Imani McGee-Stafford will take over the Atlanta Dream’s Instagram account and give fans a glimpse of life behind the scenes on gameday in China. Plus, a look at the new-era Chicago Sky, C. Vivian Stringer’s singular greatness and more! This is today in women’s basketball.
As happens at the end of every WNBA season, players packed their bags in search of riches in foreign lands.
This may sound dramatic, but it is literally what happens. With the maximum WNBA salary capped at $125,000, players compete abroad to maximize their earnings — bringing in as much cash as they can, while they can, as being a professional athlete requires. For Atlanta Dream center Imani McGee-Stafford, the destination was Liaoning: a province in northeastern China, in near-geographic proximity to the border with North Korea.
McGee-Stafford plays for the Henye Flying Eagles and is averaging team highs in scoring and rebounding, with 15.7 points and 8.9 boards per game. Tonight, she will take over the Dream’s Instagram account and give fans a glimpse of gameday in China.
