The stunt at the Aces game echoed former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom’s official declaration for the 2027 WNBA draft, where he claims eight male pros—two ex-NBA, three G League, three from Europe—are ready to identify as women and join unless the league defines ‘woman’ clearly. Freedom highlighted salary gaps, from G League’s $45,000 starts to WNBA’s $1.4 million tops, and joked about targeting Angel Reese if picked first overall. These satirical moves spotlight debates over self-identification rules in women’s basketball, with calls growing for the WNBA to clarify eligibility amid fairness concerns.
