Obviously yes. On youtube there is video's of the Australian women's soccer team who was top-5 in the world at the time, scrimmaging against a run of the mill local boys U-16 team, and losing 7-0.

Of course they would, but why compare the two?
The men play their game and the women play theirs.
No need to disparage the women by stating the obvious. We all know men are better athletes
Because when UConn women won 100+ games in a row, people (read: ESPN) were trying to act like they broke UCLA's record when they'd go 0-30 against UCLA's schedule.

An average boys high school team can beat a pro womans basketball team.
Uswnt soccer got crushed 5-0 to high school boys team in a warm up a few years back that team won the world cup.

Way to compare apples to watermelons. Dumb debate.

a mediocre 6-5 high school male would be the hands down GOAT women's player

Absolutely
An elite AAU HS boys squad would CRUSH a WNBA all star team. I’d go so far as to say that, if the boys pressed the whole game, the WNBA team would struggle to get the ball past halfcourt consistently. Score would be something like 120-20.

Yeah, I feel like this doesn't get murky until you say something like low to mediocre HS school squad v UCONN women.

height matters. UConn women literally could not handle a mediocre male who is 6-3 to 6-4
that makes a 2-3 zone super effective

Can confirm women’s soccer sucks. My friends travel team u15 from Boca beat Canada’s women’s team in a short scrimmage.

Of course, this match against the academy team was very informal and should not be a major cause for alarm. The U.S. surely wasn’t going all out, with the main goal being to get some minutes on the pitch, build chemistry when it comes to moving the ball around, improve defensive shape and get ready for Russia.
It also speaks highly of the level of academy development MLS teams are doing these days.
More deflecting. The media just hates reality if it doesn't reflect what they want reality to be.
The best women's soccer team on the planet and it was like playing against children for male teenagers.

It’s a comparable accomplishment.
UCLA men dominated their peers. UConn women did the same. UConn’s accomplishment against other women isn’t diminished because St. Aug’s boys team would beat them by 50. You’re comparing two different things.

Uhh, yeah, easily. An elite boys high school basketball team would beat any women’s team in the world. WNBA, Olympics, etc... doesn’t matter. And it wouldn’t be close.

Zion is what 19? Maybe 18. Last year he was in HS. Imagine him in HS. No women could come close to touching that kind of athleticism. Now he’s rare, but still.

It is a different achievement. Not particularly comparable because the quality and depth of different sports is just too different.
You can't even evenly compare men's basketball from different eras and the talent and depth are much more similar.

Yeah it is because there are TONS of D1 male basketball talent to make parity a supposed reality.
It wasn't like UCLA was sending everyone to the NBA and no other school could find a kid to play in the NBA.
There's no reason UCLA's dominance should have ever happened given all the talent out there...and great schools and competition like UNC, Indiana, UK, Duke, etc.
Once Pat Summitt retired, it was UCONN and everybody else.
There's not enough talent to go around the country. There just aren't that many good female basketball players...and there about 10 GREAT female basketball players in the entire country and UCONN gets 5 of them and 100 schools fight over the other 5.
That's why their tournament is a joke. Teams seeded #3 and below have no talent.
So it totally diminishes it when you really have minimal competition because the sport itself doesn't lend itself to parity like Men's CBB...with so many good players. Tons of players who make the NBA coming from fricking nowhere schools. There's NBA talent everywhere.
There's WNBA talent in Conneticut and a few select other places.

The semifinalist teams in every LA boys division could embarrass any women’s team in a variety of ways. If they wanted to press they’d win by 70+.
If they wanted to slow it down, the women couldn’t guard a guy who was even 6’2” in the post.
The rebounding differential would be astounding.
Are they playing with the men’s ball or the women’s. If it’s the men’s ball the women would shoot 20% worse than usual (not even factoring in that their shots would be way more contested than they are used to playing against other women). If they’re playing with the women’s ball random white kids from Newman will be throwing down dunks like 2001 Vince Carter.

FWIW,
6-7 guys that were about 4 years older than us my senior year of high school, played a pick up game against the Nicholls womens team and won by like 20. And they were all 3-4 years moved from high school and every day training/practice. So yes a playoff hogh school team would likely beat just about any womens team

If it was a Men's ball they'd struggle to shoot 5%. (frick 20%) some men's CBB teams have games where they shoot 20%.
If it was the women's ball the guys would be fricking Larry Bird. We played a game once in H.S. as a goof with a women's ball and everyone was making everything...the hoop seemed like a giant barrel and if the ball didn't go in at first, it would hang around the rim and fall in.
