Good WNBA players make around $250k…….She’s been quoted saying she makes more and isn’t in a rush to leave

I have no idea what WNBA players make but I doubt seriously that very many of them are making 1.5M per year from their salaries only, not including endorsement deals.

I’m sure Mercedes Benz of Baton Rouge gave her a sweet discount for the free advertising.
And whatever she did pay could be written off as a business expense. The men could learn from her for NIL. Instead of shady lease deals so you can show off to your friends, everything needs to be advertised to improve your brand.

She thanked them for helping her purchase it. You can’t purchase something without paying for it. Now I have no doubt that the dealership gave her a hell of a deal. Now that some of these these athletes are making millions of dollars why would they give it to her? It’s not good business.

There are several high end apartments in BR that have chargers now plus there are several super chargers available all over town.

True but good WNBA players are making NIL money too, probably even more than she is.

NIL doesn't exist in WNBA. Name one good WNBA player. I bet she's made more in the last month than some that have been in the league for years.

She mentioned in an interview last week that she wasn't buying a new car, she wanted an NIL deal first. Seems like Mercedes BR heard her and jumped on it.

You do realize that attention is where she is making all her money right? Someone like Angel Reese is exactly who NIL is great for. She would never have made the Money she will make in 3 years at LSU in her lifetime. Good for her I say

She has 1.7 million Instagram followers, which means that the post itself is worth about $25,000.

It has over 600,000 likes, which is arguably worth about $30,000 for someone with her following.

So I doubt they gave her the car but they probably knocked off a major portion.

You’re either dumb or don’t watch TV. NIL does exist in the WNBA. Candace Parker and Sue Bird are on every other commercial during NBA playoff games. There’s another butt ugly WNBA player on State Farm commercials. I could name other but you get the point.

If you think companies aren’t paying WNBA players for their NIL then you’re an idiot.

Candace Parker makes $5.5M a year from endorsements. What do you think NIL is?

Not in salary, no, but her endorsement income isn’t going to just suddenly disappear when she goes to the WNBA. The salary just will be a small portion of her overall earnings, so there’s no need for her to rush to turn pro.

if that's a gift by the Mercedes dealership via NIL, then ok.

But if she bought that with her own NIL cash, she'd be MUCH better off buying a used Camry and keeping that other $80k in her pocket.
