Wouldn't it be dope if the WNBA was fun to watch?

[PHamm]

they should add a multiball feature.
everytime a player hits a three they introduce another ball into the game. so two balls will be in play instead of one until one goes out of bounds.

WNBA players don’t know what two balls look like....




I’ll be here all week folks

If a muthafuka was smart... and had the bread.. he should really commercialized that Lingerie football league... cause that shyt is wayyyy better than the wnba. its the only women's sport thats as entertaining as a man sport... unless u like soccer.
that shyt should come on after the end of nfl season.
The nba should just scrap the wnba. unless they like wasting money.
if they scrap it, theres gonna be an influx of 6ft dykes walking that stroll
(I had to)

Women's track and field is dope too js

For so many reasons...

I really enjoyed the college games for women, the clutch shots wnba just doesnt give the excitement

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Lower the rim and the entertainment value would skyrocket

 

[Niggthaniel Essex]

I'm gonna say it. I know the PC watchdogs are gonna break through my door and take me away, but fukk it...

Here we go....*Clears throat*....men and women are physically different.

The men's game is faster and more exciting because the court and rims are damn near tailor made for 6'3 through 7'0 crazy athletic NBA cats. You just can't throw women on the same stage and expect the same results. There's nothing wrong with lowering the rim or making the court smaller...the players are much smaller on average than NBA players, so why not?

And it's not about "playing good fundamental basketball" nobody is paying money to just see some fundamental basketball. They wanna see some crazy dunks and shyt too. This business is still entertainment, and you have to cater to it.

Was watching the all star game and thought

“Man if these bytches was playing in thongs they break all type of records” nikkad would tune in for that shyt

Just play slender man.

 

[Barbados Slim]

actually they play basketball in its truest form

they dont have out of this world athleticism so they have to be fundamentally sound

but if basketball to you is dunks....cross-overs....and 30ft 3's.....then no....you wont like the wnba

No not to purists and people who play, but the average fan who watches the NBA is NOT necessarily someone who also plays and therefore they watch for more entertainment - dunks, crossovers and 30ft 3's!

This whole quote is the answer, plain and simple! And for those who make the argument that "you would have to change the rim at all levels, how could they adapt to the change from college to pro"....the same way players adapt to that 3 point line being further and further away from HS to College to Pro - you just learn to adapt, that's why you've made it to the PROS!

I think that if the WNBA was free and aired on network tv then more ppl would be interested

thats kinda what brought boxing back when they did that PBC network tv thing a few years ago

This makes sense. You're not making much money as is, get more eyes on the product and try and build up more fans/interest.

Naw this argument is lame. Folks love women's tennis, track, and all the olympic sports (swimming, diving, etc) just as much as the men's. The issue with women's basketball is that it's for whatever reason the 1 sport where even at the top levels most of the women actually LOOK unathletic/awkward compared to the men. I don't know what it is specifically but for the most part they simply don't look smooth/athletic when hooping. The few that do move like men (Maya Moore, Candace Parker) dominate. On top of that it's jarring when you watch a women's game after a men's game because everything just looks like more of a struggle. The gameplay itself is fundamentally sound but it's just not all that visually appealing to a lot of folks. I watch women's ball during the tourney or during the Finals when there's stakes and atmosphere but it's just not the same.

you missed the 'just as much as the men's' part didn't you. Yea read the whole statement before responding. Point is women's tennis gets more love then men's a lot of time. Women's track/swimming, etc the same. You got any other sports to compare?

purists?

99% of the cats in here ARE NOT purists....which is why cats wont deign to watch women's basketball

i read it....just disregarded it.

my point is that men...and in particular the men in here that shyt on the wnba dont/wont watch ANY women's sports...period

you and i both know that these cats couldnt name 5 women's tennis players not names williams....i wont even bother talking about track...because its the same....cats not watching it....they not even watching mens track

care to try again?

Women doing crazy dunks will never be something that will excite you. I promise you that. You’d be better off putting trampolines on the court like in Slamball
