All she's gotta do is sit on the perimeter and hit 3s really

The current highest WNBA salary is 252k a year
So would take her 19 years to get to 5 million


Yeh, she shouldn’t overthink this

You dont think they would go extra hard at her to make sure she wasnt raining 3s on them?

It’s a solid comparison to LIV/PGA debate.

Did Clark grow up wanting to make millions or to play in the WNBA?

Do they throw her the smaller ball women play with every time she goes to shoot?

If I were her, I'd jump on this like white on rice.

Brilliant move by Ice Cube.

The highest paid WNBA player makes ~$250k/year. 5 million for Big3 would be as much as Clark would earn in a 20 year WNBA career

I have to hand it to you Jim. You're outdoing even pride with your obsession with LIV/PGA stuff. Bravo

But no, it's not a solid comparison. The WNBA is a subsidized league that loses million and millions of dollars each year. Without the NBA bankrolling the league, it doesn't exist. No one thinks the WNBA is hoarding their money away from players. Quite the opposite, actually.

Ehhhh I don’t think so. In a 3 on 3 game she could hang with those washed up pros.

All she’s gotta do is roam the perimeter and catch and shoot, attack and kick every now and then to keep them honest. Ain’t like anyone’s playing D in that league anyway so she could just guard the perimeter on defense
Nothing will motivate those old washed up pros to play defense like wanting to avoid getting scored on by a chick

She has to take the offer. The WNBA players are going to melt and complain either way. Take the money.

If she finds a hubby from the BIG3, WNBA players’ heads will spin like in the Exorcist.

5 mil is more than most WNBA team’s payrolls. Might be a little less than the salary cap.

Accordingly to my calculations, $5mil is 28.4% of the entire league's salary cap added up


Granted, I highly doubt Cube's offer is $5mil per year, or even $5mil for 1 year. But I could be wrong.

You realize she can play as a motion shooter, also? The game is 50% offense.

“Could Caitlin Clark play Big3 basketball at an entertaining level” is a different question from “Can Caitlin Clark beat ex-NBA players one on one?”

The first question matters way more to Ice Cube’s interests.
