Yeah, that's kinda funny. But also pretty s#!tty. Women's pro basketball isn't as good as men's pro basketball. But neither is men's college basketball. The women are outstanding athletes, play a good game, enjoy the admiration of many NBA stars including the late Kobe Bryant, and clearly know they have a fraction of the pay and audience without some dorm room pricks making fun of them.
Obviously WNBA isn't must see TV in the U.S., but it's interesting that a much less wealthy country like Russia is able to pay our women players four times as much as they earn in the U.S. If you want to know why LeBron James came up with his take on why Griner may not pine for America's warm embrace, watch this video.
