[QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2688858, member: 7874"] Well Mr. Nilsen does make a valid point regarding the general lack of awareness relative to FIBA women's basketball and the low number of FIBA players that were selected in the WNBA draft. He then weakens his own argument by admitting there are scheduling conflicts between the WNBA and FIBA. So will the FIBA player actually play in the WNBA is a real concern. He admits the WNBA is the best women's basketball league in the world. Why? I think because the best players are from America. Perhaps Vadeeva appears so good because she is playing against the generally inferior FIBA basketball talent. Overseas Chong and other WNBA non-superstars play like a blooming all-stars. Are Chong and the other WNBA players competing with FIBA produced talent? If the WNBA is the best then why be concerned about inferior FIBA leagues. Question: Why come to the USA to play for so little money relatively speaking? Is Mr. Nilsen being hypocritical? Or just peeved because no one in the WNBA listened to his promoting of Vadeeva.
