lol lets not forget the fact these broads go to Europe in the off season and make millions playing in the euro leagues.



Do they really? I would be pretty surprised if they made that much. The highest paid euro men’s players only make like 2-3m IIRC

some of them make pretty good money overseas

and its all in cash of its in Russia

Despite all this, the WNBA's claims of financial distress have helped produce a very favorable agreement for the league. WNBA players are paid a lower share of revenue than their NBA counterparts, and the WNBA owners get to pocket the difference. But is this actually helpful to the league's future? Going back to Taurasi: like many WNBA stars, during the offseason she plays overseas, for UMMC Ekaterinburg in Russia. There, Taurasi's annual salary is $1.5 million, and earlier this year she announced that UMMC was paying her an additional six-figure sum to sit out the current WNBA season.
