    No. Same rules. If I have a daughter I want to be able to say she can thrive in sports if that's what she wants to do aside from no one watching her games and graduating college as a softball player and only being able to find coaching jobs or training for the Olympics which are every four years.

    The NBA keeps trying to shove the WNBA down everyone's throat even though nobody wants to watch. This is the plan:

    Mandate one woman per NBA roster to start with and add one more each year until the NBA is an all-women's league.

    Mission accomplished.

    Why a woman player necessarily? Why not a mandatory player from India? Or mandatory high school player? Or mandatory YMCA player?

    The main point is that the woman would get NO playing time. You think Cavs and Warriors are having women on the court closing out games the Finals?

    It assumes you can get 32 women capable of playing within the 450 league spots. Its more like you can find another 4500 other men BEFORE getting capable 32 women. Save the participation awards for youth leagues.

    The best players of the WNBA are better than most of these bench players.

    I wasn't aware there was a rule preventing an woman from playing in the nba. If there was a great enough female player she would probably find her way to the nba.

    Your stupid. The best wnba player is 6'7 and can barely dunk when. She's open. She also gets locked down by little white girls from time to time. All men's college players could beat her and most high school boys too.

    She's the best because of her height?

    Harrison Barnes would be the best player in the WNBA.

    A college all-star team would beat a WNBA all-star team.

    Of course. In a competitive game sure. But the best players in the WNBA joining the NBA is a real possibility.

    Stephanie Curry is a good example of how this could work, just shoot threes, never go in the lane, and don't play defense. WNBA players can do that

    I swear! There are some stupid a$$ ppl out there. This is seriously one of the top 3 dumbest ideas ever. Women cannot compete with men. A high school varsity team can beat the Top WNBA team. A JV team would be about the same level. When you're watching WNBA games, you are essentially watching JV basketball.

    WNBA all stars vs college all stars, close game. High school, really? Nah.

    This is how 95% of guys think once you get passed the fake chivalry to get some cookies.
