WNBA players are paid less cause they bring in less advertising revenue & sponsorship revenue than the NBA. When marketing execs see the WNBA a viable investment based on viewership then the Women’s pay will go up.
Pretty much this. The WNBA makes $200m in revenue a year. The NBA makes 50 times more at $10B a year
This is the correct and logical answer. But that doesn't matter. For example, the USWNT in soccer and their player's association signed a CBA and traded performance based pay for guaranteed pay. THEN whined about how unfair it is because the Men's pay. They took it to court and loss and the Judge even said you signed the deal and only want to change the structure of pay after the fact. They lost the case but the organizing body still caved in to their demands. The WNBA whiners are trying to do the same.
It's purely an emotional argument that they "do the same job" thus should get paid the same.
JUST THINK THE NBA IS STRUGGLING WITH RATINGS BADLY DATA SHOWS
Its not less revenue its none. Their Expenses are greater than their revenue... Lets say things how they are.
@@vincentbaillargeon9139Basic accounting. There is a difference between revenue and profit.
Rachel understands how it is, she knows her stuff frfr
Love this analysis. Facts not feelings. Thank god you bring facts.
The WNBA should be thanking the NBA for keeping them in business
You can be sure of one thing. WNBA will never thank a league full of men.
I totally agree that the way to support the WNBA is to show actual interest in the WNBA. It's some of the best and most entertaining basketball in the world. If you want the players to get the recognition you feel they deserve (financially or otherwise), the most helpful way isn't to complain on social media. Watch the games, go to the games, tune in when people in the media discuss the league, argue with your friends about players or teams. Be a fan of what the WNBA is, rather than complaining about what it isn't.
I don't mean to minimize why people would be upset. The numbers really are jarring, and the conversation can be exhausting. We all have friends who talk down on the league (without ever watching it), and we all have seen people who are angry about the league not being more successful (without actually watching it). And it's obvious that, really, none of those people know basketball. I think some of the confusion comes because we're talking about different things. The numbers make sense based upon the support the leagues get, but they don't make sense in terms of the quality of the product or the value of the competition. I hope, someday, to see the salaries reflect the latter reality. But the money goes where the fans go, and so many people should look in the mirror if they don't like what the salaries say.
I also think it goes a lot further. Some players, including Caitlin Clark, will be able to build excitement and will be able to capitalize on that. I'm glad for them. But I also, personally, feel like the WNBA and surrounding media haven't done a good enough job of promoting their stars and leveraging that popularity to build the popularity of the entire women's game. For better or worse, more fans than ever follow players and storylines more than teams or leagues. There's a lot of enthusiasm around many of the younger players entering the WNBA. I hope they do a better job of using that energy than they have in the past.
And, by the way, I know that a lot of people are annoyed about the rising prices of live sporting events. I understand that, for many people, it leaves them feeling left out of those experiences. Go to WNBA games. At least for now, it's some of the best value in pro sports. Go with your family, go with your friends. You'll have a great time, your partner and your buddies will have a great time, your sons and daughters will have a great time. It's a lot more fun, and a lot more healthy, than screaming into the internet void.
Rather than talking revenue, I’d like to hear more about net profits from both the NBA and WNBA.
The WNBA doesn't make profits, they loose about 10mil every year and depend on the NBA for funding
That’s the problem a hard-core 5000 people I’ve been watching women’s NBA is not changing the game. You need a new generation of girls to get millions of people to watch the game. Those 5000 hard-core people is not getting paid are making the game better.
If the WNBA can get high viewership that can lead to a big TV deal then the money can really come in for the players.
Watch Bill Burrs comedy why women WNBA don’t make as much as men in the NBA it’s funny🤣🤣🤣
NOBODY GOT COVID AT WNBA GAMES😂😅😊 because NOBODY went to WNBA games
We all know the answer to this. Very straight forward. More money, crowd, merch, ticket sales and many other things is the reason why NBA gets paid more.
Don't worry about Caitlin Clark. Her Nike and other deals will make up for it. New eyes are on her. If she does well, WNBA will do well.
I agree with everything, but be careful about angering the big blue machine. RUclips has already altered your algorithm.
Watch Bill Burr. He explains it best.
