In the world of the NBA, NHL, NFL, and Major League Baseball, Reese’s $74,000 annual salary is miniscule compared to the million-dollar contracts even most rookies in those sports make in one year. However, it is completely out-of-touch and head-shaking for Reese to complain about making $74,000 annually at a time when thousands of people are facing loss of houses, savings, and even loved ones during recent hurricanes hitting the U.S. On an annual basis, her WNBA salary is greater than the average American and her earnings are assisted by endorsements from various companies. Reese’s complaints might be a reason for a potential WNBA labor stoppage which is a tough needle to thread in a league that is growing in popularity.
