this literally proves Shaq right, if they lowered the rim in the WNBA they could dunk more... making the game more exciting
And make the court smaller
I agree! Granted, it's not fix it all medicine, but it would make a big difference.
@@Porthos240 like Shaq said, it would make the game a lot more interesting, open up a lot more strategy!!! It is interesting to think about, I think they should try it for a few games and see if the players like it.
I still wouldn't be able to watch it, since I honestly believe that major sports are scripted.
Look at the NFL, whenever a team gets a new stadium they go to the superbowl ( most of the time they win it ) within the next few years after the stadium is built
@@Porthos240 lets just hope they don't start letting those wanna be women out there and destroy another thing with this movement
@@bobshagit-io8lq headache to even imagine it.
I can honestly say that I've never been to the WNBA website. It didn't even occur to me that one existed, even though logically it should.
I feel the same way.
Seriously, when it got to that part I said to myself "oh yeah, I guess they would have a website." Then I was surprised that they actually got as much monthly traffic as they did.
Most Americans haven't heard of WNBA website
They have an Apple IIc DOS processor to handle all their website traffic. One day they had four clicks, and it was all hands on deck in the IT department.
I dont believe those Web Traffic stats for one second its the easiest & most convenient thing to manipulate.
You didnt have to do us suns fans like this man 💀
We’ll win won this coming season
How about the Lynx Vs the Timberwolves? (My teams?) 😂
the suns do it to themselves.
devin booker like the 2nd best shooter man dw
what? saying a fact?
My guess is that the WNBA has a higher FT% because you have to be a good shooter since no one is athletic or tall enough to play above the rim so there are less horrible free throw shooters dragging the average down.
Height also negatively correlates with shooting percentages.
Although strangely. The WNBA has slightly lower 3p% each year compared to the NBA, despite the 3pt line being closer.
Also free throws are largely dependent on pressure, and the pressure is most likely a lot less in the wnba with less people watching, less crowd noise, etc.
@@kevdesWe already ran that experiment thought. It was a couple years ago that the NBA played without a crowd and the free throw percentage during those games was still lower, then just about every WNBA season.
@@DoubleTTB22
Not really a total experiment, it was a forced change up entirely.
Not that I think the difference would be significant, if it exists at all, but that’s NOT just an experiment that the League conducted
Nah it's cus the balls are smaller and they use the same sized rims, literally common sense, don't have to make all this up
The dunk stats were really interesting. With the giant lift in three point attempts, it's amazing to see the dunk growth.
Yeah I agree its really interesting, probably due to the floor being more spaced out and the paint less congested resulting in paint shots being less contested.
you cant connect the dots?
More 3s make it easier to dunk
More shots around the 3 point line and rim. Because the midrange isn't shot nearly as much anymore as it is less efficient
more 3s, less deep midrange shots. Corner 3s and dunks is effecient. if youre gonna gamble on a shot might as well go for the extra point. otherwise you should go for the 100% guaranteed make in a dunk. Thats the most simplified way of explaining it. But its sad to see the death of the mid range/deep post up.
The last part is particularly striking. I feel like that says a lot about the state of the WNBA that women don't really care for it.
and yet they're using the WNBA as an argument point to attack male athletes.
My mother right hand to God says it's boring.. My mother watches Sports heavily and can't watch the WNBA..
Women have never given a shit about the WNBA. The only thing striking is women criticize men for not supporting the WNBA when men are the main ones supporting the WNBA.
Which is why it's hilarious how women consistently blame and berate men for the WNBA's lack of revenue compared to the NBA, when in reality, we actually contribute more to it than women do
It’s an entertainment product at the end of the day. They can’t force people to be entertained.
Wnba is the most ungrateful organization in history of organizations. Imagine a business model complaing year after year while losing money in entire existence
To be fair, I think most of the org are very thankful for the opportunity and understanding of the situation. It's like mostly brittney griner i swear
@@ElmoRitterits not just her, its the top players every year think they deserve the same pay as top males, because they are “on the same level”
You see it in all sports, the women soccer team want to have more pay then the US Males team. Because messi was paid so much.
Yup equal pay for equal work I wish

