Sounds like the the ESPYs actually nominate the best players instead of selecting based on politics. Crazy, I know.

I do not.

I'm not sure if the players themselves think the ESPY's are all that important either! Rolling Eyes

I suppose literally they're not directly inconsistant, but it seems a little odd for someone to be both best comeback athlete and best athlete.

Guess that's quite a comeback to go from somewhere far down the list (presumably) not just back to good, but all the way to #1.

Or, the categories and selections could just be ESPN nonsense.


Hmmmm.......I think I'll go with "ESPN nonsense" as the most likely explanation.

This is Parker's a millionth award by the ESPY's aka the male dominated awards and a few token women's awards to the prettiest girl Rolling Eyes . To have Parker win that award and to not even be in the top 5 or maybe even 10 for MVP both last season and this season is an absolute joke. I mean, a minimum requirement should be to be the best player on your team. I guess bitching and whining about being left off the USA team and then doing a smear campaign on UConn gets you what you want sometimes in this world! But jokes on her, over half her all-star starter teammates are Huskies so are half the starters in the game overall! Oh my, the conspiracy! Geno is running the WNBA All-Star game too Wink

Questionable decision, I agree. Although questionable decisions seem to be the norm when it comes to women's basketball and the ESPYs.
But for the record, Parker was in the top 5 in MVP voting last season.

She didn't win Best Comeback Player. Jordy Nelson did. She just had a nomination in that category, but I can't tell you why tho. Laughing

I don't know about comeback player but she could have been nominated for Best Championship Performance.

The Ogwumike Sisters looked beautiful.

I know it isn't popular to not dump on ESPN, and I have never been a fan of the ESPYs, but in this case they probably got it right. As I understand the way the ESPYs work is they use the last complete season of each sport. Candace Parker won the finals MVP and finished in the top 5 voting for the regular season. I could have seen Nneka as well, but Parker is certainly a reasonable choice. As for comeback player, she only played half of the 2015 season, so coming back from that year to leading the Sparks to the championship is quite a comeback.
