The NBA All-Star Game 2024 culminated last night at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. On the night, the Eastern Conference, rather notably, set the highest-scoring performance by a team, defeating the Western Conference with a score of 211-186. Damian Lillard led the game with 39 points, which earned him the MVP title, and Karl-Anthony Towns became the leading scorer with 50 points.

As it happens, the best the NBA has to offer showcased their flashiest kicks at the All-Star Weekend. Celebrating the sport of basketball, the NBA All-Star Game 2024 is going to be remembered for its record-breaking performances, however, WNBA star Candace Parker also added to the excitement, bringing a tad bit of sparkle on the stage.

A’ja Wilson’s humorous take on Parker’s ensemble

Candace Parker is dazzling in her recent Instagram stories, as she is pictured walking up and down the stage donning a pair of glitter pants. More to the amusement of her teammates present at the event, A’ja Wilson calls out to Parker with her all-time fan-favorite style of humor as she spins the camera. She says, “Look who it is!!!….c’mon glitter pants, shimmer shimmer,” hyping her in her sparkling outfit.

Notably, Candace Parker became the first female commentator and analyst at the All-Star game in 2023. She was a part of the broadcast team on TNT and TBS with Brian Anderson, Reggie Miller, and Allie LaForce.