Missed some good ones. That game Brit dunked twice was her debut. Also shoulda mentioned how she has 20 of those 33 dunks
One of the funniest videos I have ever seen is when she was doing a TV interview and on camera, she tired to dunk several times and failed miserably.
but is Brittany even truly a woman? no mammory glands, has a voice almoast as deep as james earl jones.
@@Johnadams20760If hes a guy, he kinda sucks then. But if shes a woman, her achievements are impressive!
1. The clip shows “dunks twice on debut”.
2. Literally look at the chart.
Dunno why you need things to be said explicitly
what that stat shows is how little effort they put into physical training, dunking isn't THAT hard, but it does require exercise and conditioning, and they then complain how they aren't earning enough, the hypocrisy is just unreal...
Dang the WNBA finally has more dunks then Steph Curry 😂
cuz steph is a shooter
@@carlegianexactly
the craziest thing is that he's close. Close enough to have more next year
😂😂😂
@@carlegianWow you hit a layup with that one .
Can someone explain how Brittney Griner is 6'10 with a 7 foot and struggles to dunk on a 10 foot rim? She doesn't even need to have a 24in vert to get her arm over the hoop
Explanation, she's a female.
Stoned?
My best guess is women tend to have lower strength then men this also includes leg strength with is vital for jumping & with a slower run speed (because women have wider hips which makes them run slower then males) its no wonder the women have a hard time jumping 10ft.
Both the NBA & the WNBA rims are 10ft high. That's just too high for most women to dunk, men with greater leg strength, faster movement (and higher stamina because men have bigger lungs & hearts by 60% allowing the blood to flow through the body faster) men can jump higher then women because of biological advantages (hence the whole trans athletics in women sports being hotly debated).
IMO the rim should be dropped to 8ft - 8.5ft for the WNBA games, this will allow easier layups & dunking (also more consistent shot making as well) which will raise the skill floor & ceiling for the women's game & bring in more viewers.
She's untalented
@@amadhatter3280 LOL
Until 2022 Steph Curry alone had more dunks in his career than the history of the WNBA.

1:00 - Ok... The total dunks number for the women was so low... But then you realise it even includes all star game dunks 🤦♂
Before 2022 Curry alone had more dunks than the entire WNBA
Dafuq
The ball size makes a bigger difference for shots than it seems, which explains the FT percentage. Just recently, I saw some WNBA player got 37/40 pts on the 3 pt contest, missing only 2 shots. The men's record by Steph is 31/40.
also the 3pt line in the wnba is shorter, the rim is shorter and the ball is smaller
Yes, smaller ball same size rim, so it's easier to make shots, they also have a shorter 3 point line. I don't get the reluctance when it comes to lowering the rim as well in the WNBA
If they want to call it basketball, they have to lower the rims,
@@foryousten they have to make the rim to basketball size ratio the same as well as the same 3 point line because equality!
@@BG-it7hb what's funny is that the argument against lowering the rim is that they can do what a man can do... yet their 3pt line is closer, playing with a smaller ball, and normal sized rim. boy ain't no way
Women: WNBA NEEDS EQUAL PAY!
Also Women: Doesn't watch wnba let alone go to wnba games.
Thanks Bill
Women have always been great at identifying a problem and demanding that someone else fix it.
@@palaceofwisdom9448its not even a problem
I found the math breakdown really interesting. I’m taking it on face value that the figures he uses are correct (I don’t care enough to check it, honestly). Proves that the raw dollars are not the appropriate litmus test for the so-called disparity between men’s and women’s sports. I mean, there is a disparity, it’s just not the one that anyone wants to hear. This video suggests women make 88% more than men when calculated as a percentage of salary to league revenue.
@@528Circle It's called gynocentrism, where whatever benefits women is rationalized. Another glaring example is making men pay more for auto insurance because they get into more major crashes, yet having everyone pay the same for health insurance despite women costing much more than men. Point it out and you'll be dismissed as a misogynist.
I blame FT percentage on Andre Drummond
And Steven adams
and shaq ofc
And Andre Robersson, and Ben Wallace!

They also have less teams.
"Women's basketball is largely supported by older men who like fundamental basketball and then ask for the player's name before they take their laptop into the bathroom."
Nah most don't even look that good however older men watching volleyball probably does fit that description.