Yup I said that in my comment also. “You (women) not me failed the wnba. Where are all the feminists? That place should be packed with feminist”🤣🤣🤣
Skylar Diggins-Smith is who got me to start watching. And now been a fan of the Las Vegas Aces since 2018. Been to majority of the home games. Side note just a mile away from practice facility 😆
great analysis - becoming a fan of your podcast - keep it up
Thank you for putting out this post. My daughter and I had a big debate about this exact thing. I tried explaining it to her,but to no avail. Maybe coming out of another woman's mouth, it will sound less chauvanistic.🙂
Dear Rachel you're absolutely right and what you just said I have never watched the WNBA League before so you're right I am limited knowledge on it but I do understand the difference between a 28 years in a fledgling League yet compared to a 78 to 79 years the NBA has been in play and the volume of the money situation between 10 billion annual made compared to 60 million for the WNBA and I have put out on Facebook especially when iced tea off of Caitlin Clark 5 million to play for 10 games in the big three he was taking a big backlash on that I pointed out even if she doesn't take that deal when she reached it WNBA League from the draft yes her salary is just basically $338,000 for 4 year deal show me make up more than that in her off Court deals they call NIL deals but now that she's in the WNBA they will call some sponsorships and as we can see Nikes giving her a 28 million 8 year deal what's the signature Michelle approximately make 3.5 million per year plus a percentage of the shoes that are sold yeah like I said I don't know anything about the WNBA but from ladies like you that explain things to me in more greater detail I agree with you Caitlin Clark will be just fine Oliver off-court deals and her popularity because how much everybody across the world really like her cuz it's a type of lady that she is on and off the court it would have more people like Caitlyn Clark whether there's an amazing or a woman's League of any kind of sports it would be such a better world wouldn't it with more kindness instead of hatred as we can see already doc Clark effect is already playing a big deal in the WNBA League how much ticket sales have grown by a big bunch how much does it cost and in arenas are starting to be sold out for a lot of these franchises first time ever no I just hope the rest of the league will get behind the commissioner of their league instead of doing more hatred on Caitlin and do more supporting her to grow their league even better there have been other women it has in their past history anybody with half a brain can understand that but with Clark and the rest of the draft ladies that came in this season and their capability raising the legal leading by Caitlin Clark they can take their league up another notch for sure jazz from her popularity I understand that much so I'm saying good luck for all these young ladies just got drafted this season and because of Caitlin Clark I will be watching the WNBA League now just to follow any young ladies that came into the league with her to see what they might be able to do the raise up the popularity to another level for the WNBA League now
There is less viewers. Simple. Not anything else.
With no paying fans salaries will not rise!
Hi Rachel another amazing topic and video much love as always 🙂
Why don't male models make as much money as female models that's not fair
Even Dawn Staley tried to put historical context into the conversation, but because she didn’t have a problem with the salaries she’s being ignored.
No, the outrage is coming from the older NBA women players that’s there. It’s not the new fans coming coming in.
I'm in Europe and I go to women "soccer" games regularly. I often try to bring female friends along but most of the time they're not interested. Most fans even at women events are men, I found.
Now for anyone complaining about Caitlin Clark's WNBA salary, just GO to the games! It will help them make money and bring more spotlight to women's Basketball and in turn, teams will get better sponsorship deals. That's how it works!! Simple, really.
Put your money where your mouth is.
It’s simple they need more expansion teams play at least 50+ games and get better deals with tv sponsors
1000% accurate
If wnba players looked like rachel, more people would watch. Honestly, nobody's gonna watch women's sports for the actual sports content...a high school boy's team had more talent and athleticism in their little pinky finger. Honestly, caitlin clark seems to be the rare female player with talent worth watching...hence her popularity
She kept saying we we we, did she meant women and thinks women need to support WNBA more.
Rachel is kind of unfair. Beautiful, chill, fun, confident, and super smart. Love her takes cause she explains herself so well, and freely. She's going to take over the whole sports talk, and did it grass roots.
162 x 60mil = almost 10 billion. This is how video should started and ended :)))
I have some friends who are basketball purists, and they tried watching the WNBA when it first started but they didn’t like it because they said that the product wasn’t that good. To be fair, this was during the time of Michael Jordan, so nothing including the NBA since then is as good, but the game is changing and one thing I learned from watching some women’s college basketball games for the first time this year is that the competition is real. They are genuinely competitive and leave it all on the court, and people like to see that heart and that passion and determination. It’s not just Clark. Angel Reese is an absolute dawg in the paint, and Nika Muhl and Jacy Sheldon absolutely hustle on the court. So, after learning about them in college, I’m really interested in seeing how things go in the next stage of their careers. I’ve already pulled the TV schedule for the WNBA, and I’ll definitely be watching some games.
