Candace Parker has some tricks up her sleeve.
The WNBA superstar pulled off some magic as her Chicago Sky hosted the Seattle Storm at Wintrust Arena Tuesday night. Midway through the second quarter, she absolutely duped her defender with an epic ball fake to secure an easy two points and a viral highlight.
Let's break down the incredible play below:
With roughly four minutes remaining in the half, Parker posted up just beneath the elbow and called for the ball.

She collected the ball en route to the low block, but Storm forward Stephanie Talbot was right there to block Parker's path to the basket.

Instead of powering past the 6-foot-2 Australian, Parker set her feet and rose up to the tips of her toes for what looked like a pass back to the high post.

Instead, the two-time WNBA MVP held onto the ball, duping Talbot into glancing right as Parker charged towards the basket.
