Where does Stewie get that sort of exposure? Certainly not from games, even WNBA finals don’t have that sort of exposure. PUMA isn’t going to do it, because companies rarely see a value in marketing women’s apparel when that woman doesn’t already have a huge name. And exposure leads to exposure. Paige is likely going to be more popular now than she ever will be. Leading to more media time, which leads to more social media followers..and companies are lazy by nature, so Paige’s social media + exposure would lead to companies investing in her more. Taurasi made a mistake years back by not getting into social media, Bird is starting to now - and if you notice, her Brand is the biggest of the three. it’s actually a wonderful thing for female athletes, as now women don’t need to depend on companies to give them a fair shot - as long as they’ve done the leg work.
