Talk about unequal pay: The most a WNBA player can make in a season is $105,000. The Atlanta Hawks' Joe Johnson this season will make more than $272,000 -- per game. Agent Bruce Levy said players can add to the average $72,000 WNBA salary by playing overseas, where a typical seven-month contract starts at $40,000.
WNBA players do not make as much as NBA players because there is not as many revenue producing sponsors to market the league due to the fact that there are not nearly as many â¦ viewers who watch the WNBA as the NBA. 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 â¦ 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.
