| In basketball, the salary cap for the entire WNBA team doesn’t reach $1 million. Yet, for the men’s league, the cap is over $58 million. |
|
So if my math skills are adequate, theoretically if the men played a 34 game season we would be looking at an approximately $24 million salary cap |

| I kinda thought it was offensive. I didn't like how they stereotyped black women, and I really disliked how they had Cecily Strong do that masculine voice.

I was wondering if you didn't consider one of them a star

Nope I first saw it at work. And I wasn't on break soooooo  ... I kinda rushed thru it. And I thought the article said five. I guess I got it completely...wait it wasn't my fault. I first read about the photos on Tulsa Shock's FB feed. They said it was FOUR WNBA players besides Skylar Diggins. So I just repeated what they wrote along with apparently not going through all the pictures. The one I originally missed was Tina Charles by the way. |

I feel like they picked some of these out of a hat. I'm not saying she's not fit, but out of all the WNBA players, why Dupree? I understand Diggins because being a fitness model and training is kind of her deal. Maya and Parker maybe because of they are more well known. Charles too was a little bit of a head scratcher for me.

| ...And on-and-off for the past 14 years, Sacramento Kings Dunkers captain Alain Anderson has professionally dunked for the NBA. Basketball fans all over the country have seen his moves --- Anderson's resume includes stints with the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Clippers and even the Sacramento Monarchs circa 2008. |

You have to go to #5 |
ikoloz Tskitishvili (No. 5, 2002)
Another European big man that fooled NBA executives into thinking he was the next Dirk Nowitzki, Tskitishvili averaged a measly 2.9 PPG over six NBA seasons.
After fizzling out in the league, Tskitishvili headed back to Europe. At the end of 2014, he was playing in Lebanon

Hmmm...the one I saw with #5 at the top was the one of Shelden Williams and they remarked his biggest contribution to the sport was his wife Candace Parker of the WNBA. Oh I see, #5 was his draft position. You'll just have to scroll through to Shelden. |
