The WNBA has come a long way, but they still have a ways to go before a ton of people give them the respect they covet.
Not helping matter was an unearthed clip from last year.
In Game 5 of the 2024 WNBA Finals, the New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in overtime.
Somebody unearthed a short clip from that high-stakes game, and it really shows just how poorly both teams played that night.
The 54-second clip shows several missed shots, with many airballs and multiple turnovers from both the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx.
How social media reacted:
“Looks just like the NBA… terrible!” one fan said.
“Take the best AAU Boys 8th Grade team in the country and the AAU team would score 100 on these ladies! Fact 🤷♂️🇺🇸,” a second fan said of the WNBA players.
“Remember last year when ESPN tried to psyop this into being a thing?” one fan asked.
“Women’s basketball has always looked like if it were men playing under water to me,” another fan stated of the league.
One final fan added: “I would rather watch 12 year olds on the playground. More entertaining and better skill.”

Overall, the team shot 22 of 72 (30.5%) from the field, including 2 of 23 (8.6%) from behind the arc.
Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu were basically non-existent, scoring a combined 18 points on 5 of 34 shooting.
Ionescu was the worst of the two, shooting 1 of 19 (5.3%) from the field, the worst shooting performance in playoff history.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
