WNBA Players are much better than you and must be respected at all costs.

We as people want to achieve better, but are mostly trapped in our own minds & environments. Things don’t go our way and we complain. Or if something major occurs, that person or idea should be banished forever. People don’t see the long hours a person dedicates to his craft and the sacrifices that are made. They don’t know the person’s journey from living in poverty to becoming successful at their career.

All that is shown is the person’s current life at the moment and the luxuries that come with it. The media misrepresents the world in many ways. You are shown a image of a Basketball player and all of the jewelry, cars that person has.

But, what isn’t shown is the person living in poverty, not knowing if food is going to last, if they are going to be evicted from their apartment, etc. You are shown a photo of a singer and see the high life of jets, cars, money, etc. But, what isn’t shown is that the singer is dealing with cancer and only has 5 months to live. These are the things to think about the next time you see an athlete, singer, actor, comedian, and believe they are living a great life. They are, but they are human and also have issues too.

Making to the professional level in basketball is very difficult and takes an abundance of hard work, luck, dedication, sacrifice, skill, training, etc. When someone says that women basketball players aren’t and will never be good as men, it is downright disrespectful because you don’t know how much time they put into their craft.

This may be surprising to many, but NBA Players and hoopers who actually can play ball respect women players. This is facts, just go ask any NBA player or person who can really hoop and they would tell you what I am saying. The people who can’t hoop, never played high school ball, college ball, the average working man who is tired of his job and wants to vent and uses women ballplayers as amusement for his issues.

Let me make it clear, it is HARD to make it in the WNBA. These are the top 1% of basketball players in the world! You don’t get to the highest level in basketball by just being a woman. That statement is wrong and shouldn’t be said at all.

All REAL ballplayers know the standard and the work that needs to be done. People who also say the women’s game is boring, you haven’t really watched basketball. you just want to see the highlights. Try going to an actual game first. I have been watching basketball for a long time and love watching the WNBA and their players.

This past year’s playoffs were insane with the buzzer beaters, half-court shots. I remember watching the Chicago Sky vs the Las Vegas Aces and saw Dearica Hamby shoot the ball from half court and make it for the win!!!!!!! it was something to behold and will live on in basketball history. Not to mention, They were in the semi-finals and needed to win to stay alive and extend the series.

Shout to the Washington Mystics for winning their first championship in franchise history!

Lastly, WNBA players are doing something majority of people won’t do: Go Professional in sports.