*"For scientific purpose of course"*
Lets go with the theory that they're actually their Dads instead.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WHAT?!??! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
WNBA seasons are shorter, which on top of differences also skewes results.
Good. That means less money is also being lost. 🤣
No one watches the wnba anyway 😂
And the quarters are shorter
Don't get why they can't just adopt The NBAs style of play (82 game season, 12 min quarters, best of 7 throughout the entire playoffs, etc.)
@@antonioemile1659if I’m not mistaken, there aren’t as many WNBA teams than the NBA.
Here’s a fun fact about the WNBA: there have been over 11,000 games played since the league was formed. Almost 3% of those, or 336 games, have had a team score more than 100 points.
I mean sure, but the NBA didn't start regularly scoring over 100 until the 2000s. I grew up watching 90s basketball where it was far more common to see a score like 94-86. 100+ point games definitely happened but both teams getting 100+ was pretty rare. I'd actually be interested to see what percentage of all NBA games since being formed were 100+, the 1940s-1980s would really drag the overall average down despite the last 20 years of 100+ being so common. I'd venture it's not too far off from the WNBAs 3%.
Yea that’s gonna happen when they play less minutes a game, genius.
Still tho 11000 is a lot of games genius
Their games are 8 minutes shorter. Of course they are not going to score as much.
You forgot one important one: only about 50 million Americans think the NBA is awesome, whereas a whopping 334 million Americans think the WNBA sucks
Why count only the current population of America? Why not all Americans since America's founding? Or all humans over the past 300,000 years? Or, better still, the eleventy zillion sentient aliens throughout the Galactic Commonwealth? Cuz anybody who's never watched an WNBA game anywhere, by definition, thinks the WNBA sucks.
I'm not sure a statistician would agree with the above formulation. But it's an effective rhetorical technique for making sure others know you dislike something.
😅😅😅
this was nab vs wnba facts that sound FAKE
I think it's fascinating that the reason older men like the WNBA is supposedly because it resembles classical NBA in its gameplay. It makes perfect sense, I just never would've thought of that.
So it makes them remember prehistoric times 😂
WNBA is a joke...I'd rather watch high school boys play...way more entertaining
I doubt that's true. You'd have to go back to the early 1950's to see play remotely like the WNBA.
I'll give you one stat better; women ballers in Europe are PAID MORE. Why is that? Cuz Euroball puts way more emphasis on raw skill over athleticism, kinda similar to... the WNBA! That means a much larger audience wanting to watch them play. Look at the two best Euroballers in the NBA, Jokic and Doncic. They look like overgrown YMCA players, but are two of the most highly skilled players in the world.
WNBA could do a lot of good for themselves if they recruited way more ATHLETES to play basketball. There are plenty of athletic women in MMA and Track & Field; put a basketball in their hands.
Please, they’re ogling…
So the WNBA's biggest fans are the ones that miss offense running through the bigs and old fashion Princeton offenses.
Nah bro it’s just a bunch of old perverts
@@Airhead2099 i feel like they could fin a better sport like volleyball have u seen these ladies, i think it is as op said
WNBA fans are old schoolers who wanna see ball movement, team play and fundamentals. They consider NBA to be flashy streetball

@Frikgeek WNBA games are on U.S. tv channels. Euroleague isn't.
0:17 He's not just the shortest player to dunk, he WON the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
I remember growing up watching the Goin To Work Pistons in the early 2000s and actually being interested in the Detroit Shock too because they were also solid back then. Then they relocated and I lost all interest in that league.
Bro literally the same thing here! I live in metro Detroit and I remember going to a few Shock games and I remember when they won the title the year before the Pistons in 03. When they moved to Tulsa I was so hurt. I didn’t watch women’s basketball again until Maya Moore, Skylar Diggins, and Brittney Griner were having their runs in college.
Same with the Spurs. I went to two Stars games. Then they went to Vegas
The WNBA rim should be 4-6in shorter and the backboard should be moved 6-12in further towards center court so that baseline play is better facilitated. These two changes would GREATLY increase the dynamism, creative potential and sophistication of the women's game.
But their is no biological difference between men and women, it's a social construct remember? That's what the lefties say, and so does Britney.
4-6in is a lot
@@mercetajs Have you seen the delta on NBA-WNBA dunks? I'd describe that as much more than "a lot".
@@mercetajsthats what she said
I think as an experiment to prove their point they should RAISE the rim for the mens game (for some test games, nothing official) to prove that the height isn't some sacred number but what happens to work for a cohort of a given average height and might not work for another cohort.
At first when you started talking about the freethrow percentage i was stunned... but then you said the ball is smaller, lighter and the hoop size is the same as in nba.. lmao
Also, one of the comments mentioned that the crowds are smaller and less rabid in comparison to the NBA (no hecklers, nothin but old white folk and the odd aspiring little girl hooper) which adds less pressure to the free thrower lol.
@@leetorry Also being shorter makes it way way easier to shoot especially free throws, you can probably find multiple guys at your local ymca having a better FT percentage than the average nba player.
@@leetorryMan you nailed it! Let them get that hostile crowd and watch them miss shots like it's going out of style..

