This will probably be a bit out of place here as WNBA fans seem few and far between but I enjoy watching it from time to time and I was wondering if their games are blacked-out on the various FSNs or MSG.
The WNBA is one superstar away from being a real entity. They need a superstar who is a Micheal Jordan of the WNBA, like someone who can dunk and showboat and is very charismatic. They don't have anyone that stands out like that.
If that Candace Parker from Tennessee pans out, she seems like the one to fit your description.
