I think I have 3 total posts in that 8-page thread, and not a single one of them is a defense of the WNBA

The real question that needs to be asked is if all of these WNBA coaches and players think they can play with men then why do we have a WNBA to begin with?

Isn’t the WNBA set up exclusively to SEPARATE women playing basketball from men playing basketball?

These people are beyond idiots.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all but my only thing with this match (that will never happen) is that the high school boys team would be paid by the NBA to lose on purpose.

This sort of ignorance is always hilarious.

What ignorance? I don't feel the need to have TikTok. I generally think TikTok is pretty stupid, and most of the people I've seen obsess about TikTok are teens and women.

BS…

She leads rebounding because, she doesn’t know what bottom of the net looks like. Read her stats…..

She could fall out a boat in the middle of lake and not get wet.

That’s how poor she scores as a pro.

This isn't about height. This is about professional skills vs high school skills. The talent disparity is obvious in those clips I posted


Sort of. It's about genetics. Post-puberty, males are generally taller, stronger, faster and have greater constitution than females. It's why a 15& Under boys soccer team was able to blow the socks off the US Women's Olympic Soccer team (and I think the same thing happened to an Aussie women's team as well).

An average player on a strong state-championship boys high school team is going to be about an inch or two taller the average WNBA player, with much greater absolute strength, superior linear speed, and higher aerobic capacity markers (VO2max) than the average WNBA player. Another important key to keep in mind on this is that WNBA players are going to be around the apex of their abilities while the boys will still be growing.

I don't think the girls could move the ball down the court.

Anyone who’s ever played coed knows that.

Girl will do something against 50% level effort male defender and talks too much. The guy, called out locks in on defense resulting in the woman not having the length, lateral athleticism or strength to function. Turnover after turnover.

A HS varsity team running a press would be unstoppable against what you see in that highlight film. The guards would be as almost as tall as the centers for the wnba and even the guys who were shorter would be elevating over the top of the women at will and beating them to spots for rebounds.

That doesn’t even get into them trying to get off shots once they break the press because if you don’t respect someone’s ability to drive by you it’s simple to prevent someone without any hops or length from getting quality looks.

Australia's women's soccer team lost 7-0 to a U15 boys team, and I think they might have been ranked #1 in the world at the time of the game. U15 really means 15 and under rather than under 15, but still.

Alas, high school is ages 14-18, so that actually was the younger high school aged people who the women Australia players lost to.

That's playing basketball while also trying to make sure your weave doesn't fall out.

Any 5A size school's basketball team would destroy a WNBA team. Maybe even a 4A and definitely some smaller schools too.

It's OK that you watch the WNBA. In fact, it's expected since you are a white liberal male who voted for Kamala
