For that matter, is there a pecking order for overseas basketball? Certain leagues in certain countries considered better than others? What is the highest paying, most prestigious WBB league in the world other than the WNBA?
The average WNBA salary is only about $100k. The WNBA has a lower ceiling than any overseas leagues, so a good WNBA player can make more overseas than in the US. Some of the highest paying leagues are in China, Russia and Turkey. Some of the European teams may or may not pay more per month, but total money would benefit from the longer season.
