Draymond Green Humbles WNBA Legend

I mean, I think you know, from a salary standpoint, it would be great for women to be able to make more money, it's a lot of work, it's a lot of hard work, oh man, you can see Draymond sitting there ready to go. could hit someone, former WNBA MVP Lisa Leslie was asked what she thinks the WNBA should do to improve and her answer was get paid more and with the current state of the WNBA, get paid more just It means that the NBA donates more money, let's see this clip. from the Lisa Store podcast. I just saw a phenomenon for those of you who saw a phenomenal WNBA game in Las Vegas or Seattle right at the level where we were talking about the level of basketball.

I was blown away by you as one of the pioneers of the WNBA. How do you think the game has evolved? Do you still have a long way to go? From where you sit, I don't know who this guy is, but he seems like one of those fake guys when it comes to gassing enough women. You can usually tell when someone is genuine, you know when they say something nice, but this guy comes across as one of those guys who tries so hard to get women excited, he just sounds super fake, he sounds like he's trying to make a Panda tour.

I wonder if Lisa has the same impression, yes, exactly, if it's something that I'm not saying to change, that you feel like it can help the

wnba

game come out well, so I think the game looks great, I think it's It evolved very well. I think player by player, players get more talented and faster. You can see that they are acquiring that individual training. Ball handling skills. Shooting game is phenomenal. I thought they were playing at a high level. I am very proud of them. Support for the WNBA. Still, I'll always know, obviously we'd love to have Great Britain back home, that's important, she's never far from our thoughts, but the WNBA is rocking, what could we have more of?

I mean, I think you know from a salary standpoint. It would be great for women to be able to earn more money, it's a lot of work, it's a lot of hard work. I think I saw something that said a player making maybe 12 million on an NBA team could cover everything. WNBA salaries yeah yeah that's crazy and again you know we're 26 so it's not like we're comparing ourselves to the NBA but I feel like the pay gap would be something you know we could simply. take a donation in the NBA maybe one night you won't go to the casino.

But I have something about this because it bothers me, it bothers me because I don't think there's anyone in America who supports the WNBA more. that NBA players 100 NBA players support the WNBA like most of us probably support the NBA more than it bothers me, look, I told you I wasn't kidding, their response to improving the game was to give them a the players more money she wants. earn more because it's a lot of hard work, yes, being a professional athlete, yes it's a lot of hard work, I get it, but it's still basketball, they have players that make over 200k and the salaries that are on the lower end are around 50 thousand, but they have their highest-paid players, who make over $200,000 in a league that doesn't make a profit, come out and say they deserve more money and that more people should watch it.

It's just a very entitled statement to hear, especially for people who make much less for a job that is much worse than playing basketball. Lisa talks about this pay gap as if everyone is in the same league and then says that players in the NBA should make another donation and stop going to the casino, which is part of the casino, yes that is a good point that the money could be better somewhere else, but not to the WNBA players, they should not give it to them and Draymond tells him directly. NBA players are the biggest promoters of the WNBA, they don't need to give more, in fact, every time they try to do so. show support I mean if you guys have seen my video where Iggy made the tweet and there's another situation where Luca cut a promo and he gets called out, it's the same thing, they just get in trouble and the players yell at them after trying to help.

You shouldn't bother with them because I can tell you 100 of the WNBA players and we had a meeting for our 25th anniversary, we zoomed in with the veterans, the

legend

s of the league or whatever and we just talked about it and I told them On that call , the number one supporter you guys never focus on and that's NBA players. When LeBron wore that orange hoodie, I told you that hoodie was there with the logo when he wore that hoodie, it went viral. and I explained to them the rings to bring that to the bubble, although yes, they wouldn't send us those hoodies, yes, really, but I explained to them that you guys don't even use our number one allies who have supported us since day one are NBA players.

I said you tweet, you follow us, you come to our games, we don't highlight you, you are our number one ally, you have the most followers, you target the wrong people, yeah, Lisa switched for two and one. She bit there and rightfully so, I mean, she understands how much NBA players do for them and she definitely seemed to want to hear Draymond was willing to take the criticism. I mean, that's all the WNBA needs to hear and accept the criticism they need to understand. that they are not there yet and that they need to put their heads down and work and improve the game, which will lead to more support and more money and I think a lot of WNBA players already understand this and keep quiet and work hard.

Unfortunately, there are some loud players in the league who come out complaining and it just makes them look bad. It was definitely a damn moment when I heard from some of the higher-ups in the WNBA office, yes you talked to them yourself, no I didn't. I heard from a credible source and they said when we come to the games, they try not to put us on The Telecast because they wanted it to be shown as a WNBA game, they want the girls to be shown and they don't want to. show us a terrible idea on television.

I disagree. I highlight the fact that Draymond Green, if you come and watch a Sparks or Lebron James game, obviously watch anyone's game, you know what I'm saying, he's saying you came, you took the time out of your day to come watch a game. of women because you value what you're seeing, it's actually the other way around, it's the other way around, like we should value that there are a million things you could do, that's amazing, so if you take the time out of your summer to come to a WNBA game, that's the highlight, yeah that seems pretty dumb, they don't need LeBron Cameron in the whole game, but why wouldn't they show them to say, hey, LeBron is here watching and that's it, do you know what they are? on the same page as that one, I'll tell you what, Lisa, they're making, they're making a big mistake this week, okay, Connecticut and Chicago's fifth game is on Thursday, yeah, that's the first week of the NFL between the Rams. and the tickets and then the first game of the WNBA Finals is Sunday at one o'clock, yeah, what's up with that?

What are you saying on Friday and Tuesday? I don't know, but we have to understand that, we have to put out that tweet early. I need to move that yeah, just another great point about how the league itself is going broke. I mean, LeBron definitely knows that the NBA can't even compete with the NFL. The NBA goes to great lengths to not have games when the NFL is on. it just gets lost every time football just says there are a lot more fans and regular season games mean more, so it's easy for people to say, "I'm going to watch football today instead of basketball, so the WNBA can organize the final games at the same time. the NFL is starting, that's bullshit, the final WNBA games should be at a time when there's honestly nothing else going on, so you can at least draw in the fans and then maybe have some casual viewers that just They want to watch any sport. that day, if that's your only option, at least try, let me know in the comments what you think about what Lisa Leslie said and about Draymond's response, that'll be it for this video, it was your boy, Jay, the dog hit the like button comment and subscribe I'm out
