Agreed. A freak male athlete that has never played basketball would be able to compete fairly damn well in a womens college basketball game. However, in sports like golf or tennis a freak male athlete would still get smoked by a woman if they never played

This might sound crazy at first, but lets say Patrick Peterson's twin brother with the exact same size and metrics decided to play basketball, but literally could only make layups and shots within 5 feet of the rim.

Even with his athleticism (99.999% percentile of all humans on the planet) he wouldn't make a D-league roster. However, if he played one season in the WNBA he would win MVP and would probably average a triple-double (points, rebounds, steals, maybe even blocks too).

That is how big the difference in athleticism is between men and women at elite levels of basketball.
