How do you think you would fare on a women's college bball team?

I'm 6'6" and 260 lbs and 38, in relatively good shape. Never played basketball as a kid, picked it up as an adult and am not great. I think I would be the best player on the the court between both teams.

Anyone else feel like they'd make the starting 5 on any team in the country?

You might think you're in good shape but you couldn't handle running full court for long.

I think most men that played in high school (and were ok) would have a place simply due to size and strength.

6’-6” and 260 with guy strength? That would be dominant.

I’m 6’-3”, 195 and 46 years old, played high school ball (Lester Earl knocked us out of the playoffs my junior year in OT if I remember right). I still play ball a few times a week and intramural ball (military) and I think I could create space, elevate and get my shot off at will over any WBB college player. Fairly sure I could start but not sure I wouldn’t get winded.

At 6’6 260 lbs, a player should score every possession. No player is close to that big in women’s basketball.

You know those people who say "Bama could beat the Browns!" or whatever?

You're acting like one of those people with this post

If we are picking teams and its you along with the girls college all-american team to choose from, I'm taking you sight unseen.

It’s not just height and weight. Some of this shite is your IQ. I’ve never seen so many head scratching plays in my life. Women’s basketball is very low IQ.

That's the other part of it. They just make absolutely bone-headed decisions. I truly believe I could score pretty regularly as I'd have a 8-12 inch advantage over most players along with probably 120 pounds weight advantage on average. I'd probably get worn out on defense, but they can't dribble nearly as well as men and they definitely don't shoot well so they'd have to play close to the basket where I'd have a huge advantage.

5'10" 220. 50 years old. I believe I could shoot 17% from 3, I would also set the tone defensively by fouling out in 10 minutes of playing time. I would be a good teammate with an unwavering positive attitude.
