It's all about the profit margin.

That coffee analogy at 10:35 was spot on. Things can both be the same, and different at the same time!

4 years ago, when my son was in 8th grade his gold level AAU team played the local HS girls Varsity team who went to the state semi-finals here in California. They played half the quarters with the full sized ball and half with the women's ball. The 8th grade boys won the standard clock game 114 to 17. This includes the fact that the boys were no longer allowed to fast break after the first quarter. They also basically goofed around and loosened the D in the second half, where the girls scored nearly all of their 17 points.

I’m starting to feel like they’re actually stealing money, if anything.

When you are a self sufficient league, then you could start pushing for more pay.

I even have friends who like to tune in and watch NBA games all the way from Malawi over here; that's how popular it is

I tune into professional sports to see athletes do things I can’t do. I dunked for the first time at age 15. I played higher level basketball than the wnba. I have no real reason to watch subpar athletes unless it is my own kids in Junior high

I played some ball in High School; I remember a class and teammate in particular, his name is{was} Michael Silva. He had the height to dunk the ball but couldn't get the jump that he needed to do so. The coach saw Michael's potential and desire and desided to focus on his jumping. After a few months of very hard work on Michael's part, he finally Dunked the ball during an important game against an important high school rival. All of us who were there watching this perticular game were static! Michael Silva finally did what He wanted to do in a game, Dunk!!

In my opinion they should just make the three point line smaller like in the 90s, the wnba is similar to the late 70s and the slow and fundamental play style but without the physicality and dunks, the shortened line increases physicality a bit for less spacing forcing them out of the inside of the arc. Then they should prioritise perimeter ball movement more instead of mostly being inside the three line

The only reason that holds any logic for me, for wnba players to not want to lower the rim is for convenience of practice. They have a shorter 3 point line already, lowering the rim to 9 ft to allow for more dunks would fundamentally bring more entertainment which is what professional basketball is all about.

The WNBA is one commissioner away from not existing and I don't think anybody will notice

That championship parade with literally the guy recording the video the only one cheering reminds me of that Family guy bit about the WNBA 😅

End of the day, you're entertainers. Lower the hoop, make it bigger, use a smaller ball, NBA should just make the changes. If the players want to give up six figures and stay home, I'm sure you can find others that will be happy to take their places. The regular season (2023) runs 5/19-9/10. 16 weeks, 32 games, 100 grand. Nice summer job.

Jesus Christ. Why would an And1 fan like yourself even care? You arent going to watch it unless everyone else is right? Ha. Are you still watching And1 though? HA. Ya like dunks do ya? Clown.

This league is the living definition of unnecessary stubbornness to try and prove a point. They all try to make it seem like a lower rim would be some sexist disrespect, but none of them realize or admit that in every sport where physical size and body proportions are a serious part of the sport womens is shorter/closer/smaller. Shaq had a point about volleyball nets, but as a former male volleyball player the hight difference is closer to 6.5 or 7 inches, not .5 The height differences are present in everything from volleyball to track and field, from softball to golf. Its not sexist either, its scientific. Women on average will be shorter than men so the heights are adjusted for the differences. And what makes the argument even more illogical is they play with a smaller ball because they have smaller hands, they have a closer three point line to account for strength differences, so why not play on a lower rim to account for height differences?

Lower the rim for the NBA and watch the shooting percentages drop. These women have been playing with a regular height rim for years so you cant just lower in to get a few dunk highlights. Only idiots care about dunks anyway. ANd yeah - most NBA fans are %$%$ing idiots.

The reason why women don’t get paid the same percent is because you can’t look at percentages when you could have a negative somewhere. There was a growth of jobs in Wisconsin 50% of total National job growth for a certain year, but that was illogical because some states lost jobs. For example, you could’ve said that California had like 130% of job growth that year

It really infuriates me that adults can partake in such an inferior product, make more money than most Americans and still complain. I worked in sales for a few years - I laughed when it was payday and people would complain while dismissing the sales numbers that show you’re not in their league.

Shieee. I should identify as a woman so I can play in the WNBA & make over $120K for playing 32 games! The fact that they make that kinda money for a business that doesn't generate any income to cover the business is a miracle! They should be grateful that they're playing in the first place!

There’s this family guy skit that sums the wnba up pretty well

Wow. I had never seen that footage of a WNBA parade where they closed off the roads and no one is there to cheer. That is painfully uncomfortable.

Makes sense

Rafael Nadal was asked by a female journalist about why the ale tennis players get paid more than female tennis player. He answered female models get paid more than male models, doesn't that count? If the WNBA wants to be really honest with themselves, then they have to look at the standard of the players, they also have to acknowledge that hardly anyone is interested in women's sport, any sport. The exception being tennis. The only other time large numbers watch women's sport is the Olympics. Nobody cares about women's soccer, except for the world cup. Nobody cares about women's golf, nobody cares about women's basketball except for the Olympics.

Revenue sharing to match the NBA? OK. The NBA pays roughly 50-51% of the league revenue to players. So they get about 5 billion since the NBA generated a net profit of 10 billion last year. WNBA loses 10 million a year. So the players need to collectively cough up 5 million just to be allowed to have their own league while thanking the NBA for subsidizing the other 65 million to allow them to even set foot on an NBA court.

lol at 6 10 and cant dunk? i was almost able to in high school at 5'9"

when i was 30, 6'4 and weighed 310, in shape. i could dunk about half my attempt's. as for rim height, 6 inch's would not even ber noticed.

I don’t think dunks are particularly exciting, but I think lowering the rim makes sense to make their playing visually comparable to the NBA. Seen too many clips of their play just not looking near as polished. Theyre not as tall on average how does it not make sense to lower it?

Even if they could dunk, i dont think it will solve the problem. They dont move as fast, jump as high, and the way they move isnt the same. We already got spoiled by the nba, or men's basketball in general that we get to compare it. We watch the nba because they do what we cant do and it amazes us. But watching the wnba, players doing crab dribbles, ugly jumpers and lay ups. I will watch it on tv when nothing good is on sure. But will i pay to watch it?no.

@@theoneonly259 and? Just cuz they’ve trained doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. Should every new wnba player train to shoot on a 10ft just because the previous ones did?

The ball is smaller, the 3pt line is closer, I have no idea why there is such a hard line drawn at the rim height

The NBA should make them lower their hoop a half a foot and if they dont do it then pull back on their funding....

An under 15 boys team would absolutely crush these women. A top 12 and under boys team would probably still win. But hey men and women are physically the same, so go try out for an NBA team. Oh wait, wnba players should demand spots on NBA rosters and get the nba minimum.

As a volleyball player its insane how the rim in basketball is the same height for both genders.

Will the wnba shut down? We should be so lucky.

7:45 and this was during Boogie's prime during which he was averaging about 28/11/5 on 45% shooting.

They wont lower the rim, but theyre happy to play with a smaller ball? Its so dumb... lower the damn hoop.
