In reading "The Selling of Candace Parker," people may wonder why Alison Glock felt the need to open the article this way:

"Candace Parker is beautiful. Breathtaking, really, with flawless skin, endless legs and a C cup she is proud of but never flaunts."

Well, not to worry. I've been made to understand that next week's cover is LeBron, and Bill Simmons' article opens:

"Lebron James is handsome. Breathtaking, really, with flawless skin, endless legs and a medium jock strap he is proud of but never flaunts."

Guess it's just a tit for tat world....
