i do no longer, and that i will tell you why. because of the fact the NBA is a extensive funds making gadget, the league makes thousands and thousands extra effective than the WNBA. So the coach's and participant's salaries would be bigger. The WNBA continues to be relatively a small league and not almost as commonplace because of the fact the NBA. The wNBA does not have almost the endorsment bargains. If the franchises are not pulling interior the billions like the NBA is you will no longer be able to assume an analogous salaries, whether women human beings basketball gamers paintings as tense. i understand there are some great lady ball gamers accessible, and that they are going to in all likelihood gets a commission the multi-million greenback contracts as quickly as the league is commonplace adequate. on the NBA gamers: in terms of transforming into funds for enjoying a sport sure they are overpaid. i think of hearth warring parties and Paramedics might desire to make great funds like that. yet I additionally understand that once you study the NBA gamers alaries to what the gang proprietors (their boss relatively) make it extremely is chump replace. undergo in ideas that the gamers dictate how lots funds is delivered into the gang by capacity of how they play.

The answer is no and is shown by this...
Katie Smith is the all-time leading scorer in women's professional basketball. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, a two-time champion in the defunct ABL and a four-time WNBA all-star.
Smith is one of the best players in the WNBA and makes nearly $90,000 for the four-month season. Respectable, for sure,
but In the nba where the average salary is $3.7 million, A midseason pickup will make about $50,000 on a 10-day contract — roughly the average WNBA salary.
In the WNBA, regardless of how long and well you play, basketball will not pay for your future.
So basically playing for 10 days in the NBA is equivalent in monetary terms to a lifetime of play in the WNBA

I dont think so.. theyre not as popular and they dont get much publicity. NBA players also do ads, etc. but no one really is infatuated with the WNBA players, sadly..

No way. Besides its not that they are any worse player. It's just that people aren't as willing to shell out as much money to watch them.
