The Chicago Sky pulled off a great comeback to beat Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA finals. Candace Parker led her hometown to the WNBA championship as they won back-to-back games. This also marks Chicago’s first franchise championship and what better way to do so. However, while Phoenix Mercury lost, it was Chris Paul who took the heat.
After trailing for most of the game, Chicago shifted gears and made a great comeback late in the game. For the Mercury, Brittney Griner did her part in establishing a significant lead. However, Quigley put some important points for the Suns to pull off the miracle comeback. This marks Candace Parker’s second WNBA title, her first coming in 2016.
Chris Paul has been one of the biggest supporters of the WNBA. Moreover, he also has a sweet spot for Phoenix being his own NBA team as well. So when the Mercury couldn’t hold on to their nerves in Game 4, twitter gave Paul the heat.

Twitter hails Candace Parker
Paul became a major target of twitter as Chicago lifted the WNBA championship. The real troll that came to him was the fact Parker also wears the number 3. While she won her second title in the WNBA, Paul is yet to win one in the NBA. This became the major base for trolling CP3.
