The Price is Right



I'm a die-hard basketball fan and have been my whole life. High school, college, professional, Olympics... I love it all.

Except the WNBA. Why? Because the talent level is not even 1/10th of Men's college basketball, let alone the NBA. I'd rather watch AAU summer league games.

So KK stumbled across this bit of information and I have to say that I don't think that WNBA players are overpaid but I don't think they're underpaid either.
According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, for a WNBA player in the 2009 season, the minimum salary was $35,190; the maximum salary was $99,500; and the team salary cap was $803,000. For NBA players in the 2008-2009 season, the minimum salary was $442,114; the maximum salary was $13,758,000; and the team salary cap was $58 million.
