Why is there no womens basketball video game?
Mens basketball is more poular because they have more exciting things. Like dunking and fights and people getting tachnicals. Womens basketball has none of that. IN womens basketball only one person dunks and she doesn't do it all the time. that's why womens basketball is less popular than mens.
Answeri think men's basketball is more popular because their sport has been around longer than women's. men's basketball was invented firstWomen started playing basketball one year after basketball was invented. So the above answer really has no meaning in the equation.
Answer
People want to see the best athletes play and the bottom line is that men who are good enough to compete in the NBA or NCAA are better than their female counterparts. Personally, I think Women's college basketball can be interesting when you have top teams like Tennessee and UCONN squaring off, but it's a fact that male basketball players are better. Case in point: A few years ago I read a Sports Illustrated article about how Pat Summit's Tennessee Volunteers play against a practice squad of male students. Obviously, these guys are talented, but they aren't good enough to make the men's team and yet they're good enough to beat some of the best women.

What is a dimension in basketball?
I am not sure what dimensions you are looking for, but it sounds like the question is dealing with the dimensions of a basketball. The most important dimension for basketballs is the circumference. The circumference tells you what size of basketball is being used, which in turn tells you if the basketball is a men's or women's ball. The circumference of a men's ball is 29.5 inches. The size is also known as size 7. The cirumference of a women's ball is 28.5 inches. This size is also known as size 6. In some youth basketball leagues, players are often started with a 27.5-inch-circumference basketball, also known as size 5. If this does not answer your question, be a little more specific on what dimension you are looking for.
