Reese was forced out of the final with a hand injury, but her colleagues completed the task with a 62-54 triumph over Vinyl Basketball Club at Wayfair Arena in Miami, Florida, therefore securing the inaugural three-on-three league title.
Although Unrivalled has generated a rich income stream for Reese and her colleagues, WNBA players have historically had to rely on sponsorship prospects and gigs playing overseas to augment their somewhat meager salary.
Beginning her second season in the WNBA, Chicago Sky star Reese received a base pay of $73,439 in the first year of her rookie contract. This year her basic pay will climb to $74,909.
Quick to answer, Reese, 22, seized the chance to lament the value of her WNBA rookie contract. Hello sista, she said. I'm doing OK. Only won fifty thousand on a flight
I know you are VERY conscious, so I'm sorry to break it to you; but, I have to keep that to myself as 50k was a little more than half of my rookie deal. A few years from now, I gotchu (sic). Be nice.
