Los Angeles Sparks' legend Candace Parker, just months after having her No. 3 jersey retired in Crypto.com Arena's rafters earlier this June, recently spoke on thoughts of WNBA expansion to future cities and states. On a recent episode of "Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston," Parker discussed future opportunities within the WNBA — revealing her dream expansion franchise destination.

Furthermore, Parker called out the WNBA while discussing certain advantages that come with playing in Unrivaled — a women's professional three-on-three league in the U.S., co-founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart — during the offseason instead of overseas.

"I really do challenge the WNBA to step their game up," she said.
