      Think, as a warriors fan, that's EVERY GAME FOR ME. Life is gonna be so awesome for Indiana fever fans. My warriors have had over a decade of Steph, they're getting over a decade of Caitlin. She's the only person I've ever seen get close to what Steph does, man or woman. Trae Young could never. She's an absolute freak of nature

    Women’s basketball has what the men’s game has been missing for a few seasons it’s STARS!!!! That’s what brings the fans to tune into the game

    • @Weaponator18
      @Weaponator18 5 місяців тому +6

      Yup, in the men's game, every single player with a semblance of talent leaves way too early and that doesn't enable the fans to grab onto the team and the sport fully. The players obviously have every right to do what's best for themselves financially; though the reality is that it hurts the sport by diminishing the overall investment level from fans.
      It'll be interesting to see if this holds true as the women's game gets bigger and more popular. The women's game doesn't yet have (comparatively) large sums of money attached to it yet; so players like Clark and JuJu have to stay in school for a minimum of 3 years to build themselves; and everyone wins when that happens.

    Mina, if Iowa loses on Friday, the final will lose half its' audience. And, the women's game can't afford to be known for its' coaches yet. You need stars. You have one right now. If she loses to Ucon, you'll find out quickly, just how right I am.

      The WNBA has notoriously fumbled the ball on promoting. Heck I don't even have to look far. I watch the Yes Network almost on rotation and I didn't know Stewie was going to the Liberty until a week before the season started. Stewie is a HOF player and she's not even 30 and had the same amount of hype of Caitlin coming out of college.
