They first saw each other at an AAU tournament in Florida when they were 13. Candace Parker was the graceful, tall girl who even then could do it all on court. Candice Wiggins had enough pep to fuel an ocean liner.
"I remember being like, just, wow," Wiggins said of seeing Parker for the first time. Meanwhile, Parker recalled of Wiggins, "She was just a ball of energy. We were all sitting there in amazement watching her play." |

| Ace and Ice both went through multiple interviews -- they probably felt like they were never going to end -- Monday. And in terms of intelligence, being well-spoken, thoughtful, patient, complimentary of their teammates and each other … really, they were the same. |
Yo! The players aren't stressing over on-court behavior/relationships. You'll obviously have your preferences as to who to win, but no one can deny that it's two great players, two great coaches, two great programs, and one great game.  Let's just enjoy the game. |
