WNBA All Star game MVP and NBA All Star game MVP
The WNBA is a brilliant basketball league that many believe the NBA has overlooked about. The WNBA has had some fresh success in recent years. There have been a lot more viewers of the league, and there’s no denying that NBA players have been praising the WNBA. Women’s basketball is developing, and it’s wonderful to see that these exceptional women are now receiving more attention. But now, the WNBA is receiving negative publicity after a fantastic weekend of women’s basketball.
Numerous sports fans are eager to make fun of the WNBA, and this past weekend, the WNBA provided them an opportunity to do so by awarding Kelsey Plum with a disgracefully small All-Star Game MVP trophy. Plum of the Las Vegas Aces received the All-Star Game MVP award, which is undoubtedly the tiniest trophy a professional league has ever seen, following her 30 points on Sunday for the winning Team Wilson in her maiden All-Star appearance and tying the All-Star scoring record.
Does WNBA deserve to be discriminated?
Giving Kelsey Plum, who made the biggest impact in the game featuring the most elite athletes, something that resembles the prize for the winner of a middle school spelling bee is absurd, despite the fact that it is not shocking. Plum received a delicate tiny cup after two hours of outstanding activity in recognition of being among the best in her area. It was somewhat shocking to see such a modest prize awarded to these women considering the effort these women put out. This is just unacceptable for a league like the WNBA, and many are urging the commissioner to start offering the players more incentives in order to prevent further mockery of them.
There has been many protests and discussions based on the wage gap between NBA and WNBA players. The WNBA looks to be making significant efforts to expand, as seen by rising attendance and rising revenue from television broadcasts and other sources. However, it doesn’t seem like there is a system in place to guarantee that player pay are correlated with this increase in income. As their league begins to pay more like the NBA, more and more WNBA players will get salaries that are more than a million dollars less than what they would otherwise.

NBA Fans react to the tiniest trophy in sports history
The WNBA has some incredible hoopers, despite what others said, and it’s just terrible that the league gets attention for things like this. Here is how the twitter world reacted to the All Star game MVP trophy:
As several have noted, Brittney Griner’s horrible situation is related to the economic circumstances that drive many female athletes to increase their income with contracts with foreign leagues during the US offseason. The WNBA will play 40 games in the upcoming season, so the trajectory is undoubtedly higher, but incidents like this highlight how very much challenges remain.
