Hi Holly, can you tell me what the age rule is to play in the WNBA? I thought if a player was 19 they were too young to be drafted into the WNBA? No?

My guest this week on SPOLITICS is basketball legend Candace Parker. We discuss her new book, the Can-Do Mindset, what it feels like to have the LA Sparks retire her jersey despite their complicated past, and why she waited until she two years into her marriage to her wife, Anna, to come out.

Teddy Pendergast
Marvin Gaye
Michael Jackson
Stevie Wonder
Charlie Wilson
Aaron Hall

I know people will blink slowly at where I have Aaron Hall, but the other singers have more overall range. Aaron has one gear.

I also love, LOVE Charlie Wilson. I just couldn’t put him above the other singers.

Can you settle an argument?
How would you rank on pure singing talent, not their music, just their singing voices:
Stevie Wonder
Michael Jackson
Charlie Wilson
Teddy Pendergast
Marvin Gaye
Aaron Hall
