1. The WNBA is essentially the child of the NBA, they already use millions to keep the league afloat no differently than they do the G League or NBA Africa. 2. The NBA is making a ton of money, it’s some trolls on here who always point to the NFL having higher ratings and trying to outwardly claim the NBA and its teams are struggling but that’s not the case. They’re about to sign a massive TV rights deal for 2025, it’s more than enough money sitting around to break the WNBA players & G League players off with a cut of that to boost their salaries. They’re not gonna get $20/Yr but $500K-$1 Million a year as a salary for the elite players is beyond feasible in the future. They wouldn’t have to play overseas. | |

But on another hand people don’t like the idea of these WNBA players constantly asking for “handouts”. There are some people who choose to see this situation as someone like Kelsey Plum asking the NBA to give her $1 Million of KD’s NBA salary for simply playing basketball in a league “nobody wants to watch”. While others realize the constructs for how the WNBA is operated and its place in American society, prevents All Time great womens players from ever being compensated like a superstar in their sport. The same constructs exist in the NBA where we know LeBron and Curry are probably worth $100 million per year if the salary cap didn’t exist, but we feel $40-50 Million is good enough compensation. WNBA players not that “lucky”. | |

I remeber when kyrie had to pay their salaries during covid.
2k started adding the the wnba What they need to do is reach out to some rappers preferably female rappers. Male rappers would work also. Rappers have been making whatever cool since the beginning. You always hear male rappers with nba bars. Women gotta branch out to their hoopin sisters. Look, my sister is 23. I asked her & her friends if she cared about the WNBA. They said yeah in aspect of showing love to womens sports. But no she dosent watch & dosent care to watch a bunch of women. They rather look at tall in shape hoopers. She also said mens pro hooping is just way more exciting. So thats 1 perspective thats probably shared by millions of other women. Last edited by Mike T; 11-29-2022 at 04:24 PM.. |

for a league thats incapable of surviving without the nba they sure do come off as ungrateful. the nba don't need no fu*kin wnba its the other way around. stop pocket watching and comparing conditions cause you aint them. the nba named its 75 greatest players cause it was celebrating its 75th year, they didn't get where they are overnight. them girls need to keep building their brand up and realize they got a looooong way to go. cats like elgin baylor and oscar robertson didn't make big money but they paved the way for the cats today. they gotta understand they elgin and oscar right now going through it for girls in the future to have it good , their league just aint poppin like that right now build your brand up
