I am still trying to understand the purpose of the article. It was so short, I assumed that I had to click a button to read the rest of it. He starts with a premise that trolls think they can beat WNBA players. He has two quick quotes from one WNBA and one college practice squad guy. Then, the article just ends. Is the goal to convince the public that the best female basketball players in the world are so good that they can beat average, amateur males? Congrats?

These are well above average men’s players. They aren’t the equivalent of a random team of tigerdroppings posters. But these guys are far from as good as NBA players.
Due to the way the bell curve works, the difference between the 99th percentile of men’s basketball players (which is what these guys are) and the 99.999th percentile of basketball players (NBA players) is much bigger than the difference between, say, the 99th and 98th percentile of male players. In fact, I think the difference between the 99.999th and 99 percentiles is bigger than the difference between the 99th and 1st percentiles.
