Doesn't the WNBA LOS BETWEEN $40M and $50M/year? They've lost money every year since they were founded. They are funded by the NBA. Supposedly, they have a new media rights deal for $200M/year for the next 11 years.

Kobe brought in more profit in one night than Taurasi than in her entire career.

The WNBA has never made a profit. Any checks she's getting are nothing more than charity from the NBA.

She's economically illiterate.

[MtnClimber]

Does the witch think she could beat Kobe Beat Kobe Bryant?

“I always thought about I should’ve get paid for being the best basketball player in the world

You would have been if you were.

But you weren't.

Were you really good for a female? Yes.

That does not equal "the best in the world".

Stop reading your own press releases and come back to reality.

[Mariner]

It depends on what the teevee and ticket buyers are willing to pay.

And that depends on ratings.

[higgmeister]

I needed that laugh!   ¡Con mucho gusto!

[FlingWingFlyer]

She should have at least got 2 bits for every game.

[Vermont Lt]

She gets paid what she is worth.

[FatherofFive]

WNBA players receive a much smaller percentage (around 10 percent) of the revenue.

Each one receives an infinite % of the WNBA PROFIT!

Pagig Michael Jordan and Nikola Jokić...please pick up the white courtesy phone. A Diana Taurasi is calling.

Little Sisters of the NBA.

[Rummyfan]

Diana, when twenty thousand people show up for all your games every time, and millions watch them broadcast, then you can demand higher pay. Apparently you have no understanding of basic economics.

[kosciusko51]

The WNBA product is inferior to the NBA, Men’s college ball, and elite men’s high school basketball.

If they want to be paid like the best in the world, they should play the best in the world.

She might be the greatest female basketball player, guess those that watch can debate, but she is definetly not the greatest basketball player. In fact, she’s probably not as good as anyone on a roster in the NBA. That’s why she doesn’t get paid as much.

[rktman]

Could be just me, but all of them are overpaid. WAY overpaid!

[Organic Panic]

Golly. It would be a shame if they were to go on strike...

No one would notice.

[JSM_Liberty]

The WNBA should get rid of the salary cap and let the owners pay what they want to.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Women are not barred from the NBA, and a few have even tried out. They just haven't been good enough for a team to want them.

So the best response to women like her is "why didn't you just play in the NBA? If you were as good as Kobe Bryant, some desperate team surely would have signed you."

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Welcome to the club. I was a world champion curling sweeper and I got
paid diddly. Not even a sponsorship from Dyson or Bissel. That's no fair.

[Vendome]

I’ve heard of Kobe but, never heard of you before.

That speaks volumes

What is the trans policy of the WNBA? Just asking because if the salaries start climbing it may become the LGBTQBA. Not that I care one way or the other but if the trans show up some comedy may ensue.
