	Women's National Basketball Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Women's National Basketball Association or WNBA is an organization governing a professional basketball league for women in the United States.
		On February 15, 2005, NBA Commissioner David Stern announced that Donna Orender, who had been serving as the Senior Vice President of the PGA Tour and who had played for several teams in the now-defunct Women's Basketball League (WBL), would be Ackerman's successor as of April 2005.

	National Basketball Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1950, the NBA consolidated to eleven franchises, a process that continued until 1954, when the league reached its smallest size of eight franchises, all of which are still in the league (the Knickerbockers, Celtics, Warriors, Lakers, Royals/Kings, Pistons, Hawks, and Nationals/76ers).
		Through this period, the NBA continued to strengthen with the shift of the Minneapolis Lakers to Los Angeles, the Philadelphia Warriors to San Francisco, and the Syracuse Nationals to Philadelphia, as well as the addition of its first expansion franchises.
		Following the recent changes to the National Hockey League's scheduling format, the NBA is now the only major league in North America in which all the teams play each other during the regular season, and where a season ticket holder can see every team in the league come to town in any one season.

	USS Clueless - Equality of opportunity
		Basketball, by its nature, is a sport for men who are very tall, and Mexican-Americans average much shorter then the median.
		Professional Basketball is disproportionately made up of blacks and whites, because for historical genetic reasons the majority of men who are extremely tall come from those groups.
		There are fifty times as many people who'd like to play in the big leagues as there are positions to fill, and they select only the best, based pretty much solely on capability (and to a lesser extent on the rapaciousness of the demands by their agents).
