    Cheryl Miller coached the WNBA All-Stars against the Team USA All-Stars on Saturday night, a game that ended with a 117-109 final score in favor of Miller's team.

    Miller, the sister of former NBA star and current NBA broadcaster Reggie Miller, did not mince words when asked to give her take on the WNBA's newest multi-billion dollar television rights deal.

    "I'm not great with numbers. Lowball," Miller said when speaking with reporters. "That's a lowball...Not enough. Not even close.

    "Now, I'm not trying to inflate it a whole lot, but a two is nice, an eight would be better (in terms of billions of dollars). That's what I'm talking about because they know."

    The NBA owns 60% of the WNBA and negotiated the newest deals. Its Board of Governors approved an 11-year, $76 billion deal , which would result in a $2.2 billion payout to the WNBA.

    Miller said the deal is an improvement, but pumped the brakes on her excitement.

    "We've certainly come a long way," Miller said . "I'm not about gouging, but it's a long time overdue, and we're going to continue to get better and better.

    "And all you have to do is look at college basketball and what's coming next."
