2k Sports presented this Tuesday in Madrid the new NBA 2K20, the historical video game of the brand that this year comes full of new features, among which the inclusion of the American women's basketball league, the WNBA, stands out in a clear gesture towards a hobby that had been asking for equality for several years, also on the console.

Users, in addition to using LeBron James or Stephen Curry , can also play with Brittney Griner or Liz Cambage , stars of a women's league in which Amaya Valdemoro played, present this Tuesday in Madrid: "The game is clear that more children play that girls, and putting the women's league looking for a little market. What is clear is that we both benefit, women's basketball and videogames. I had to get there, "he explains to EL MUNDO.

Valdemoro believes that the great teams of the Endesa League "must" create a women's section. "I do not invite you. You must do it. I believe that in the future it will happen, that society will demand it and you will be forced. It is in the hands of the club presidents."

The former player praised the results of the Spanish women's basketball team, and lamented the "luck" that football counterparts are having, which seems to be receiving more income and interest this year than their teammates. "With all the pull that football has, many steps are going to be skipped, they are already doing it. They are lucky and have to take advantage of it. At the level of results we are (those of basketball) light years away, but football in Spain devastates. Barcelona or Atlético have a section, Madrid is creating it ... When there is a Madrid-Barca I am convinced that many will not even know who the players are, but they will have the opportunity to demonstrate their potential, they have won all that. That doesn't happen in women's basketball. Valencia has a section and Unicaja is doing it, but Madrid and Barca don't have it, "he says.
