More coverage of other national teams and leagues
Basketball is an international game and it’s growing every year. That’s why FIBA exists. And while it’s easy for Americans to contently sit in our own little bubble of spoils, there’s great basketball being played all over the world, and it’s a lot of fun to follow other leagues and national teams. The WNBA recently announced a partnership with the Australian WNBL to bring those games to WNBA League Pass, which is a terrific step towards globalizing our game. Considering how many WNBA players are either playing overseas every winter or compete for their respective national teams during FIBA competitions, I believe there’s plenty of room for similar partnerships in the near future. — Eric Nemchock
