So for skills competition, you can miss all shots besides one foul shot, and still wind up winning... not sure where the skill is, it's basketball afterall.

[@calebobietikponah8576]

Lol...I was thinking the same thing

[@KevinPauling]

Well that didn’t happen so no worries re Alesha winning

[@robertfehlman7781]

Should be a penalty for missing all shots

[@alsansoni5321]

@@KevinPauling Besides the layup, she literally made one hoop (which was a foul shot) in the final round. Maybe you were watching something else.

[@mathieuduval7544]

yep should be a time penalty!!

[@atsq17]

They could fix the whole missing and winning thing with a simple rule change. Put 5 balls there instead of 3 and if they can't get one in then their run stops there. Supposing everyone cannot complete the task, the one who made it furthest wins. If it's a tie, time shouldn't come into it. They should have a playoff. Time should only play a part when they finish EVERYTHING.

[@seedking40]

Yeah this would be better because it would show how your skills impact the game positively. Missing quick does nothing to show off any real basketball skill.

[@seedking40]

I wish Chennedy Carter was there. She would have won

[@atsq17]

@@seedking40 she might have been voted in if she stuck to basketball. The cheap shot cost her a spot. I’m not dissing her. Just stating a fact. Caitlin is very popular as you can tell from the voting. Those same people will not vote chennady after seeing what she did. It’s a pity for her because I actually agree that she probably would have won.

[@Brownie05191]

Understandable comments people, but this is the WNBA. Comparisons to the NBA are ridiculously. All due respect to the ladies. Even with their added day time soap drama (that only women bring) I've 100% enjoyed checking out their games for once. Most of this is due to CC and the rookie class. Regardless, I've enjoyed watching.

These competitions are for fun, for the ladies to compete, bond, and promote the W. Clearly passing, timing, and shooting are different in game situations.

Most WNBA players cannot dunk a ball the only one I know that can dunk is Brittney Griner maybe there are other players that are 6'7" or higher that might be able to but looks like they didn't have enough players to make it part of the competition. You need at least 4-5 players in order to make it competitive so maybe that's why they don't have a dunk contest. Just checked only 2 players can dunk the ball currently in the WNBA they are Jonquel Jones and Brittney Griner.
