basketball for ESPN

      I think WNBA should market season tix to schools or sports teams to get more in attendance

    • @maxjullian570
      @maxjullian570 6 лет назад +3

      Also WNBA SHOULD schedule international teams in a deal to globalize sport but if other countries pay more get paid

    • @Rspsand07
      @Rspsand07 5 лет назад +3

      They don't. They almost double the wage you need to be in the top 5% of earners. However, they do it for the money. They make more than NBA players, in Russia and China, and from 10 to 20x more than they do in the US.

    • @thejabisking5426

    The WNBA should do more things like this. As fans, we don't see the players unless it's in season. Even then, in some cities the players aren't highlighted at all. Some of the best athletes in the world call the WNBA home and are so much more approachable than many other professional athletes, why not showcase them better?

    Honestly these players should just play in Europe. IDK if the low ratings of WNBA cause the low pay, but I mean women's basketball players deserve 5 million max contracts at least. it is obvious Europe has better quality than the WNBA and are treating their players right.

      Probably because she is a "beauty" from the inside out and values people who value her as a whole person. Some women/people, especially those who have established their own goals and purpose, look for a whole person to pour their love, time, energy into.... may seem unbelievable, but try to change your own thinking and what you think is worthy of love...or make sure to hook up with someone who shares your same values :-)

    I agree they push gender equality here so much but yet they pay female athletes more in Russia than in America.
    For me the best most watchable women's sport is definitely tennis, those women are true professionals and good at what they do. it's also the highest paid as far as I know.

    1st thing is she is over there cause Russia's women's premier league pays women's basketball players more than the WNBA. So she plays all year round.
    Second dude what u said is not true, Pushkin was only part black, I think 1/4, this is because he had an ancestor named Abram Gannibal who came to Russia under Peter. Pushkin was a poet and the Russian language was around for hundreds of years before he started writing.
    Anyway cute vid :)and most russians have big hearts and are friendly people.

    It is both a race and nationality, you are right since there are lots of different ethnicities in Russia, but the majority is still Slavic Russia. Dude please check wikipedia before saying stuff like this, before Russian they spoke Old Church Slavonic which is from the 9th century. Then they spoke Old Russian from the 10th. Before that they were mostly tribes and such to my knowledge without written languages.
    To Azndestroya77 he was 1/8 black, his mom was 1/4 and grandfather 1/2.
