Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2195663, member: 44"] Remember that the NBA struggled for viewers early on as well. It was the Bird/Magic rivalry that jumped it to another level. That's what the WNBA needs. Not an easy thing to manufacture. I suppose the best shot was when UConn and Tennessee were bumping heads. A dominant UConn and a dominant Tennessee player could have primed the pumps for more viewership. That said, the short season, lack of 'sports center plays' not just dunks, but yeah, dunks, dooms it. I'm actually surprised that it has lasted as long as it has. That said, I stop and watch for a minute or two when UConn players are playing, but my interest isn't held very long. [/QUOTE]
