I can only offer a guess or two as I only watched early. First and foremost the three fingers represented the fact that the first three players drafted were all from the same school .Why was the WNBA President and each player fist bumping and holding up three fingers???
You are right. I think it means 3 for 3 in the first 3 picks.I can only offer a guess or two as I only watched early. First and foremost the three fingers represented the fact that the first three players drafted were all from the same school .
Another take I would have is the league is celebrating the start of their 3rd decade of existence. It was well noted early that the league has two decades now in the books. That's my best shot and of course a three pointer.
We have an answer.
The inside story of why the WNBA draft picks did the same fist bump at the draft
"W"
Bingo, great tool to get attention, I like the new Prez, cool lady.....We have an answer.

As a native user of American Sign Language, I along with many of you guys were mysified with the hand signals. Their hand signals do not look like what a normal signer would sign "W". Usually there are space in between fingers but at the draft the fingers were closed together. Inappropriate hand/finger location does make a difference in actually signing or mocking the deaf community-although I can see that WNBA may have had good intention, it does have some element of mockery. Basically, they should have consulted with native signer to ensure appropriate handshape is used in such a public setting.
