Former WNBA star and current TNT Sports analyst/commentator Candace Parker believes WNBA players should have given a greater effort in the All-Star Game, especially after they wore "Pay Us What You Owe Us" shirts amid their ongoing negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement (h/t <a href=" West of The Athletic).

WNBA legend Candace Parker wasn’t impressed with the players’ performances in this month’s All-Star Game after they wore shirts during pregame warm-ups that said “Pay Us What You Owe Us,” to reflect their desire for higher salaries in the new collective bargaining agreement.

The WNBA made waves during All-Star Weekend when the players took the floor ahead of the July 19 game wearing shirts that read, "Pay Us What You Owe Us." It was a loud message sent to the league in reference to the ongoing collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
