re: Ice Cube offers Caitlin Clark $5 million to play in the BIG3

she would get owned in every way

"All she would have to do is sit on the perimeter and shoot threes"
nope, the only way that works is she plays on a team with someone that absolutely has to be double teamed. Otherwise whomever is guarding her is never giving her space to shoot. She cant drive by anyone and finish anything so crowd her and she is useless

"She would get abused on the block"
These arent washed up rec league guys or college kids paid to scrimmage the Iowa women. These are former NBA players. She can't handle any of them anywhere. Remember Scalabrine telling the HS kid at the Health Club Gym "In skills and ability, I am closer to Lebron than you are to me" I may suck compared to an NBA Player, but you suck compared to me

Scalabrine says in the video, its not just the physical skills it takes to stick in the League it is the thinking part as well. You have to be able to see tendencies and tells and react to them.

Take for example a 42 year old Leandro Barbosa of the Ball Hogs. He is 6'3 so not much advantage in height. He had a major injury last year, so he is a good bit slower than he was. He is not much of a an offensive player so she would be serviceable guarding him unless he took her to the post. He is 20 years older than her. But he is so much more experienced, seasoned and physically stronger than her she would not have room to breath.

she isnt especially fast or strong or even quick. Maybe she has a distinct cardio advantage but since its half court, that advantage doesn't really matter much. I dont think she can even get away from guys to shoot and she is shooting a men's sized ball so some of her muscle memory is going to be off. I thinks she would be a novelty and the guys would take it easy on her to not embarass her but she would be a non-factor
