Caitlyn Clark's game had more TV viewers than any NBA game this season on ESPN

They said to trade Killian Hayes for her

All the proves is the lack of cacs is the reason for the NBA ratings' problem.

If Luka and Jokic were both White Americans like this broad there would suddenly be a ratings boom.

Pay disparity between NBA, WNBA is a numbers game

Even though both leagues play the same sport, when it comes to revenue and profits, they have little in common

Apr 7, 2021 · NBA commissioner Adam Silver reports that the WNBA has lost an average of $10 million every year it has existed,

Don’t understand that point. Why won’t they sell it then?

Hip hop culture has also damaged the ‘NBA’s ratings and image with Cac America

$10 million a year is literally nothing for the NBA's bottom line. Paying David Bertans alone costs double that. So it's not like it hurts then at all.

They run the WNBA for postive publicity and betting that women's basketball will be profitable eventually.

Exactly my point, that’s why in a previous post, I said it’s not all about profit/loss

Blaming cacs instead of the bland product is the problem

No it isnt. College is bigger than the WNBA. Once this is over, no one cares. We've seen this many times before. First it was Holdsclaw, then Taurasi, then Dell Donne etc. It only matters in college.


Paige Bueckers makes more from NIL than the majority of star WNBA players

IDK breh this feels different. This is the first time where I’ve felt more star power in the women’s game and been compelled to watch a women’s title game like this. shyt my 11 year old knows both Angel & Caitlyn and she doesn’t care about sports at all. Caitlyn is a star and has a modern style game + she’s marketable. I think this is a big moment for the future of women’s ball where you have marketable stars that people want to see. It’s funny that the women’s college game has consistently more star power than the men’s college game now

The only reason is because women stay for 4 years

I go to this watering hole where the bar owner REFUSES to play any NBA games if anything else sports related is on. Dude will show poker over the NBA. It's disgusting.

True.

Jordan stans shyt talk Bron but MJ's resume is such that you can say MJ > Bron without blinking.

Loved watching Kobe but he's not in the same tier as Bron. Yeah it's the very tippy top of the mountain but even up there we got layers.

MJ/Wilt/Kareem/Magic/Bron....you could throw in Russell because he was so successful plus his work with regard to Civil Rights. That's probably the top, top tier.

Kobe is in the next row down with Curry, Bird, Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan etc.

MJ stans are disgusting

Maybe you need to go to better places then.

The star power in the women's game missing from the men's game is a direct effect of the WNBA for women not being a serious step up financially like the NBA is for men.

If it were, they'd have the same problem with 1 and dones and players leaving early in general to chase the big checks.
