I don’t know if I agree that the NBA needs to support the WNBA. Not without some sort of ownership or something. Let the NBA players start getting together to buy teams and pay the players better if that’s what they want to do. You already see Shaq giving Angel Reese a bag through Reebok. More of that needs to happen.
Yeah they need to support it since NBA is somehow affiliated with WNBA. If they can able to make the basketball for women became more successful there's good chance that Basketball would became more bigger sports in the scene.
At the moment WNBA is undervalued but what's good about latest happening is they get good viewership and relevance especially that there are women stars gaining lots of attentions from media. If they can market it so well then provably that WNBA would get more bigger revenue and that will also give huge salaries those players deserve to get.
