The president's homage to the basketball star's career was no slam dunk.
President Joe Biden celebrated the career of retiring Las Vegas Aces star Candace Parker as he congratulated the team for its WNBA championship on Thursday.
Only he got Parker’s career wrong.
“While she couldn’t be here,” Biden said at the White House ceremony, “I want to acknowledge someone who will be considered one of the greatest all-time coaches — Candace Parker.”
Parker has never coached, but she has put together a remarkable stint as a player for the Los Angeles Sparks, Chicago Sky and briefly for the Aces.
The president quickly got back on track in listing her achievements on the court.