It's just normal... Wembanyama adds a value of 500 millions dollar to San Antonio.... It's not an issue about Men or Women....Despite my sister is a former wnba player, i watch Nba not wnba like a lot of basket ball fan in the world... It's just an issue about supply and demand!
Play international games as well
Casual fans are not only the loudest people in the room but usually don’t actually know anything about the business of sports entertainment…your feelings about something don’t change the math, only your actions do.
They need to lower the ring to 9.5 feet and make every other rule identical to mens incl the 3 point line stop treating them like babies lol, but the height difference to not jump that extra half a foot would make a huge diff as women vertical leap is naturally much less than men as their muscles are not as powerful. This would lift the entertainment value with dunks now becoming a spectacle in the WNBA
I dont watch the WNBA and im loveing me some Caitlin.
RAD kept it 100!
should performance bonuses be given since the arenas will be sold out?
WNBA Players are paid less because its a Subsidized League under the NBA. So they are given a pre Budget. They have to study why the NBA is paid so much. As a NBA Fan for decades, we Love seeing Dunks, Step back 3 point shots (hint hint why Caitlin is selling out arenas) , and fancy no look type of passes and be a character. Caitlin sells arenas. What Women don't realize is that Caitlin Clarks step back 3 point shots are giving the Womens Basketball space a Female version of Steph Curry. Curry brings fans and sells jerseys so its a no brainer why Caitlin makes a lot of money. I think moving the rim from 10 ft to 9 ft will increase fans too because the Dunk can happen more. Before people say it won't work heres why it works the Female Ball is smaller anyways. Women aren't as strong as men so can't expect any exciting dunks unless the rim is 9 ft. Do that and their top salaries of $250,000 jumps to $10 million just off of dunks. Thats why Men have support. Ask any NBA fan we Love dunks and 3s and a storyline. Make Caitlin their Larry Bird and find a Magic to create a storyline and their money increases as well. Need a WNBA rivalry amongst 2 teams.
If they lower the rim then all the feminists (wnba players) will get mad because they want to be equal to men. You think wnba salary will jump 4000% just because of dunks? 🤣🤣🤣you’re nuts
Am sure when the popularity will be reverse the WNBA salaries will still the same. It is the principles of the investures. IUf yiour proiduct is not known increase the advertisement put on more capital
Pro sports revenue is generated through interest, ticket sales, and TV ratings. If you don't have the skills that make people want to watch you play, then you are useless and not generating revenue and not putting asses in the seats via ticket sales. Simple as that. It's a business, grow up and acknowledge the money CC represents
Economics.
If you think CC is making less money than Wemby yearly I have an ocean front property in Arizona for 4 sale. 😂
Yes, their rookie contracts say what they say but trust me CC is making way more money than Wemby and she will throughout their careers. She’s Taylor Swift & Wemby is Beyoncé both great but because of the demographics of their fans one will make so much more money.
CC is not making 75k only to play in the W this year or the next 4. The league and their sponsors are simply funneling money for her to play through endorsements which can be kept secret which also helps so other W players won’t know so they can’t complain about it.
Caitlin has real data that’s shows she moves the needle more than any basketball player men’s or woman’s. In reality Wemby is not even in her league.
She’s a revenue generator and knowing that only a fool would think she is playing for 75K a year. The leagues (NBA&W) are not stupid they know what she means to the leagues and their future revenue generation. They knew they had to pay her to play and it’s not 75k that’s for the public. There are plenty of ways for them to pay her real value without anyone knowing thru their business partnerships using endorsements.
Well I followed Notre Dames women's basketball for decades. I watched Ruth Riley and Arike Ogunbewale lead Notre Dame to National Championships. I watched Skylar Diggins lose to Baylor because they had a 6'5" man named Britney Griner playing against them. The reason WNBA players make less than NBA players is because the league is CRAP. IT IS HANDS DOWN THE WORST PROFESIONAL SPORT ON THE PLANET. The NBA makes BILLIONS. The WNBA ONLY made $60M last season. Caitlin made $82M for the state of Iowas her senior season. God ONLY knows how much the Caitlin Clark Effect has and will benefit EVERY city she plays in. NOBODY knows who Aja Wilson is. EVERYONE knows who Caitlin Clark is. He'll little African girls in the middle of nowhere know who Caitlin Clark is!!
