Finals Preview! Spurs vs Heat

Sorry for the Downtime fans but here's Triple Double ready to get Back on all your sports blogging needs! So to our right we have Miami 66-16 (First seed in East) Awesome Team, 2 very good players and well...Lebron who is in His own category lol. And to our left we have San Antonio 58-24 (Second seed in West) very Cohesive team, 2 stars and can do just about anything right. This is going to shapeup to be , I think a very entertaining matchup and one for the ages.But the Most Important Matchup will be LeBron James vs. Kawhi Leonard. Help Defense needs to be there for Kawhi. No one can man stops LeBron James but he can surely make his scoring more difficult . Kawhi Leonard will be the best defender LeBron will see these postseason, and if Leonard can just make LeBron have to really work for his points This matchup will be interesting.

Panthers WR Steve Smith on Mark Sanchez

Its been a rough offseason Mark Sanchez first Tim Tebow's quarterback coach called Sanchez 'fragile-minded' then the Jets drafted Geno Smith and let not forget about Sanchez hearing handbands to practices. Now Panthers WR Steve Smith gives his own quick one sentence assessment of Sanchez.

"He sucks. I wouldn't let Mark Sanchez throw me a paper bag sandwich," Smith said while co-hosting a radio show in Charlotte on Wednesday.

Sanchez responded to Smith comment on his Twitter page by simply saying "I wish him and his team a healthy, successful season." 

If Sanchez can win the Jets starting quarterback job and then hold on to it for 14 weeks, he could be Jets' starter when the Jets travel to Carolina in Week 15.

So circle Dec. 15 on your calendar because that's when Sanchez will throw five interceptions and have one butt fumble.

NBA salaries vs WNBA salaries

SI.com came out with the "Fortunate 50" a list of the 50 highest earning athletes of 2012 that combines the athletes' salary, winnings and endorsements throughout the past year. 

Of the 50 on the lists 13 were NBA basketball players with LeBron James coming in at No. 2 with $56.5 million dollars of total earning. Kobe Bryant came in at No.4 with $46.8 million dollars of total earning. Other NBA notables were Derrick Rose at No.7, Dwayne Wade at No. 11, Kevin Durant at

 No. 12, and Carmelo Anthony at No. 16. 

And for the fifth consecutive year the with no female athletes on the list.

So what the WNBA season beginning next month it got me wondering why how much do WNBA players get payed compared a NBA players?

The average salary for a NBA player is about $5 million dollars and average salary for a WNBA player is about $72,000 dollars. The NBA's minimum salary for a rookie is about $470,000 and for a WNBA rookie is about $35,000 dollars just about as much as a teacher makes.

Kobe Bryant made $27.8 million dollars just from his NBA salary last year in 2012. Tina Charles, the reigning WNBA MVP, can earn the league maximum of $105,000 dollars per year that’s just barely over six figures. 

Candace Parker now makes anywhere between $750,000 dollars to $1 million dollar each year but that includes her salary, sponsorship,endorsements and playing overseas.

The average NBA team's salary cap is about $55 million dollars for a WNBA team about $891,000 a role player coming off the bench in the NBA makes more money than that year.

Granted the WNBA has only been around for 17 years so they need more time to grow but the WNBA needs to get more high profile people in ownership especially women like Oprah or Beyonce. Even someone like LeBron who already is part of the Liverpool soccer club or Magic Johnson who is part owner of the L.A. Dodgers should get involved with a WNBA teams.

With players like Candace Parker and Skylar Diggins that young, beautiful, great players who be marketed very easily its going to interesting to see how the WNBA grows in the next few years. 

Here's Skylar Diggins at the Tulsa Shock’s Media Day. Would kill to be that reporter!
