re: What really happens when WNBA players play men? Yahoo Article...

This thread is dumb.

Go watch an AAU 17 and under tourney. I was just at the Memorial Day Disney tourney cuz my daughter was in the tourney and those older boys FLY up and down the court. It looks like an entirely different game than a typical WNBA game.

It’s just a different level. I take my girl to a number of LSU women’s games and have seen them play final four teams.

It’s not the same.

Hell her coach is friends with Temeka Johnson. She’s been to some of the practices. She’s a WNBA champ and a WNBA rookie of the year.

She come up to my underarm bro. And I’m not even 6 feet tall

This dude and this article are a joke.

What defines “good athlete”? I don’t consider myself very athletic, but I’m 6’2 and I can dunk. That alone sets me apart from 99% of players on WNBA history.

If we're including everybody adult currently alive in male gene pool as the data set, then being 6'2" and able to dunk is far above average athletically. If I walk outside right now and just pick the next 5 guys I see (no matter age or what they do, or ever did, in life) and put them on the court against a WNBA team they will lose handily.

Rec league teams can probably hold their own against high-level women's players, but 99% of adult males aren't even rec league players.
