Alright guys, so it's summer right? And there's nothing on TV except...the WNBA. Well I've been watching a few of the games recently, and I expected to be humbled by how good the women were and for my per-conceived mindset about how bad the WNBA was to be changed. But I was wrong.
Not only do they lack athleticism and quickness, but the myth about them being superb shooters is also way off base. I watched the games in disbelief of how bad they were. I came away thinking: My God. Could these teams even beat a high-school team?
And so I typed it in on google: Could a Mens High-School team beat a WNBA team? The responses were split around 50/50...but the people who said that a High-School team could win said it would take a High-School All-Star team or a team led by a future NBA star such as Lebron in order to get it done. This left me laughing out loud.
I really hope people know that every single player on a good Mens High-School basketball team is more athletic, quicker, and frankly, better than the average WNBA player. Pretty much everyone on a Mens HS BB team can dunk too. But for me, the overwhelming evidence that a Mens HS BB team would DESTROY a WNBA team is this: On the defensive side of the ball, their athleticism would almost completely negate any strengths the women have on the offensive side of the ball. The women simply wouldn't be able to score as much. Watching the games and the way they shoot (practically from their chest) it seems as if almost every other shot would get blocked.
So I don't think they would stand a chance. Against practically any good or even average Mens HS BB team. Miraculously, I'm in the minority here I know, but what do you guys think?