Yeah some of the new Women fans on Social Media are annoying like I saw the Houston Comets and Minnesota Lynx two of the Greatest teams in the WNBA ever but people who haven't act like they know more than me 😅
Yup. Point blank, instead being mad actually flip to a live WNBA game, buy a jersey, buy the league pass. The rest of this isnt helping anything but hurting the potential broad family friendly appeal that Clark is providing the WNBA. Stop antagonizing and just support it. That gives the women the power to negotiate the cba
I think it's way too many lesbians, most people don't dig that.
These pple who r upset r not fans, they r activist, they never watched or supported the wnba in their life, they know nothing about the WNBA. There should be a rule where if u don’t have an season ticket to a wnba team then u have no right to complain because ur not helping support the wnba and ur part of the problem and u shouldn’t expect other to support them when ur not even supporting them urself.
The guys I know would never watch the WNBA
I know this Caitlin is real popular now because she got people that don't even watch basketball talking about her and females wnba salary's and she made her new wnba team go up a bunch of Instagram followers and a shoe deal worth millions before she even played a game yet and she got people worrying about wnba pay and they been getting paid less than the Nba she's so popular she got people talking about it and the ones talking about it is the ones that didn't know they get paid that less than the Nba they make they money from endorsements and playing overseas I wish her the best.❤
she is even elevating the endorsement game, the more eyeballs the more advertisers the more advertisers the more money.
Bro, Wembanyama is invesment.. People say Dude is Kareem n todays era..
Better than Kareem. Kareem played in an era where it was majority white players. Believe me if Kareem played in today’s league where it’s flipped 80% black he wouldn’t have the numbers he had.
@@Sebastian-dx2xg Source: believe me
Based on: discredit GOAT level player
Wow some one finally spoke facts not feeling
The NBA wasn’t bringing in a huge amount of money for players until a player like Michael Jordan showed up. Caitlin might be the Jordan for the WNBA.
@@JustADudeGamer No, check your history, everything you attributed to others belongs to MJ. He’s the reason the NBA became a global entity, he’s the reason people become interested in the game. He’s the player losing teams couldn’t wait to play cause they knew their arena would be full on those days. MJ was the 1st to get huge sponsorship deals. He was known worldwide and to this day is the player the world identifies with the NBA. Lebron has led to a decline of the NBA not a growth. Ratings are down under Lebrons era cause he’s not MJ. No one is, Kobe was the closest but he still isn’t the goat. Lebron doesn’t put asses in seats or generate interest like MJ did. That’s why MJ is the goat, he changed the game across the board & made it a global sensation. Lebron and others just feed off what he built. They didn’t expand on it at all. These guys were losing to European teams on the World stage.
lets put it this way. The wnba is not like the strip club business.
THANK YOU! finally... common sense from a woman athlete in the basketball world w real knowledge and facts... not feelings / outrage w no understanding why.
Bravo! If I ran a business that lost $10 million a year for 27 years but the salaries of my employees were in the millions, I’d be investigated for money laundering.
lol the NBA was not making a profit for a long time when it first started out too. you invest in a product in the hope that it will eventually return a profit. it worked out for the NBA and it's looking like it will for the WNBA as well.
Hi Rachel ❤
d1 pick me excited for draft day
Women just assuming that anybody who disagree with them know nothing and don’t watch nothing lmao 🤣 crazy……. But it’s true 😂😂😂😂 I don’t watch the wnba, I tried but it’s a tough watch lol
It’s easy. No one watches wnba.
100%
wow
1. forget everybody else. Caitlin Clark specifically is bringing in way way way more money than she is being compensated for.
2. instead of complaining people don't know what they're talking about, be happy that they are saying "they don't make enough" instead of "no one watches women's basketball."
