Every once in a while, athletes take a much-deserved break from all the intense practice sessions and the pressure of the regular season. While many like to get away to some exotic locations by the beach, some people such as Candace Parker apparently like the cabin life. The WNBA star is currently cooped up with her family in Gatlinburg but took some time out to have a video chat with NBA analysts Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson.
The 2x WNBA champion had originally gone to Tennessee to watch the basketball team of her Alma Mater, the University of Tennessee playing against Georgia. While the game was held in Knoxville, Candace Parker and her family then made their way to Gatlinburg to spend some quality time.

In a recent episode of The Steam Room, hosts Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson talked about cabin life with their guest star Candace Parker. Upon acknowledging the fact that Parker was in some ‘cabin in the woods’ at the moment, Barkley asked her if she was hunting out and cooking her dinner. In response, the Chicago Sky player replied that she had simply brought a few marinated chickens from Kroger. Barkley then suggested she go out in the backyard and hunt down some animals and put up a barbeque instead of encouraging her to ‘live the life’.