For the first fact Muggsy Bogues is actually the shortest to dunk because it is reported that he dunked during a warm up before a game(muggsy is 5foot 3)
Doesn't count. If not done during a game, it's meaningless.
@@gwouru they said the shortest to dunk in general, I wouldn’t have commented if he said in a game.
@@gwouru Muggy never stated why he never dunked in a real match but admits he can dunk with no problem.
@@devoetedSure... In practice, with nobody opposing him, pretty easy to claim that when you've done it. Not so easy to do it, against people who have about two feet on you.
@@gwouru good point
If the ball is smaller, they might as well shorten the rim😭😭😭I'd watch that

Dude.. her kicking the money to burn it, then the dance after.. some of the greatest sh- ever 🤣
I'm pretty sure Spud Webb has more dunks in his career than the WNBA has all-time. I don't know how many he had, but considering he won the '86 Dunk Contest, it was clearly more than 33.
Sue kicking money, it catches on fire and she dances is so funny

To defend them just a little bit, in a perfect world they would be. We don’t live in a perfect world. The old saying “the world doesn’t revolve around money.” Yes it does!
@@bencarter8423In a perfect world, they wouldn't. They would get paid proportion to their skill level and athleticism
@@bencarter8423 that's like saying, in a perfect world, the infomercial actors deserve to get paid the same as A list movie stars.
@@yourenotfunnybot What I’m saying is in a perfect world women would be just as athletic as men. They’re not because of science.
I'm guessing that team is based out of Seattle.
The men's NBA averages about 3 dunks a game. So on a night where most of the league plays (there can be up to 15 games), it's possible there can be more dunks on one night in the NBA that there has been in the whole history of the WNBA. And it probably happens at least once a week.
I feel like there is way more than 3 dunks a night
The Diana Taurasi vs Wilt comparison needs some context
- Diana Taurasi made 9 858 points in 515 games played (nuancing the 19+ seasons argument)
- Diana did this in 7 264 field goal attempts, Wilt's first 10k points needed 8 135 points
- Diana played in those 515 games 15 913 minutes, Wilt 13 548 minutes (per 36 minutes you'll get Diana 22.3 PTS and Wilt 26.6 PTS)
- Diana 58.3 TS % vs Wilt 51.9 TS %
and Diana plays against unathletic players, who are 6'11 and can barely dunk, while Wilt played against the most athletic athletes in the world
I've NEVER heard anyone gas up Wilt's competition outside of Bill Russell...you good?
@@ajanalysis7742 They are playing against levels of athleticism that match their own. Or do you think she could outjump Wilt or something?
If you're going to give context then give full context or don't bring it up. For example, nearly 4k of Taurasi's points came by 3pt shots made. 0 of Wilt's points were 3pt shots made. So that would bring her point total down to around 6,000 for the same amount of shots. Nothing nuanced about the assertion; Wilt was a more dominate scorer.
Homie forgot to factor in the 3pts made
Yo this is gold, thank you for this.
They’ve only had 33 dunks? 😂😂 damn Rudy Gobert had a single game with like 26-27 dunks 😂
As Shaq has suggested, lower the rim just an inch or two to allow for more dunks.
an inch or two? that won't make a noticeable difference, and even if they lowered it 6" and there were more dunks it might increase the viewership but it won't be enough to make it very profitable, they will still need that "alimony" from the NBA.
Diana has only played 500 games, and the games are 83% as long, so about 427 games. Not bad
I appreciate that this wasn’t just needlessly dunking on the WNBA. It’s fun to watch, deserves more credit.
It's still more dunking than the WNBA does.

