The average amount of the major French Ligue can be upward of $8.8 million per year. However, for Ligue 2 it is much lower at around $1 million per year.
It is not against any rules to slamdunk in the WNBA. The women are, on average, far shorter than the NBA men players and therefore do not dunk as often. Many players can dunk however, including: Sylvia Fowles, Michelle Snow, Ann Wauters, Candace Parker, Lisa Leslie, Angel McCoughtry.
none.
-_- this is correct but not because women aren't good basketball players. It's because the NBA is for men only. Women play in the WNBA: Women's National Basketball Association
The New York Yankee star short stop, Derek Jeter, spent 20 years with the Yankees. He has stated that after so many years he decided that it was "his time" to retire. It's rare for a baseball player to remain with one team over an entire career. There is no doubt that if he wished to stay with the Yankees a few more years, it would have happened. Most baseball reporter and fans believe that Jeter did the right thing to retire as the end of the 2014 season. He was still a valuable player, and most believe it was better to leave while still a premier infielder.
About $800,000 per team a year. It's supposed to be going up in 2013.
No, but in NBA Live 09 for Wii, you can play as 20 different WNBA players.
Many players make maximum salary. Lisa Leslie makes about $102,000 due to her being cored. Sue Bird makes $99,500 because she is cored. Other max players can only make $98,000.
Go to the Trans website and when they have open tryouts there should be a number you can call
Jerry West, a former Lakers player, is the silhouette on the NBA logo.
I THINK its Tina Thompson, you can check on WNBA.com though
Hard to say actually. But there are a few that I'm sure deserve the name of the best WNBA player. Sue Bird (my personal favorite), Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, (currently new) Candyce Parker, and Diana Taurasi. Alot of people go between Lisa Leslie and Diana Taurasi. (Not listed in best to worst. It's all randomly listed). But there's probably others who could be considered best...
For the 2007 season, the WNBA rookie salary was $30,000 and the maximum salary was $100,000.
The salaries in the WNBA are lower because the league has no fan support,no ticket sales revenue,no advertising dollars,and no tv contract worth crap. In essence the league loses money because of lack of interest. In the real business world the league would fold. The NBA subsidizes the WNBA so losses are offset. David Stern is showing his business acumen by keeping the nonsense afloat. The pay discrepancy has nothing to due with sexism, it is merely economics. The realityy is that they are overpaid for the profit that is generated.
Yes, she was the first ever female dunker in an organized basketball.
The moment of her dunk was not televised, so we cannot see.
But I remember that in either 1984 or 1985 one television special asked her to dunk, and she did it so easily.
Remember she was only 6-2 - way shorter than Lisa Lesley or Candace Parker.
The WNBA revenue falls well short of the amount they spend on players. The exact numbers weren't given, but it is below the $10.3 million they pay on salaries.
Michael Williams holds the record for the most NBA free-throws in a row. From March 24, 1993 until Nov. 9, 1993, he made 97 consecutive free throws with the Timberwolves.
