It is great to see the tournament and everything for the WNBA growing. Now, one day hopefully the normal games can get this crowd. It may not be this generation, but one day, I want Women's basketball to be appreciated. This part of basketball is getting there!
That would be wonderful! Then maybe it would be promoted more and we might see them get the same level of press, pay, and endorsements the NBA gets. I think the main reason is the fan base is not HUGE enough and the league doesn't bring in nearly as much money as the NBA. I feel some of that might have to do with fan interest but more of that might have to do with the WNBA probably being shackled with regulations by the NBA that it must follow that may actually be preventing it from growing bigger in popularity than it already is. I think if the WNBA were separate from the NBA and had its own funding particularly from wealthy businesswomen up top, the league would be allowed to grow in popularity and you would see even maybe the season get lengthened a few more months, maybe not as long as the NBA but long enough that there was year around exposure for the players and maybe we would see Griner, Parker, and Schimmel on commercials for Nike and Reebok basketball shoes. You never know, man. You never know. =)
@@jonathanakerele8006 THe NBA didn't work for free when they started. But some people came together, invested millions in promotion. I think it took them almost a decade to make a profit. Why not do that for the WNBA?
WNBA needs this kind of crowd. This was proved by the Mystics vs Dream game. Came back from a 20 point deficit, led by Toilver and Latta, to beat the Atlanta Dream on Overtime, and it was all that is to the crowd.
David McGinnis There is one right in CT at Mohegan Sun. It's only a short drive from Boston. There is also one in NY. There are only 12 teams and large areas of the country are without a team. We are lucky to have one so close, and another a bit farther away.
Awesome game. Skylar Diggins showed out. All of these women are pure excellence. Tamika Catchings goes hard. All of the players should take something from her. She is the silent assassin, you don't know what she is going to do, but you know she is going to do it. I love to see these women have fun, gosh with all the extras I love watching a good hustle, great plays, and a good game. This was a good game. VINTAGE
shoni is certainly an exciting player to watch but she is taking a ton of low percentage shots. Most went in during this game so good for her. For her to say to CandaceParker "I got you" was I felt disrespectful.
Do you think you could post WNBA games specifically when the Tulsa Shock, Seattle Storm, Indiana Fever, San Antonio Stars, and Los Angeles Sparks? please
1:14:06 "Tamika Catchings, the veteran coming down. She wasn't gonna pass this basketball." In clutch situations, every woman on the floor wants the weight of taking that shot.
i see why people dont flock to wnba games like they do to nba games now. dont feel the same excitement as an nba game though this was not a bad game to watch the amount of times the ball went into the crowd had me dead😂
To bad Shoni couldn't tame her inner demons. It was a steady downward spiral from this game on, coming to a head in June 2021. Schimmel was arrested in Oregon, and she faced felony charges of assault and criminal mischief, according to the Umatilla County sheriff's office. Schimmel, who turned 29 in May, also faced misdemeanor charges of menacing, recklessly endangering another, harassment and domestic abuse. Her bail was set at $48,750. SOURCE: ESPN

Tamari Miller Yep!

Still hasn't reached that goal yet

This is how full the WNBA crowd should be all the time
shoni wow amazing just amazing
Yep, she went out there and owned the night! Made her mark with all those threes and that crazy 360 layup in traffic! =)
Can't believe I missed all these years of good basketball
"Did Brittney Griner really hit a-- hit a three??" I'm done 😂😭💀
That Sue block and that assist to Skylar to tie it up is just everything! Why is nobody talking about her in this comment section? Such a queen.
Attendance for the 2014 WNBA All-Star Game was 14,685 fans.
The way Shoni Schimmel just flamed out overnight

Thanks, I really wanted to see this game. Absolutely awesome game and fun.
At 7:54, Griner's like, "Get that mess out of here!" Layup denied! Big time block! =)
When I get old enough I want to play on the sparks🏀😎😁
Even though I'm not from Boston, MA. Boston desperately needs a WNBA team.

+Thunderheadfan5 If Boston needs a WNBA team, they would be called the Boston Charm!...
LOL
Colonel Dav W
Nice ! =)
Shoni Schimmel has a whole lot of Jason Williams in her.
Yep, Jason Williams and Allen Iverson. She's a dual threat as a passer and a scorer/shooter. =)
Jonathan Akerele You don’t mean the Jason Williams who shot his butler I guess
Do you have 2013 WNBA All-star full game video???

I think Shoni meant she was going to guard Candace.No disrespect there! Don't you know basketball!
jtoddjb i think shoni gets cocky and as u said disrespectful candace is way outta her league:she is a living legend
+Lena G reaaallly?????? dont u think she went too far
Best WNBA all-star game ever. Actually competitive.

55:29 foul by B Griner, totally knocked McC over. FoU!L
Just give it to Shoni!
Candace parker is just so cool
Skylar Diggins was tripped it was a foul but no foul called. That is not fair as if the West had won Skylar would have gotten the MVP award! SHIT
