In this ad for the WNBA that ran during Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, NBA players including LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Chris Paul, and Kevin Durant gave a much-deserved shoutout to the WNBA for reaching the big 2-0!
The respect NBA players have had for their women brethren has always been something to admire. In fact, Draymond Green earlier this year said he learns from the WNBA to shape his own game.
In some sports, the phrase “you play ball like a girl” can be meant as an insult. But for anyone who has followed the WNBA over the years—in basketball, it is a compliment!
