Despite the fines and mounting pressure, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair continues to honour Palestinian children killed in Gaza.

This time, it’s Lana, 12, and Bana, 8, who were killed alongside their family in an Israeli attack earlier this month.

March 10, 2011: The Kemba Walker Shot like you've never seen.

Fifteen years ago today I was courtside for the afternoon tip at MSG between UConn-Pitt and took this video from press row.

Just your classic 3/4 court basketball game. A pregame dunk has shattered the backboard in Brainard. #nebpreps @nsaahome @Austin2Jacobsen @HurrdatSports

Does the @MeanGreenFB media guide include their own Scorigami table?

You’re damn right it does.

I know this will be a firestorm topic

WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of the leagues revenue(this includes ticket sales, merch, TV deals) for reference their male counterparts in the NBA is 50.0%.

This resulted in their salary cap being set at just 1.507 million for this year(less than half of Joe Ingles 3.634M)

In theory if they received even 40% of the leagues revenue that salary cap would be at 6.481 M.

That increase would mean roster expansion could occur, players could theoretically still make 3x their current salary and owners would still bring in 60% of the revenue.

Now to put that into perspective, that still means an entire WNBA roster would be paid less than Rob Dillingham will make in 2025-26(6.576M)

——————————

Now yes, the WNBA did lose 40 million dollars in 2024, but this is in large part due to the TV deal they are currently signed to, which in 2026 goes from roughly 45 Million annually to 200 Million annually.

This will result in essence result in the league making money over night from losing 40 to a net gain of 115M just on the TV deal alone. Even if the game and tickets sales were to stop growing, and merch stopped selling, it would still be in the green.

The current CBA would amount to players going from 1.507M in salary cap to just 4.0 M… a substantial raise however it would cost the league just 2.5 M out of that 115M TV deal profits.

If the players got 40%, that’s just 17.204M as a salary cap… a 11x raise over their current salaries, and still in the grand scheme of things less than 1 Jaden McDaniels(24.393M)

———————

The league is built on players whether you’re a CC, Aja, or Phee fan they deserve to get a bigger slice of the pie for the work they all have put in, and as the revenue grows, they should as well.

The WNBA players are not asking to be paid dollar for dollar what the NBA players make, from what I understand they just want a fair share of the revenue.

Now let’s enjoy some hoops.

Love this 80 second bit of Steve Nash getting super nerdy about how fascinating this Pacers offense is. Might be my favorite moment from him on the pod this season.
