I never got the people that view these things as some sort of "victory" for women's causes. If you let her play in the NBA, then you gotta let men play in the WNBA. Could you imagine the influx of men who never made it in the pros just joining the WNBA? Women wouldn't be able to compete in either league then.

I dont see here beating out NBA caliber men for minutes in an NBA game.. I just dont see it.

But **** it, give her a shot.

I don't follow you. Are you saying that one league should be open to both sexes while the other is exclusive to one?

NBA players would embarrass her if she even got a tryout. It wouldn't be pretty. I don't see why she would even want to do something like that.

Same as Cuban. Cash in on some gimmick action.

Brendan08901 04-03-2013 10:33 PM

Makes sense guys. carry on...

RedDread 04-03-2013 10:48 PM

Absolutely let her try out. I'll watch that summer league game, but holy shit this is a terrible idea. This won't be a Billie Jean King moment in the least.

I've pretty much lost a lot of respect for Cuban after these last 2 years. He breaks up a Championship team to free up money for Williams then misses his visit because he had to shoot Shark tank. Now this publicity stunt. No way this she male can play in the NBA. You couldn't be more obvious with your attention whoring.

Hootie 04-03-2013 11:49 PM

Mark Titus would skunk Griner at a game of 1 on 1.

She couldnt play in D2 let alone the NBA. This isnt tennis or golf here. Only major sport I see a woman playing could be baseball as a slap hitter (honestly surprised there arent any) or as a kicker in the NFL but it would hafta just be FGs cuz she would get demolished in special teams running down the field.

Ppl that think she can make it against the men have obviously not played against a supposed upper level womens bball team. When I was a freshman in HS we scrimmsged against the #4 ranked varsity girls bball team. Keep in mind we were fr and had TWO freshman teams. I expected them to beat us handily. They didnt. We beat them by 60 and we played the scrubs most of the game. Ever since then ive never had the same view of womens athletics.

there is not a single girl in the WNBA that could play division 1 men's basketball
