Would you rather be the best player in the WNBA or a bench warmer in the NBA.  (this is not to much unlike my NIT vs NCCA question) 

Brittney Griner may very well have that choice: be the best or at least one of the best WNBA players or sit on the bench for the Dallas Mavericks only playing in the pre-season and garbage time (but selling more jerseys than any other reserve player in the NBA)

My advice is she should be the best player in the WNBA rather than be an NBA side show.

Best in the WNBA.   She would only be in the NBA as charity.  She couldn't make a roster on her merits alone -- it's not even a matter of talent.  It's that she's not big or strong enough for that particular position.

If you're ever going to have a woman be able to compete in the NBA, it would be a guard -- someone who was quick and could shoot.

Without a doubt - Bench Warmer in the NBA.  Make more money.  And for the few minutes of garbage time you play, you will be playing in front of more fans in one game than an entire WNBA season of obscurity.

Um, the best player in the WNBA (particularly over a long period of time) has a pretty good chance of being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, so I'll take the former going away.

bench warmer in the NBA. 

If I play in the WNBA, I'm not a guy anymore.  I really like peeing standing up and am kind of attached to my testicles/penis.

I think the question is being posed to a hypothetical woman, as men are specifically barred from playing in the WNBA but women are not barred from playing in the NBA.

I think BigDaddyFin knew that and was just being a wise ass.
