The article's headline says 'graduating early', but she's been at Tennessee for 4 years and will have her degree. Bypassing a fifth year of college eligibility when you'll have already graduated isn't something I'd categorize as leaving college "early".

Candace Parker is the player that won the high school dunk contest, competing against boys, in the spring of 2004.

There must have been some very poor leapers when she won the dunk contest because she can barely get over the rim on her dunks. I also wonder if she used the women's basketball or the men's. Not taking anything away from her, she is a good women's basketball player.

the fact that she was a girl and could at least touch the rim got her enough points to win. the guys missed a lot of dunks if I remember correctly. she just basically jumped up and got it over and the judges went nuts for some reason.
