Rim height and size is the same in both leagues. Women use a ball that is an inch smaller in circumference and two ounces lighter.

Where are all the feminists? They should be watching.

"Who do you like in the WNBA Playoffs?"

"In womens basketball I always root against the heterosexual."

The data proves it, she is the draw. The WNBA doesn’t care because they can’t have a White gal being the face of the WNBA.

[dfwgator]

You mean a white straight gal.

[1Old Pro]

You mean a white straight gal.

The horrors, please tell me she's not religious.

[dfwgator]

Well she does support Commie-La.

[SaveFerris]

I guess I never paid attention - definitely different-looking

[1Old Pro]

Well she does support Commie-La.

not enough apparently

There is an international leauge. Our players from the US are well repesented on national teams and EU leauges.

Heterosexual white chicks from Iowa can’t jump! Everybody knows that. Ms. Clark’s season stats:

PTS
19.2
REB
5.7
AST
8.4
STL
1.3

The ratings prove what we all know and the trash talking black lesbian players all deny, Clark is the sole reason that the wnba rating are through the roof...and they hate her success.

For the first time in the existence of the league, the players are now riding private jets, not delta, with the doors falling off of the planes.

TV ratings way up, attendance up, merch sales, up and they hate her because she is white and straight and can beat the hell out of most of them on the court.

Clark is not the best player on the court, but she is the most impactful for the fan base, and it is killing the haters.

I'm not a wnba watcher, but I have turned on a coupla indy games to check her out this year, and she is better now than when she was in college...against thugs that are trying to take her head off.

The league officials better get smart and protect their best asset.

Got it. Thank you.

Some say lowering the rims in the WNBA to a height where the players could actually dunk would increase the excitement.

Watching women shoot layups isn’t very compelling.

[GSWarrior]

The WNBA lives rent-free in the minds of many Freepers.

[Tymesup]

18 inch rim diameter, men’s ball is 9.39, leaving 8.61 of room, and a circle with area 58.22. Women’s ball is 9.07, leaving 8.93 of room, and a circle with area 62.61, an extra 7.5% of swishes.

[JimRed]

Still playing; playoffs to a championship.

[JimRed]

She’s a girl. Errr...woman, now, I guess.

No question, though; she’s good at what she does.

[Pelham]

“Clark is not the best player on the court, but she is the most impactful for the fan base, and it is killing the haters.”

She plays like Larry Byrd. Byrd couldn’t jump, wasn’t fast, and would always beat you.

[Pelham]

Fact.