I learned all I need to know about the wnba from Bill Burr.
I remember reading a forrum thread about who could win: a tean of the best local Filipinos in the Philippine Basketball Association or a team of the best WNBA players. The answer was a unanimous "It will be a tough match up, either can win." This was in a Pinoyexhange a now defunct and old forum site used predominantly by Filipinos.
I always thought it was funny knowing how infamous Filipino basketball is in internet basketball discussions due to their low quality even within Asia inspite of its rabid fanbase and being the first Sdian nations to fully give in to Basketball.
I like how the animation keeps showing the girl kicking money away lol
You didn’t have to do my Phoenix Suns like that
Suns would crush the mercury
The NFL changed the rules of football to increase ratings. They changed the NFL from a defensive game to offence focused game. IMO the WNBA needs to do the same. Reduce the size of the court and lower the hoop. People will watch if the games are more exciting.
🤔 I'm not a fan of reducing anything. It'll make people(men mostly) underate women achievement
@@GodOfFools bruh
@@RealElevenTimes whaaat
@@GodOfFoolsno one is watching, and most people only look at stats. Plus you are the sexist that you are accusing others of being
@@GodOfFools With all due respect, changes need to be made. Sports is entertainment. The league isn't making money because the game's are not entertaining. This isn't a problem with Men. The WNBA currently isn't interesting to Women or Men. That could change if they follow the NFL's example and change the rules to increase the offense.
I've made one dunk...in my whole life. Accidentally jumped too high in training. I tried to repeat it 10 times right away... nope.
If the WNBA lowered the rim they would make 10x more money
Have you seen their dunk contest? Lowering the rim wouldn’t add _that much_ excitement.

Candace Parker got mad when shaq suggested lowering the rim yet they play with a smaller ball 🏀 🤣
The free throw percentage has everything to do with how big nba players hands are, it's hard for bigger folks to comfortably palm the ball and they're usually the ones who get lots of free throw fouls.
I'm honestly surprised more big dudes don't try underhand free throws.
@@danieldawson8018 I can only think of one reason. looks cringe af that's all, but tbf who cares if it does. I dont think anyone would shame Shaq if he'd try it back in the day
No, it has everything to do with the ball being smaller and the rim being the same size.
"Nice" lmao
Reminds me of that one quote from Futurama on the Amazon planet "we no can dunk but good fundamentals"
So they are willing to play with a smaller ball and a closer 3 point line but won’t lower the rim? Hmm. Ego is a hell of a drug.

They really need to do something about the dunks. Either start allowing actual defense again or raise the basket to 12'.

Huh, those revenue stats were really surprising to me! Also, it's a shame more women don't follow the WNBA.

