My guess is that the WNBA has a higher FT% because you have to be a good shooter since no one is athletic or tall enough to play above the rim so there are less horrible free throw shooters dragging the average down.

[@DoubleTTB22]

Height also negatively correlates with shooting percentages. Although strangely. The WNBA has slightly lower 3p% each year compared to the NBA, despite the 3pt line being closer.

[@kevdes]

Also free throws are largely dependent on pressure, and the pressure is most likely a lot less in the wnba with less people watching, less crowd noise, etc.

more 3s, less deep midrange shots.

[@amadhatter3280]

My best guess is women tend to have lower strength then men this also includes leg strength with is vital for jumping & with a slower run speed (because women have wider hips which makes them run slower then males) its no wonder the women have a hard time jumping 10ft. Both the NBA & the WNBA rims are 10ft high. That's just too high for most women to dunk, men with greater leg strength, faster movement (and higher stamina because men have bigger lungs & hearts by 60% allowing the blood to flow through the body faster) men can jump higher then women because of biological advantages (hence the whole trans athletics in women sports being hotly debated). IMO the rim should be dropped to 8ft - 8.5ft for the WNBA games, this will allow easier layups & dunking (also more consistent shot making as well) which will raise the skill floor & ceiling for the women's game & bring in more viewers.

Here’s a fun fact about the WNBA: there have been over 11,000 games played since the league was formed. Almost 3% of those, or 336 games, have had a team score more than 100 points.

[@VicerExciser]

I mean sure, but the NBA didn't start regularly scoring over 100 until the 2000s. I grew up watching 90s basketball where it was far more common to see a score like 94-86. 100+ point games definitely happened but both teams getting 100+ was pretty rare. I'd actually be interested to see what percentage of all NBA games since being formed were 100+, the 1940s-1980s would really drag the overall average down despite the last 20 years of 100+ being so common. I'd venture it's not too far off from the WNBAs 3%.

Actually, it's also true for 1957. The Celtics and Hawks were in the finals and the previous 3 NBA champions had been the Warriors, Nationals and Lakers, all of whom were eliminated in that year's playoffs. And if you consider the fact that the NBA consisted of only EIGHT teams back then, it was infinitely more improbable to happen! Sort-of-fun fact: 1957 was also the first time that such a thing COULD happen, since it was the first time that there had been three different champions in the three previous years. The next time was one year later in 1958 and after that again in 1972. It was a regular occurrence in the 70s, super rare in the 80s and 90s (I think it was possible only once during the two decades), and relatively regular from 2001 onward.

Watching the WNBA for fundamental basketball is really interesting because as exciting as the NBA can be, the better the players get, the less it feels like real basketball. When people are capable of consistently making shots from far beyond the 3 point like or running up and dunking the ball on 3 defenders, the less it feels like real basketball that you or I play. The WNBA is more realistic, more human, in that it's just people who love the game and are really good at it, rather than monsters/gods that came up/down from hell/heaven to slam a ball in a hoop.

@@thecaptain9212f you are actually concerned about NBA players missing out on a bunch of money because of the WNBA, don’t be. There is no reliable data other then old articles citing 12M a year that goes to the WNBA from the NBA. So if that weren’t sent to the WNBA, then per the NBA CBA about half that would go to the players. So 6M divided among 450 players, meaning every player would get a raise of $13,333 per year. But like I said, those numbers are really old. It’s unclear if the NBA actually sends out that kind of direct payment anymore.

The WNBA plays about the same level of basketball as middle school boys. If you took last year's WNBA champion (whoever the hell that is) and had them play a 6th grade boys team from a 5A or 6A school, the games would be competitive and the best female players on Earth might have a chance to win. Anything past that, it's a wrap. - Any high school boys team from a larger school would beat a WNBA team by 50+ points, minimum. - Any college men's team would beat a WNBA team by 100+ points. Even Division III. - I doubt a WNBA team could even get any shots off against an NBA team, much less score any points. The NBA team would score over 300 points if they felt like it. The WNBA plays a brand of basketball nobody wants to see, including the vast majority of women. Time to move on.
