re: Lack of parity in the Women's game

What she expressed, and I would have to agree is that largely women do not grow up playing basketball. Not like we do at least. Little boys have a tiny fisher price goal by age 5. Most of all males have played organized basketball at some point, even if it was at age 7. On the other hand, majority of women have not.

I don’t buy this. The reason women are bad at basketball is because they aren’t athletic. It requires running, jumping, shooting, and physical contact - things women generally aren’t built for. That’s really about it and has nothing to do with starting the game at age 8 as opposed to age 12.

Watching women play basketball is like watching men play it underwater.
