[Zirin] ‘We Are Betting on Ourselves’: The WNBA Players Union Opts Out of Its CBA

I really don't think that would help. Dunking in the NBA is impressive because anyone who's seen a basketball hoops knows how athletic (or freakishly tall) you have to be to dunk. Not only that, but you have freaks like LeBron who can get their head above the rim and throw down powerful ass dunks and posters. Seeing woman do 2 handed dunks on 8 foot rims isn't going to get a lot of people's attention. I would assume any semi athletic guy over like 5'5 could dunk on an 8 foot rim. Basketball is fun because of how explosive and fast the game is, the wnba won't ever be able to bring that level of excitement. It's not their fault but there's really nothing they can do about it.
