For years the WNBA complained about losing money each year (they have never turned a profit) and they finally get a superstar who’s selling out arenas so the other players want to tear her down.

19 assists is a new WNBA single game record. Old record was 18.

NBA owns 50% and five NBA team owners own WNBA teams.
