The Aces set up a joke shrine to Candace Parker on her old locker to celebrate her retirement

OK, the crutch is a hilarious touch.

An all-time legend of the game, Candace Parker walked away from the WNBA as one of the greatest basketball players in history. She achieved virtually everything significant in her career and definitively left the game a better place for the next generation.

So of course her old Las Vegas Aces teammates were going to be sad about her departure. Kudos to them for showing a great sense of humor about it, too.

In a new video courtesy of Sydney Colson, the two-time defending champions have set up a joke shrine to Parker in her old locker. It’s set to emotional music and features various Aces players, such as A’ja Wilson and Alysha Clark, dropping off specific mementos about Parker, like a crutch and what appears to be wine.

It’s very well done and perfectly tongue-in-cheek:

Now that is one proper (and amusing!) way you say goodbye to an icon of the game.