CC just signed a mega million deal with Nike..she is being compensated off of her potential...you can't say she is bringing in way more money when she hasn't even played a game in the WNBA. Rachel is saying nothing but the truth. You need to understand how and why there is a huge difference in pay, before you can say they don't make enough
@@0404DcT She absolutely is bringing in more money regardless of if he played a game yet or not. They announce the TV lineup for the WNBA 37 out of 40 of Caitlyn's games will be televised on multiple platforms, That means there is demand for advertisers for those games. TV isn't free and it is paid for by advertisers. Also, almost every game she is playing in is having to move to a larger venue because of ticket sales. There's also the fact that all her games are almost sold out already and her jersey sold out during the draft. So weather she has played a game or not she has definitely brought alot of money and eyeballs to the game. On another note what do you think happens to bars, restaurants, hotels, etc. in the towns she is playing in when she's there? I understand exactly why female players make what they make, what I don't understand is why they are trying to kill their golden goose before she lays the egg.
@@0404DcT whatever nike pays her has nothing to do with the wnba. I can absolutely say that because tickets are already being sold both at home and away game tickets are near sold out and at quadruple the price of any other game. 36 of their games have already been slated for national TV. last year the most was 8 for any team. She hasn't played a game yet and she has made them way way way more money than they are paying her.
you need to understand she isn't like the rest of the league.
Thank you Rachel!
You call people uneducated, yet you didn’t quite share all the facts. Clark SOLD OUT every 15,000 seat arena she played in this year. Tickets went for hundreds of dollars. All signs point to the Fever doing the same this summer. You can do the math for how much money that will bring in. You have to admit getting paid a base salary of $76k for that return is kind of silly.
I'm pretty sure you didn't do your research either and give all the facts... , First the money she is generating for is NCAA , why would NBA/WNBA give more when is still not proven, second: even though she sold out every seat and NCAA Women basketball has more viewers ... Men's basketball still generate more revenue than the women... and not just by little but by a lot .... Men's NCAA Revenue $1.2 billion, Women $2.3 million... Men basketball still generate 90% of the revenue for the NCAA... and although Women's basketball is not subsidized by the Men team they still get just a little over 25% revenue of the Men's team...
@@Regin314 that’s all well and good but I’m not arguing the league as a whole. I agree all other women should make their current salary. I simply want Clark to get paid more because she brings In more revenue/attention than most other women combined.
@@IowaRocker81 Again she still has not proven for the NBA/WNBA she will generate more sales, the only way she will get paid more is they subsidized further cash from the men's team or should they lower the income of other WNBA player?? WNBA players are paid that because there is only so much money you can give a specific player from money already given by the NBA, should she generate more sales and lower the debt the WNBA has had since its conception or miraculously finally make a profit then an increase would not be out of the question.. not until then , she gets the money that the WNBA can afford.
82÷2 is 41 not 40 so it's not half the game
Oh wow u can do math, so great for you. Lol
WNBA Doesn't generate the revenue like The NBA does. There saved you time.
Surprising we have to repeat that. Just like we have to repeat to Spanish women that men have bigger brains. Don't believe me? RUclips search "Quien tiene el cerebro mas grande?" And have a good laugh
One of the things that is not mentioned is, Caitlin is an American basketball household name. Wemby is a worldwide celebrity. Let's say China is the second or prolly biggest basketball market, you will not see a lot of Caitlin fans out there. Basketball is no longer an American sport, NBA knows this which is why when they build up athletes - they are thinking "world".
It's not that complicated. People don't care nor watch the games so they make less money.
I don’t think people realize that it’s a business first and the pay is based on the money the league it self makes. I feel like this new of women coming out college can get them close to pay the men get I don’t know how close, but if it’s going to happen it’s going to happen because they earned it and not because people decided to just give them more money. The ones complaining about probably never watch a sport to begin with and just think they is an injustice for everything.
not to mention that the NBA is 78 years old as a league. the WNBA is only 28 years old, so the NBA has a huge head start. the NBA wasn't always a huge smash hit money maker like it is today, it almost became defunct because they weren't bringing in enough revenue. it wasn't until the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson era that the NBA really took off. hopefully Caitlin, Angel, Paige, JuJu, and these upcoming players will be that for the WNBA.
it is sad that with all this information available at our fingertips, we still need someone to give us a rudimentary course on economics 101.
