I like Mark Cuban, even though he can be a little crazy at times. The guy is a sharp businessman (been pretty much a success at any business he's been involved in), and is also great at getting publicity. He knows Griner can't play in the NBA, and frankly, it wouldn't hurt to have her on a summer league roster just for the attention it would bring. In the 80s, Ann Meyers tried out with the Indiana Pacers. Of course she didn't make it, but she was a guard, so she didn't get dominated on the same level that Griner would as a forward/center. Cuban was also the first to openly discuss, and then sell ads on jerseys (practice jerseys) in the league.

When it comes to how players are treated, Cuban is the best. Their locker room is state-of-the-art, with music and video capability in each player's locker so they can be entertained and watch game tape. They have a nutritionist devote individualized attention to each player, including concocting smoothies etc. for each player. Visiting players steal the Mavs' towels, because they're the plushest in the league. He pays attention to the little things. So yeah, he can be annoying because he's always around and making noise, but he gives a damn about his players, his organization, winning, and the league as a business.

Volleyball... yeah but to me women's beach volleyball comes to mind (although the indoor is great as well)

Enjoy this:

Gemini that was kind of weak. Is there a high school/college version? I've seen pictures of amazing asses on college volleyball players but all those pros look like men.

Yeah most of the asses in the video are a little too athletic looking for my tastes as well, but that's the only volleyball butt compliation I was able to find. A few BR bundas in there though.

Just thought I'd share an epic hamster response on one of the articles posted in this thread.

Quote:Would be nice if players in the WNBA could earn anything close to approximating their counterparts in the NBA. Some of this has to do with the media's choice to give overwhelming coverage to men's sports and very little coverage to women's sports (with the result that sponsorships and advertising revenue — vital to paying salaries and team expenses — is much less for women).

My guess is that the media is intimidated by all the strong, independent women in the WNBA
