I honestly just can't watch womens basketball, I've tried and I know it's a more pure game than the men's, but I just can't watch it.... at all.

Teresa Witherspoon and Cynthia Cooper were a joy to watch.

I think I'd watch it more if they didn't push the cheesy promotional element so much.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

My mom doesn't understand the point of womens basketball. She says if she wanted to watch basketball, she'd watch the NBA anyway.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I don't watch it and I think the league would've folded by now if it wasn't given so much support from Stern.

Its a good league but too many teams have no clue what they are doing on all cylinders. Especially the Liberty. The liberty plays favorites and pass on more talented players just to keep the people they want in the spotlight. Its terrible.

The league just isn't run correctly. I don't know what it is but their scouting and business practices are comical....worst than anything we see with the Knicks.

As an example, the Liberty had tameka whitmore for 5 years and never thought to use her as an offensive threat. She has done nothing but florish after she left NY. They currently have like 4 small fwd types that can start in their league and the 2 better player are coming off the bench. They had another chic sit on the bench for 4 years before Becky hammon went down and they had to play her. She came in and dominated from the perimeter. They also had a quick up and commer @ point guard that they simply traded away for that 4th small fwd that I don't think is even getting off the bench if she is even on the team anymore! All because they want their golden girl to start. Argh!

Stupid ass mother****ers.

For basketball viewing, I definitely do. I really can't watch more than 5 min of the WNBA without getting bored.

I enjoyed watching T-sppon, Becky, Vicky Johnson & co when they made their runs... but I haven't stuck to the new generation and stopped watching.

I'd watch it more if they recruited from the Alba thread, and they changed uniforms.

I like watching it every once in a while and enjoy the strong fundamentals of the game. THe College game come tournament time is fun to watch.

Those girls can shoot and hit free throws. SOme of the point guards really move the ball well.

Kind of like watching womens tennis. Its not a power game but one of finesse. Its fun watching a good tennis match with long volleys with long legged women. Its fun watching the williams sisters when they are not injured. The mens tennis game with those RoboSlav's serving at 150mph is fun for a while but its not a complete game.

Womens Hockey, football and soccer don't translate well.

Womens basketball is not the mens game, its different.

I watched back in Latvia.
There was one 7' and a couple on 6'10" on the team (called "TTT" stands for Tram-Trolleybus-Park).
They were beating men teams on multiple occasions. They were looking like man, even scarier.
The team was Soviet Union and Euro-club champs for multiple years.

I agree the WNBA has not allowed itself to evovle correctly. The try to rely entirely too much on star power instead of bringing in the most talented. GMs in the WNBA are less likely to take a chance on athletic player who plays a more exciting game because she doesn't have the complete fundamental package but they'll take some walking stiff because she chucks up 3s at a decent percentage and is from a school like UNCONN or Tenn.

Also like Codeunknown mentioned the cheese factor needs to be dropped. People who spend big money on sports (mostly men) aren't going to drop a few thousand on a game to watch Sue Bird because she looks like the girl next door.

They need to do something about the uniforms, you know, have 'em wearing hot pants or short skirts or something. Lets see some legs and some cleavage. They should also give the girls pom poms, teach them to dance in unison, and put some guys out on the court to play basketball.
