it's very interesting you say that.

I'm not the poster you were responding to, but I also played pickup ball in the Field House back in the 80s and played once against Joyce Walker. In fact, I'm a guard so I guarded her.

Now, I'll admit she was better than I expected, but she was an All-American and I was just a high school player, but she didn't get the better of me.

So your assertion that a current WBB player would embarrass someone in one-on-one, well, I guess that depends on the guy. If the guy was even a decent high school player, well, I'd put my money on the guy.

And by the way, that's not a shot at the women. It's just different - much like the boys high school team dominating the US Women's Soccer team.

Men are bigger, stronger, faster, and can jump much higher. Those are just facts.

I remember playing pickup in the Field House back then too .. not against Joyce but with Prop 48 Stanley Roberts. He was OK. I dunked on him (in my dreams). :)

if we get to use those little volleyballs that they use for basketballs we’d be dunking over dem biches with a ball in each hand

My buddy played in a pickup game with Rudy Macklin in early 80s. Rudy came down on my buddy's foot and twisted his ankle. My buddy thought he ruined Rudy's pro career.
