Skinny: Just when you thought Parker had done it all, the top pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft turned in another special moment. She joined Lisa Leslie as the only players in WNBA history to dunk in a game with this slam against the Fever and then followed it up with another jam against the Storm. She has also picked up her scoring with two games of at least 22 points in her last four and has notched two double-doubles over that span. She is second in the league in rebounding and third in blocks.
