No, dunking wouldn't ruin the women's professional game, Margo. It might very well save it.

The WNBA is boring now, Margo, recount hearing on C-Span boring. Most WNBA games are one-sided affairs and even the NBA marketing machine realizes that a steady diet of the same three players isn't enough to sustain interest. The fans are realizing it, too: the league's attendance dipped to under 10,000 fans a game for the first time this year.

The WNBA needs something--anything--to attract fans now that the league's novelty is wearing off.

Margo, you could be the next big thing. The opportunity is there: Cynthia Cooper has retired, and the league is searching for new, exciting players to promote.

Imagine the publicity you'd get as the first woman ever to dunk in a professional game. When the commercials insist that WNBA players have "got game," a picture of your thunderous dunk over some poor member of the Miami Sol would be there to back it up. A lot of fans would think that the chance of seeing you dunk was worth the price of admission. I would.

Your career would take off. You'd be a real Star--not just the kind that ends with "zz." You could dunk and be a terrible player from that point on, and the fans would still vote you on to the All-Star team until you're 80.

Your fame would transcend the court. Just imagine the cereal boxes, the posters, the talk show appearances... You'd be a Top Ten List. It would never end.

Imagine what your dunk would mean for women's sports. It probably wouldn't rival Billie Jean King's victory in the Battle of the Sexes, but I think that your dunk would be much more compelling than Brandi Chastain ripping off her shirt after scoring in the Women's World Cup.
