Ever seen an athletic 7 foot man? Or course not. I don't care what they say about Durant. Dirk etc. They still aren't winning any agility contests. Their great talents are they are tall. Some are smart. And in the modern era they can shoot. And they are paid well. But ball handling? Perimeter defense? No. They run straight down the court and do their thing.
So why the analogy? Because any woman over about 6' or 6'3 is the same. And they can't jump. If a guy 7' could jump like Michael or Clyde? The dude would fly over the top of the backboard. Not only that. Women in gerneal can't jump.
So. To compete against a man 6' to 6'5 they will need equivalent size. But we know they can't move and they can't jump. Guys that size can be very very athletic. Leap. Reach. Change directions. Play in your face defense and stay with you step for step. You think a woman could play corner at any level?
And yeah. Several boys teams. Houston. And Australia. Have beaten top ranked women's teams. The women's high jump record was recently broken in the state of New Hampshire. 5'1. No joke. That's a record. I about fell over. I jumped that when I was 4'10 in like the 8th grade and was inspired by the Olympics and mom throwing out a mattress to briefly build a high jump pit in my back yard. I was great. Kinda. Did the Fosbury flop. And then one day I missed the mattress. That hurt. Decided I was done
Anyway. No. No chance. None. The only woman I ever saw who could compete with men. On any level. Ever. Was Cheryl miller. Greatest women's player ever. And it's not even close.
Cheryl Miller seems forgotten in the greatesttr womens hoopsters discussions. I mean, I'm no expert at women's hoops like PT is, but seems like she isn't really in the discussions. All but forgotten.
Agree with all of this....Gods plan apparrently. Is what it is.
I played horse with a starter from the womens BB player one FR am in Lyons Center. We used her ball. Man, I had a day. 😂🤦♂️ she averaged like 15 a game in the Pac. So she was decent. White girl.
Not a chance. A women's basketball is the size of a volleyball. They either are too slow unathletic or small to play actual defense. Look at a women's game for 5 minutes and tell me if you see a contested shot. A made contested shot. Half or more of them are shooting from the hip or the chest. Which makes them even shorter A man's wingspan and their shot positions make for lower shooting percentages and lots of blocks and steals.
Wow! The 3 pt line is 22 ft 1 3/4 inches in women's basketball and 23 ft 9 inches in the NBA except for the corners. Caitlyn looks to be about 12 ft behind the line, insane, what a shooter and the lift.
If you enjoy watching either sport. Sure. Like soccer. I find both to be great sports to play. Or watch kids play. But have little to no interest watching adults play.
That's what I thought.
Like when a high school boys soccer team literally embarrassed the woman's national team. sc
Do you think she could make a men's team?
It looks like SCs men's team could use a shooter. Not a basketball fan. Just wondering. sc
