But to your other point, the difference in skill between male and female basketball players is insane.


She’d have to get used to a bigger ball, and I’m not sure how difficult that transition would be. However, I’m not sure how big the skill differential would be in her case. If she can simply get open (?) she can knock down 3s as good as most men, and her passing game is better than most men’s. She certainly won’t be able to rebound and play in the paint.

Publicity stunt, gets people talking about BIG3 but probably never happens.

I’ve never watched a big 3 game but would if she played. It’s a win for cc, cube and me for entertainment purposes.

I wonder if she’s going to have a pregnancy clause.

Just the opposite. She would destroy them.

Her real risk is if she has any noteworthy marketing potential

If she could be the face of not just the nba but women’s sports, getting wrecked by these guys would hurt that.

No idea what people like rapinoe make in endorsements, speaking, etc… but even that’s kind of a unicorn earning potential (don’t hang on Rapinoe specifically, just throwing the first random household name out there)

When can we stop pretending we GAS about women's basketball, pro or college?

If I was Cube, I would take the small rivalry Clark and Reese built in last year's tournament, offer Reese a contract as well and sort of use it the way Bird & Magic's rivalry helped the NBA (although they only disliked each other for the first 2 or 3 years and ended up becoming good friends).

On this board, when LSU isn’t relevant, which could be quite some time. At the same time, we have once credible news outlets that put out so-called hit pieces on all kinds of people. Now these same people are targeting the coach of LSU Women's Basketball, simply because she doesn’t kiss arse. All that does is rile people up and give her more supporters, while at the same time increasing the popularity of Women's Basketball because now people have a reason to care.

I would watch this. The spin / mental gymnastics people would have to do to explain her getting wrecked would be incredible.

If she could shoot a mens ball well that would actually be sick to see

Do it.

Profit over the simps paying money to see her pull a shirt over her shoulder.

Watched two guys in a bar on Monday night go nuts every time she touched the ball. I almost left the bar but the beer was free so I tolerated their shite.

That money only goes so far before the parents figure out that it’s time for the offspring to venture out into the real world.
