In a world where egos drive the idea of what defines a winner, Candace Parker walks in humble shoes. Her wins are not separated to stand alone apart from her team and the harsh lessons of loss. She has learned to turn the “disrespect” into a nonfactor by choosing self-care and preservation. 




Candace speaks to her growth and battles on and off the court. She became an NBA analyst in 2019, and with both perspectives, she expresses the importance of criticism and the value it brings to the game.




In 2021, Parker helped the Chicago Sky win their first WNBA Championship, and in that celebratory moment, she immediately started looking for her daughter. Parker expresses her gratitude for motherhood and the power of unconditional love.

NAKED SPORTS lives at the intersection of sports, politics, and culture. It is a niche groundbreaking interview-based show that dives deep into the lives of the game-changers who have helped shape our world. We explore how sports are interwoven not only into their personal lives; but the role they play in the global experience.  NAKED SPORTS is hosted by Cari Champion, a trailblazing broadcast journalist and television personality renowned for her pioneering contributions to sports media for women.

In each episode, this distinguished host sits down with, a diverse array of athletes, politicians, and cultural innovators who have left an indelible mark on their fields. Through intimate, unfiltered conversations, the show reveals the raw and vulnerable sides of their journeys—peeling back the layers to explore the defining moments, personal struggles, and transformative experiences that live at the intersection of sports, culture, and politics.

These conversations are thematically linked to live at the intersection and on this new season of NAKED SPORTS, we begin with a six-part docu-series, The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese, in which Cari questions how this “rivalry” started. Does the necessity for success depend on a foil? In a time of divisiveness, are sports—more specifically the WNBA—a reflection of our country? Or will the greatness of two supernovas unite this country and heal race relations?

NAKED SPORTS guests will span varied backgrounds, providing diverse perspectives as we examine how sports play a crucial role in nearly every aspect of life.
