The Sacramento Bee said that former University of Tennessee basketball star Candace Parker and NBA player Shelden Williams, her fiance', eloped Nov. 13 at Lake Tahoe.
'We just decided that with both of our schedules, it would be better to elope,' Williams told the newspaper.
Parker, who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks, was named MVP and Rookie of the Year in September by the WNBA.
The newlyweds live in Sacramento with their three dogs

Please Candice, when your first child is born, assuming it is a boy, don't let Kentucky sign him in the delivery room.

OK....There is no way Sheldon Williams should be with her. He looks that the bad guy off the movie "Cobra". Plus I wouldn't classify Sheldon Williams as part of any couple called a "Power Couple" another crappie Duke player making a living as a scrub NBA player

I think Candace was looking more at this stat: Salary for 2009 = $3,395,760 than at his 4 pts and 4 rebs per game. Even scrub NBA guys pull down 4 Mil per year.

Yea I guess 4 mill over powers 4 pts....I'd say Coach K will be lining up for the 1st boy as well....He's an overpaid scrub

Too late...reports are saying that Candace is already pregnant and Billy Gillespie has offered a scholarship to the fetus during the ultrasound. Gillespie was impressed by the fetus' length.

Shelden is part of the best line in the "This is why you suck" parody music video about duke...
"Your coach, he looks like Hitler, oh **** i think he's dead...Redick fix your backne, Shelden fix your head."

Not knowing to any degree of certainty, I would feel a delicacy in articulating for fear of prevaricating.
In other words I don't understand your post. Why are you so negative about Shelton?

Considering that Candace pulls in more than $1 million a year on her own between her WNBA salary and a number of endorsements, I think it likely has nothing to do with his salary.
Re: their children. Candace has said her children, and her children's children will come to UT. The world should rest in peace.

I wish this young couple all the best life has to offer them. I hope their life together is filled with love, joy and happiness.
I find it so funny when people who can't dribble a basketball much less make a D-III college team put down a NBA player. If he couldn't play he wouldn't be on a pro team. It really is that simple so get a life and stop removing all doubt of your stupidity.