They aren’t the best players in the world. Have you seen a game it’s almost laughable
This confirms what I said earlier. Caitlin has been blessed by endorsements to such a large degree that she has escaped that nba/wnba salary discrepancy. Women love residence…homes. Caitlin if a saver and from her Nike deal…..could pay cash before she’s 25 for her forever ? 10 acre ranch. That is a security and comfort level that can make many wnba players jealous. And Caitlin needed no hotness to achieve that level. And that causes other players to blame themselves for not practicing threes….when they were three. Lol….there is a complex matrix in all this Caitlin stuff.
If I remember correctly, The G.O.A.T., Michael Jordan, only made about $400k/yr until the early 90's, then he got about $4mil/yr until he came out of retirement for his 2nd 3-peat. That's when He broke the $30mil/yr barrier for ALL top players who followed. The WNBA is messing up by focusing 99.9% on Caitlin Clark, when she was merely the headliner of the deepest draft class in WNBA history. They had 36 picks over 3 rounds, and 34 were college stars and superstars; not counting those who went un-drafted. 3 whole wnba teams were drafted to the 12 existing teams, and it's idiotic to ignore 34 whole groups of fans these ladies are trying to being with them to the WNBA. This type of foolishness, trying to create a "Great White Hope" of the WNBA is ridiculous, when about 50% of the class is also White!😂
They won't stop making bad business decisions. Almost all of these women have tape of them competing in high school, so it's no surprise this draft was flooded with starters and key backups. It makes no sense to exalt 1 player who can't be what she's been without this level of competition...and others stayed in school another year. A'ja Wilson signaled the changing of the guard, and the W needs to make this right. Caitlin can't carry a WNBA she hasn't even had a training camp in yet.😂
That's a whole nutha level of desperation, since we're all fairly certain Caitlin will be fine, yet you decrease surface area by limiting yourselves to 1, when total inclusion increases surface area. It's like broadcasting a national game only in the Midwest, when all of America is checking for the game. Stupidity & laziness is why they're hemorrhaging millions yearly. I mean, they literally used a year of race-baiting Caitlin vs Angel crap to get this momentum to push only Caitlin over all these talented women? Wow. Women run this, so you can't keep blaming men for not buying tickets or watching games. I mean...36 of 40 televised WNBA games will feature Caitlin Clark, not the back-to-back champion & runner up. It's crazy. I guess her being drafted signaled the end of physical play? I expect a ton of uncommon whistles when these vets D-up.
Caitlin should skip wnba and accept ice cube's 5 million offer :)
They can’t give them millions because they don’t have it, It’s not watched sport. But honestly, I love basketball and watching, it it’s getting harder and harder to watch NBA!!! It’s becoming garbage, Between the horrible officiating, the constant whining of players, to the nastiness to which players treat each other…..fighting and cheap shots….. and uncoacheable players because the money they make has made them so arrogant………..hardly entertaining.
As a male, I'm not interested in WNBA, its not the same compared to women's tennis. You need a new generation of female fans to watch WNBA.
I see a lot of wnba players talking about the pay, maybe they need more education. I think most of us know why they make what they make.. those players need to watch this video.
The complainers can only be mad at themselves for not going to the games.
Nba Mafia
People who don't watch WNBA are the one complaining about the salary.
Hello Rachel 😊 always watching here in Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Say that like new people watching the game is a bad thing new people watching this game is a great thing. That’s what the women’s NBA need for the last 25 years.
She explained that the new people don't understand the revenue. Between nba and wnba.
Great video
Excellent analysis
Go Alissa Pili! Bought your jersey! Go Lynx
It will happen organically, but still “Expand the W!!”
Women,listen to her,she’s right,you’re welcome
The NBA had much higher viewership. The NBA ratings currently suck.
That means their ratings are only 500% better than the wnba ratings🤣🤣🤣
I love your videos
Thank you
GOAT🐐🐐
Rach knows what she’s talking about here. A very unbiased assessment.
If the WNBA lowered the rim I bet a lot more people would watch. Women dunking on women would put views on the sport for sure!
based. IN MY OPINION, the WNBA needs to add something that the men's game doesn't because if you're looking for talent, skill, athletic ability, then you're not going to get much better than the NBA. If the WNBA dipped into something more creative such as storylines similar to WWE or the behind the scenes rivalries or something. A different scoring system could be incorporated to make it more of a coaching/strategy game like shoot from 5 spots outside of the 3 point like extra 5 points after or the losing team has a closer 3 pt line so that the game is always close. They can't expect to gain audience from just playing the same game I'm sorry to say.
