Apart from being a radiologist, Candace Parker’s brother, Marcus is also a basketball coach. With a goal to provide the same opportunities that led his sister, Candace to become who she is today, Parker has been coaching several young girls. He started the Tampa Aces a few years back and coaches the team of girls in second through fifth grades.
In one of the interviews, the girls from the team mentioned that the program ran by Marcus polished their skills on the court and sharpened their discipline and critical thinking skills. The league also includes Marcus’s eldest daughter, Naomi Parker. And who knows, Candace’s daughter, Lailaa Nicole Williams might even join the team in the coming days.
Moreover, Marcus Parker’s sister, Candace is expecting her first kid with her wife, Anna Petrakova. So, it seems like Marcus has one more little one he can coach to bring more glory to the Parker name.
Marcus Parker’s dad, Larry Parker, is a former basketball player, and he might be the reason why Marcus and his siblings got interested in basketball. Apart from coaching, he also played basketball for some time.
