The WNBA is 25 years old.
When the NBA was 25 years old, players weren’t making crazy money relative to the time.
As much as they may not like it, this era of WNBA players are the Russell, wilt, Jerry west era of their league. It’s always joked about how some of that era guys were milkmen and whatsoever in the offseason.
The WNBA is a young brand, that isn’t growing at the rate the NBA did but is nonetheless a growing brand. The NBA is an established brand with decades of history, league expansion, revenue building. It would be nice if the WNBA brand grew at the rate of a UFC but it’s not.
I personally like WNBA hoops. Catch games time to time. Keep up with the Connecticut Sun, but all basketball lovers aren’t obligated to be fans of the league. You’re going to get some, like myself and as more generations grow up with it more will help grow the league. But it’s a process.
