Women's basketball has gained greater attention through professional leagues, international tournaments, college basketball, and increased media coverage. What factors are driving that growth? What could leagues and governing bodies do to keep attracting new fans while creating more opportunities for players?

I think better media coverage and more accessible games have made a huge difference. Star players, competitive international tournaments, college rivalries, and growing professional leagues are bringing in new fans. More investment in youth programs, facilities, player development, and broadcasting could keep that momentum going while creating better opportunities for women players.
