Anyway I've seen a kid who has Clark's range from three but also has great shot creation and ball handling skills even at just 15 years old. She already has 20 plus college offers on the table too. Her name is Kaleena Smith. Incredible talent and I hope she gets to go against Juju before she leaves for the wnba.

BTW someone should start a womens basketball thread for those of us who will start watching it now .

And I bet she's white since you brought her up!

And he mocked this random woman in his column for being excited about her team. It was gross.

So **** Gregg Doyell. Even though it might not have been him. He's a douche either way.

Both those guys are idiots, so you're good either way.

WNBA brings in like $200 million in annual revenue. So she’s getting fair market value in her league.

For a comparison, Major League Soccer generates $2 BILLION in annual revenue.

She could always try out for an NBA team.

They do… the WNBA has yet to generate a profit in the nearly 30 year existence of the league.

The NBA covers their operating losses.

Yes, the “evil” “toxic masculinity” of the NBA continues to make it possible for the WNBA to even exist.

There’s some lesbian sports bar in Portland that only shows women’s sporting events. At least they’re leading by example. I couldn’t get my wife to watch a WNBA game for anything. She will willingly watch the Royals. Never seen her tune in for a softball game.

I have watched a few games. They are boring, slow and no excitement. I almost think it is the wnba itself. The girls were more exciting in college.

Maybe the wnba should purge the old heads. Who also seems to be not liking the status Clark and Reese are getting.

Will be interesting to see how bad she gets fouled by some of them.

And what about most of the support and hype? Does her being white have nothing to do with that?

the WNBA does not have the cash flow to do more.
She deserves the 20 million. Truthfully, I hope her shoe starts as a womens shoe and then they make a mens version.

Two of them have big shoe deals like Clark. And they are the only three women in the sport to have them.
