Honestly, I would think that doing that would help because it's lower you don't have to heave the ball so hard more shot's can be made and percentages would be higher but they are too stubborn which is the reason why they can't make a change in profit and money
Imagine shooting on a 10 ft rim for 15 years. Then going to the WNBA and having to completely change your shooting mechanics to fit the rim. Some would adjust no problem. Others would never be as good as they were on a 10ft
But it would ultimately make the future of the WNBA much brighter. It would drastically effect current players unfortunately, but I don't think it will take them long to get back to the same or close to the same level. Maybe 3-5 years. Then it'll just continue to get better and better as children will instead be practicing on 8 foot rims instead.
You mean like softball and baseball? Different bats, gloves, balls, smaller fields, shorter distance to bases. Plus almost every basketball goal I've ever seen is adjustable
So your saying there not capable or skillful of adapting to a shorter rim? I have 10 foot and an 8 foot rim and I shoot with both and its not that difficult
Yeah, I coach and train kids aged 10, and they play on a lower rim (2.65m instead of 3.05m) and a smaller ball (size 5 I stead of 7). I often shoot around a bit (or even dunk to impress them) with the kids, and it's fine really. The adjustment comes later when you go back to the high rim in your own practice. You miss the first few on the high rim, then get back to normal.
But switching to the low rim, no problem. Just easier. Except layups. The first few layups on such a low rim are hard.
Not really, adjustment to a lower rim is pretty easy, for shooting. I do it every week.
Layups however... That shit is fucked up with a lower rim. But you're just going to switch to dunks anyway.
Wnba balls are already smaller than a regular basketball.
I bet any money their salaries would rise significantly if the game gets more exciting. We need women to dunk on women!!
It’s not average height it’s average max vertical
6 inches of height
6+ inches of vertical
Some inches off arm length
The conservative estimate is 8.5 feet
Lolol imagine if a wnba player actually did this in game
Ticket sales literally would go through the roof lol
I really want to see them play on an 8 foot rim. I'd pay good money to see them yam on each other.
They unfortunately have too much pride to lower the rims. But I agree.. sports are entertainment, it’d 100% make it more entertaining
I watched something about this and lowering it to 8ft would fuck up everyone's shot. They use 10ft rims from elementary school to the pros.

Having children practice on 8 foot rims would be a logistical nightmare. You’d have to have “boys rims” and “girls rims.”

No if you train to shoot in 10 ft rims your whole life changing it to 8 ft randomly for a whole season would fuck you up.

You’re not an NBA/WNBA level player. You scoring on an 8ft rim against 10 year old isn’t the same.
Exactly, it will be much easier for them. Also, I think 8 foot would be insanely low. 9 would be more realistic.
“i do it every week” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, so these professional players should be able to do it much better.
But not too much pride for a shorter 3 point line and smaller ball
Smaller ball just makes sense
Then they should have a proportionally smaller rim. It's super easy to shoot with a women's ball. Two balls can fit through the rim at the same time.
To be fair, two standard NBA balls can fit through a regulation rim— unless that’s what you were alluding to? 🤔
No, they can't. Google is your friend if you don't trust me.

8' seems too low, a 10 ft for a 7 footer, should be 9 ft for a 6 footer
But I wanna see their heads up above the rim!
Even 9'6" makes a lot of sense. I think their league average height is only about 6" shorter
It’s not average height it’s average max vertical 6 inches of height 6+ inches of vertical Some inches off arm length The conservative estimate is 8.5 feet
No I agree as well. Standing reach is a major factor but I don't think wnba wants to play on such a low hoop
I'd tune in every night to see Jonquel Jones demolish every single guard in the league under 6 foot
So would i
Tracy? Is that you?
Would hit 4 digits for sure
any relation to commander shepard?
I just started ME1
We'll bang ok
Haven’t played any WNBA in 2K. How does it play in comparison?
Kind of limited they should make female characters playable in the city if they want people to use the W
Just limit them to no dunking like in real life
It's a game bro you can make a 5 foot 7 pure slasher and get dunks why not women
Because 90% of people who make WNBA jokes are lonely incels
I just edit the rosters to make them able to dunk and give them good handles. It's fun for a couple of games
That's legit
How tf 💀
Ya! And Grizzly Adams had a beard!
*Grizzly Adams did have a beard*
Aye!! 🔥
Totally unrealistic. Could never happen in real life because Brittney Griner is in Russian prison
I remember when I did something like this with Sabrina Ionescu but I think she was the only one who could’ve dunk lol
Totally realistic. Source: went to high school and college with her
🧢
what's the cap for
You already know
not really
Incel
Lmfao. I'm not sorry for laughing either.
Unrealistic
Over BG as well.
ESPN Top Ten Plays! Coming in at #1-5, 7 and 10.
My myplayer with 90 ovr driving dunk 95 vertical would probably just lay this up if it an open fast break
Exactly
Stop the cap
Bro does she have a 50in vertical
Lol they really are a real basketball sim. Lol if they were trying to be realistic 99% of the wnba players would only be able to do layups.
Who y'all wanna see next name any current player
Can't quite put my finger on it but this was funny as heck.
