Did you see that, probably not?

As a WNBA fan, I must say yesterday's buzzer-beating playoff victory in San Antonio has to be one of the bright spots in the history of the league. Unfortunately, it's also probably one of the league's biggest disappointments.
The Silver Stars beat the Sparks 67-66 on Sophia Young's 18-foot bank shot at the buzzer. It was one of the better games you will ever see with big shots and three lead changes in the final 20 seconds.
Young gave San Antonio the lead with two free throws before LA went on top by one on a putback by Delisha Milton-Jones with 1.1 seconds left, setting up one of the most miraculous or lucky shots, depending on which team you were rooting for, you will ever see.
This was the game the WNBA would love to put on a DVD and send to each of its critics. This was the game that should've shut up all the naysayers who question the intensity of the league. This was the game that showcased how exciting women's basketball can be at the pro level.
The game the WNBA would love the world to watch was on NBA TV.
I get NBA TV, mostly because that's where the majority of WNBA games are shown. But, I'm in the minority, especially in Arkansas. Most folks don't get the channel, which means, unfortunately for the WNBA, most didn't get to see one of the league's best ever games.
This is a big reason why the league's popularity isn't any better than what it is. You can't have your playoffs on a channel that most people don't have. It's amazing how many of the best WNBA games have occured on NBA TV. Did you see that incredible Phoenix-San Antonio game in last year's playoffs?
Exactly.
If you want to watch the WNBA, you can find it. But, if the league wants to get the attention of new fans, it had better get its product on a channel where EVERYONE can see it.
