A lot. In the NBA, athletes get paid between 90 000 and over 1 million dollars per year. In the WNBA, athletes get paid between 30 and 100 thousand. 150 thousand if they are really good. I personally think that they should be paid the same, but the NBA is older and has much more fans than the WNBA.

Yes, it is possible to enter the WNBA without playing college basketball, though it is rare. Players can declare for the WNBA draft if they are at least 22 years old or have completed their college eligibility. Some athletes may also gain attention through international play or other professional leagues, making a case for their talent without a traditional college basketball background. However, most players do come from collegiate programs, as this pathway typically provides valuable exposure and experience.