Maybe we should lower the rim? "HOW DARE YOU INSULT US!"
0:32 as someone who lives in Phoenix I'm happy but I'm more sad
Wait... so the ball is smaller. That's excepted.... but they won't lower the rim?
In fairness, a lower rim is pretty noticeable whereas less than an inch difference in the ball is only something you could see if you were told. Their logic is probably optics-based, but that's still dumb.
@verde7595 I feel it's all relative, man. It's pride more than anything. Proud of what, idk.
This felt more like a math lesson than facts about the WNBA
Statistics is math
@@alecbaldwinsnotpropgunNo, math is math, basketball is basketball
one time my me and my freind were playing basketball with a smaller ball and he could palm it once he realised he said "oh crap i can palm this must be a wnba ball" we died laughing"
I remember the VS network.
Good use of their logo.
I saw something that said, in the history of the WNBA, a player achieving a triple double in a game has only happened 25 times.
Just like what shaq said they need to lower the rim
There's an argument to made that WNBA rim should be 9" lower to accommodate for size/strength differences. That's the difference in height between Men's and Women's Hurdles.
Was there a rule change sometime around 2016 - 2017? Dunks go through the roof after that.
Fun Fact:This is (likely) the first NBA finals where the last 3 nba champions were eliminated
I don’t think that’s right
Suns Bucks
@@bmoka8164Suns never won. It’s was the Warriors, Bucks, and Lakers
Well done, sir
Actually, it's also true for 1957. The Celtics and Hawks were in the finals and the previous 3 NBA champions had been the Warriors, Nationals and Lakers, all of whom were eliminated in that year's playoffs.
And if you consider the fact that the NBA consisted of only EIGHT teams back then, it was infinitely more improbable to happen!
Sort-of-fun fact: 1957 was also the first time that such a thing COULD happen, since it was the first time that there had been three different champions in the three previous years. The next time was one year later in 1958 and after that again in 1972. It was a regular occurrence in the 70s, super rare in the 80s and 90s (I think it was possible only once during the two decades), and relatively regular from 2001 onward.
2011? Lakers, Celtics, Spurs were all eliminated. I feel like this happens a lot
2:03 hey, look, Bill Burr was right. Women don't give a shit about their own leagues, except when they're yelling about the women players not making the same amount of money as the men. Funny how that works.
“70.69, nice”💀 2:31
I enjoyed the fact that this video was informative and unbiased. Usually a video like this just shits on the WNBA and roasts women for not being able to dunk lmao
3:06 Equal pay protesters are just gonna ignore that little bit of logic
Why can we not just cancel that league ? 👀
Fitting that the highlight of a WNBA video is yet another unbelievable Wilt stat
2:31 nice 😅
Britney Griner is 6’8 so I think it’s pathetic that she can barely even dunk. At this point the wnba should lower the hoop to 9 feet.
Or 9.5 atleast
@@Zblactookyohat8
9 foot 8-10 should be good
Brittney Griner needs only about a 8" vertical to dunk and she can only even manage to do it a couple times a season. The entire WNBA has lost double digits of $millions literally every year they've been in existence and the ONLY reason they get an income at all is because the NBA just gives them money as a charity case so they can exist. The fact that the players constantly complain about their salary is a joke.
As mentioned in the last point, I also find women’s pro sports to be more tactical and chess-like compared to men’s sports.
Meanwhile I cant even dunk 😂😂
No offense to the WNBA but they should lower the rims, it worked with women’s volleyball where the net is lowered, same should go for the rims just my opinion tho
Candace Parker got offended at Shaq when he suggested that
“ older men, who for whatever reason, just like the fundamentals of basketball” lmfao
Same thing for women's soccer, has never turned a profit, has operated at a loss since inception and generates about the same amount as the WNBA.
How about this one. A current WNBA player currently holds the NCAA (both men and women) record for most all time triple doubles.
Sabrina Ionescu!
@@everythingcollectibles yup, she also hold the Pac 12 all time assists record, once held by Gary Payton.
Yea, but she did it against college women
@@1Plebeian as a woman. So...?
@@1Plebeian that may not get through to you so let's put it like this. If a boxer that is a fly weight goes 32-0 with 32 by first round knockout, would you slightly him because he is a fly weight?
Taking the emotion out and using science. I like it. Thanks for doing this.
I think you mean math?
@@Onlinerando Math and statistics are used in science. I enjoyed it either way.
@@kenmcnutt2right, but math being used in science doesn’t make it science, it’s still math.
@@Onlinerando people either like both or neither. They are kind of the same.
Math is a type of science. I was being general. You were more specific. We are both right.
Watching the WNBA for fundamental basketball is really interesting because as exciting as the NBA can be, the better the players get, the less it feels like real basketball. When people are capable of consistently making shots from far beyond the 3 point like or running up and dunking the ball on 3 defenders, the less it feels like real basketball that you or I play. The WNBA is more realistic, more human, in that it's just people who love the game and are really good at it, rather than monsters/gods that came up/down from hell/heaven to slam a ball in a hoop.
This once again proves that women should not be arguing for the same wages for WNBA and NBA players, talking about "patriarchy" and "male privilege", and then not supporting the product they are fighting for.
Imagine if they made pro softball players play on MLB fields. There would never be any home runs.
Lower the damn hoop.
33 dunks in 26 years ….let that soak in for a bit 😂
Some people care more about the game as a whole than they do about how many times someone jumped and touched the rim. Its cool that you don't, but some do.
In 1:18 am curious about the reason the dips in 07 and 15, anyone know why?
I think they should lower the rim and make the three-point line college in the WNBA. The game would be much funner to watch.
Do people not understand women's and men's bodies are completely different? A 6ft women who is an athlete is waaaaay different from a 6ft man who is an athlete. And that perfectly fine thats why the leagues are separated. Men and Women can be great. We should not be comparing athletics between the two.
Exactly. This comment section shows the Idiocracy of most people!
Well those men are missing out in bigger contracts because some the money they earn is being sent to wnba player salaries.
Say that to those women who keep shouting "eQuAl PaY" mindlessly while never once thinking about watching WNBA. They have been sh*tting on male players and men watching sports for so long. Ppl with a brain don't need ur explanation on that - they know it already.
@@thecaptain9212f you are actually concerned about NBA players missing out on a bunch of money because of the WNBA, don’t be. There is no reliable data other then old articles citing 12M a year that goes to the WNBA from the NBA.
So if that weren’t sent to the WNBA, then per the NBA CBA about half that would go to the players. So 6M divided among 450 players, meaning every player would get a raise of $13,333 per year.
But like I said, those numbers are really old. It’s unclear if the NBA actually sends out that kind of direct payment anymore.
