The Chicago Sky owners are creating the wrong type of off-season vibes. Jeez.

Really sad stuff. She was one of my favorites to watch back in the day with the Shock. A big personality and not afraid to mix it up in the paint.

For the first time in history, the WNBA generated enough revenue in 2025 to trigger revenue sharing with its players, union leadership told ESPN on Sunday. Union leaders said the league notified player leadership earlier this month that they hit the benchmark. The 13 teams will receive a total of $8 million from the league to disperse among players, the union said.

Well, this is great to read. So maybe some of those "WNBA is losing money" chatter heads can take a break? Fully aware this doesn't mean there weren't losses but this continues to prove things have been moving in a positive direction to me.

If that $8 million is exclusively for players, then you're probably looking at like a $50k payout per player on average. I assume there will be some nuance for players who joined the league halfway through the season, but that's probably a good ballpark figure.

The NBA, through its secret books, monopolizes information on how profitable the WNBA really is and what player-created revenue gets to be shared.

• Of the revenue that gets to be shared, it is a mouse treadmill derived slice of a slice (below). Article available via Google Search (The website garbles attempts to directly link to it. Mox is a HerHoopStats contributor).
• Article below gives an idea how the payout works..

Silly me, I thought that if there were revenue sharing, the players union would need to know the revenue, i. e., see the books. I’m surprised anyone writing about it doesn’t put “revenue sharing” in quotes.
