As more and more complications keep coming up, the future of the WNBA looks pretty much uncertain. In a recent development, the WNBA has further appealed for a 40-day deadline extension.
However, in an attempt to act promptly this time, the league authorities presented an amended proposal. The new offer provides a base salary of $1 million for more than one player on a team. This represents significant progress from the previous offer of $1.2 million, which did not include a $1 million base salary.
Unfortunately, upon closer examination of the contract, WNBA athletes identified discrepancies in the statement. The likes of Brianna Turner lashed out at the authorities for the housing cuts. Now, in such tense situations, Brittney Griner tried to up the ante by showcasing her dunking skills. And as she failed miserably, fans did not mince words.
Brittney Griner Fails To Pull Off A Proper Dunk
With WNBA athletes demanding more money, they are eager to prove why they are worth it. Now, in the last season, there were some jaw-dropping moments pulled off by several players.
Unfortunately, the latest clip of Griner’s practice was not one of them. In a recent viral video, the Atlanta Dream star was seen attempting to execute some dunks. Now, with the field empty and Griner running towards the rim, fans expected her to pull off a vicious dunk.
