On Tuesday and Wednesday, the New York Liberty Women\u2019s National Basketball Association (or WNBA) team will be playing against the Los Angeles Sparks on a basketball court that\u2019s covered in Xbox logos and console-inspired designs. Microsoft says<\/a> that it\u2019s the league\u2019s \u201cfirst gaming-inspired basketball court,\u201d with the area under the net made to look a bit like the ventilation holes in the Xbox Series X. <\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s also a \u201cmetaverse\u201d tie-in as well \u2014 the court has been recreated in the Dunking Simulator Roblox experience. While the gameplay doesn\u2019t look quite as realistic as something like NBA 2K<\/em>, it could be fun for those of us who won\u2019t be able to attend one of the actual games.<\/p>\n

\nSomething tells me this isn\u2019t <\/em>quite how it\u2019s done in real life.<\/em>

Microsoft says it\u2019ll donate up to $50,000 to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation or Girls Who Code, giving $10 to one of the foundations for each submission to its Power Her Dreams site<\/a>, as part of its goal<\/a> to bring more attention to women in sports and gaming.<\/p>\n

A report from The Guardian<\/em><\/a> last year highlighted how women are massively underrepresented in the list of top earners in esports, and players in the WNBA are paid far less on average<\/a> than their NBA counterparts. WNBA players have just started to appear<\/a> on the cover of the popular NBA 2K<\/em> video game series in the past two years after the league was added to<\/a> NBA 2K20<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
