The wnba has offered fans of professional basketball a chance to catch some action during the off-season.  It has definitely been a growing market for the past years, but it most likely will never achieve the wide audience of the nba.  It does have a positive outlook though, as more talented players are making a name for themselves and as they expand the teams and arenas.

WNBA basketball is played at a much, much slower pace than NBA basketball. Even when WNBA teams 'run' , they really don't.\n\nWhile the girls in the WNBA are skilled, the skill level is nowhere near the caliber of NBA players...except when it comes to shooting free throws.\n\nThese comments also apply to women's basketball at the college level as compared to men's college basketball.\n\nThe WNBA also doesn't have anywhere near the athleticism of the NBA. The NBA has some spectacular leapers, and they can get very creative with their dunks.... while playing in that style doesn't necessarily translate to good fundamental basketball, it's what today's fans want to see.  And it's all Sportcenter puts on their highlights.\n\nThe WNBA has had, I guess, a couple of players who dunked, but those were only on breakaway layups... boring...\nFans like to see someone take it to the basket strong and dunk in someone's face...you'll never see that in the WNBA...\n\nAlso, women's team sports are not really commerically viable in the U.S. at this time... people just prefer to pay to see men play, because they do it better...\n\nIndividual sports such as golf and tennis are different... in those sports, fans are more than willing to pay to see women who are good at the sport (or in Kournikova's case, just very good-looking).

I couldn't find the entire mission statement.  I know the advancement of women in basketball is part of the the WNBA's mission statement

Impressive, but considering she only got 1 point from the line, it tells you what kind of defense the other team was playing (none, basically).  From what I've heard the other team was pretty intimidated and didn't even attempt to foul her.\n\nNot as impressive as Lisa Leslie scoring 101 in a single HALF in high school.

Women's sports are a colossal bore.  Sorry, but with the exception of tennis, and maybe the occasional golf tournament, that's true.  Women's basketball?  Please.  For men's sports, I'd watch hockey before any NBA game.  The NBA is just a bunch of strutting, overpaid prima donnas.

usually people are invited to one of the pre-draft camps. i know one is held at Emmanuel College in Boston, Mass. or you can call a WNBA coach and try to request a tryout, usually its easier to contact one of the assisant coaches. The best way is, if you play college basketball, then get your head coach to call the coaches for you.

Looked for an answer to your question.  It looks like none of them have folded.  I did a search on Yahoo! under the News catagory and could not find anything.  I also went to nba.com and clicked the WNBA link.  I could not find anything there to tell me of any teams that have folded.  This does not prove that there have not been any teams, but I hope this has helped.

It will never happen because most women can't dunk a basketball.  That's why and most women can't fill a court if their lives depended on it.  In short, WNBA sucks and it will die out hopefully soon.

Not that I know of but there are some gay WNBA basketball players

You all better leave the Millers alone.  Reggie s/b one of the NBA's 50 greatest and holds all the 3 pt and free throw percentage records and many Pacers franchise records.  And Cheryl is the best female baller to ever play the game - hands down.  Better even than Cynthia Cooper and thats saying something.\n\nI dunno if she is gay or not.  I hope not but if she is she is.  All lady ballers aren't even if they remind you of a tomboy.  Lots of guys like an athletic worman.  Reggie was married to a wannabe actress model for many years.

You're right.  I tried to watch a game once.  What a waste of time.  Of course, the NBA isn't much more entertaining, but at least you know you're watching the best.  In the WNBA, they make a big deal out of a dunk.  That should tell you about the overall caliber of play in that league.  Won't be around much longer, I shouldn't think.

I've got Duke winning it all in the mens.  They'll beat Nova by a point.\n\nAs far as the women, I'm sticking with my pick from before the season, Tennesee.  Candace parker may be the best women's player in the country right now.

A FB of mine tried out for the Detroit team.  She's a hottie and 6'2....grrrrrrr.  She had a great time but then ended up pulling out of tryouts due to family issues.\n\nBut she woulda been great at it.

No, she is playing pre-season in Detroit.  Perhaps she was in Israel during the time-off.
