any 5A or high level 4A high school basketball team could beat a WNBA team, neither of us can prove it either way but whatever agree to disagree. I know athleticism doesn't mean everything but an example of the difference between hs bball and a girls team is... Throughout history the ENTIRE WNBA has had about 2 or 3 women at the most that can dunk. I'd say each average large high school varsity team has at least 3 or 4 and for the better teams maybe even 6 or 7 people on the team that can dunk. When there is that big of a discrepancy in size and athleticism, I don't care how well you can shoot or pass, you will not be able to get a decent shot up and forget trying to hold it down on defense. The more I think about it a large high school varsity would probably BLOW OUT a typical WNBA team without griner or leslie or those tall legends
maya moore, lisa leslie, candace parker, georgeann wells, and britney griner are the only women to dunk in history and 3 of them are retired. You have 2 or 3 times as many dunkers on one typical high school team as the entire WNBA, and the average height is probably at least 3 inches taller too. How is this a conversation
Obviously, you're a flamer. We can all tell by your extensive knowledge of the WNBA. Is this you? <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/osBXvykXktE?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/osBXvykXktE?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> too bad about the audio
Neither would work, the international because of the travel and I'm sorry but women would get seriously hurt playing in the NBA. The idea that Stern is even contemplating it casts doubts upon his sanity.
If the longest flight in the future takes only 1 hour, I will be glad to watch NBA as an international league which allows me to see it LIVE finally!
There is nothing preventing women from playing in the NBA right now, is there? Other than not being good enough I mean.
dang i didn't realize you sat at my lunch table in 5th grade when we came up with calling something gay as an insult.
i thought it was just a diss me and my classmates from the 12:30 lunch period knew about but I guess the secret is out. the internet is a great place for you, you can try out original stinging insult concepts with impunity and your friends can have 37" standing verticals, anything is possible here!
ya but you must have subconsciously remembered sitting near me in 5th grade at lunch because that is the only way you could have learned such vicious clever teasing. You might not have heard about this but one time we came up with this ultimate diss that i think you could use to really take a few jerks on the internet who you have never met and never will meet down a notch. Interested? nvm silly question, obviously you are, forum badasses like you would never miss out on a tip like this. So here it is... whenever someone says something that is making you angry, just say the exact thing back to them. Yes it sounds simple and you may be tempted to reverting to calling them gay instead, but trust me this will annoy them much, much more. This technique has won me many fights and i hope one day it may even gain me as many as 3 green dots on this very bbs, but I'm telling it to you because i have seen your potential to make fun of people in your previous posts and needless to say I am impressed. PS: don't tell your nba combine record breaking athlete friend this secret, he is gifted enough as it is so lets not give him all the cards in life
International NBA would be awesome. But the practicalities of playing inter-continentally makes it almost impossible. I'd love to see the day the NBA Finals winner plays the FIBA Finals winner for the ultimate "World Championship"
hey man the internet is actually a terrific place to improve self esteem! Believe it or not, you are off to a great start by criticizing a random person's posts. If you implement my techniques and maybe a little of your own revolutionary "your homo" jabs your internet confidence will skyrocket and who knows, maybe someday it will even translate to the real world! keep me posted. ohhhhhkay. me wondering how performing a 5 second google search on the number of dunkers in the WNBA to illustrate a point in a thread about women potentially playing in the NBA warrants a pathetic attempt at humor/insult, keeps getting me wondering how performing a 5 second google search on the number of dunkers in the WNBA to illustrate a point in a thread about women potentially playing in the NBA warrants a pathetic attempt at humor/insult.
Please, no women in the NBA. Just trying to watch WNBA is awful, the difference in athleticism/skill is night and day. Even if women were allowed, I'm not sure they would make the team, much less be rotational players. This is not me being sexist, it's just a fact. Also, no "overseas" teams. It would be rediculously inconvenient for the team to travel constantly 'cross the pond to play most of the other teams. Also I would hate to be watching games at odd times, keep all teams in North America. I'd be fine with a Mexican team, or more Canadian teams (Vancouver needs a team, that's a fine city IMO) but it'd just be a hassle to try to incorporate teams from different hemispheres.
I'd like to see some super league, like soccer where the best teams in different countries' leagues compete.
