Mark Cuban may draft Brittney Griner
LOS ANGELES -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban would be willing to give Baylor women's star Brittney Griner the opportunity to prove she could play in the NBA.
Cuban said he would consider selecting Griner, a 6-foot-8 three-time All-American and Big 12 player of the year, in the second round of the NBA draft. If the Mavs don't draft her, Cuban said he would have "no problem whatsoever" inviting Griner to try out for a spot on Dallas' summer league team.
"If she is the best on the board, I will take her," Cuban said before the Mavs' Tuesday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers. "I've thought about it. I've thought about it already. Would I do it? Right now, I'd lean toward yes, just to see if she can do it. You never know unless you give somebody a chance, and it's not like the likelihood of any late-50s draft pick has a good chance of making it."
Griner dominated women's college basketball with her size and athleticism, scoring 3,283 points and blocking 748 shots in her career. She also had 18 dunks, including 11 her senior season.
A woman trying out for an NBA team is not unprecedented. Former UCLA star Ann Meyers tried out for the Indiana Pacers in 1979.
Cuban said it's difficult to evaluate whether Griner could play in the NBA because of the caliber of her compe ion, comparing it to scouting players from small schools. However, Cuban said he was absolutely serious about at least extending an invitation for Griner to try out this summer.
"She'd still have to make the team," Cuban said. "I'm not going to carry her just to carry her. I don't think, anyways. But I certainly wouldn't be opposed to giving her the opportunity."
Cuban acknowledged that Griner playing in the NBA's Las Vegas summer league would have tremendous marketing potential.
"It would, wouldn't it? See how she could do?" Cuban said. "That'd sell out a few games."

What if Vince Carter ed that chick? Would it be considered a crime against children?
Having pussy around 24/7 might be good for these s tbh.
So why not draft Curry?
This is what the 2011 World Champions ** Mvs have resorted to?

They already have one tall pussy. They don't need another.
Anyhow, Griner's response "Mavs? no"
I didn't even think it was possible to have a women in the nba wt![]()
They already have Dirk
Lakers have Pau too
There's absolutely no reason to think she'd add something to an NBA team and she'd be getting a tryout over hundreds of male players who have a greater than 0% chance of making the NBA. All Cuban would be doing is opening up a huge feminazi can of worms. He'd hugely regret it after feminazis started coming out in droves to protest in front of AA arena before games because the sexist Mavpricks cut Griner in the preseason.
Remember when that gook Mic e Wie was the great hope for female athletes then got a train run on her in the PGA tour events she competed in? This would be 1000x times uglier than that.
The only reason it's possible is people like Cuban bending over backwards to give a woman a chance when a male player of comparable talent wouldn't even be on an NBA team's radar.
The way that ugly looking beast fell apart because the Louisville players werebig meanies
to her should tell you enough about how she'd do in the NBA.
sounds as lame as drafting women to the military tbh. s would be distracted in the locker room or elsewhere being with a that keeps giving out feminine scent through perspiration, its for a similar reason why boys don't work as good as es in hs, despite being inbornly smarter and superior than them es
Griner's a man anyway, so it's no big deal, tbh![]()
and he's from houston, which makes perfect sense tbh.
This is something else, past one and done. I'm leaving up to you clever minds to come up with it.
Could you imagine what Reggie Evans would do to her when battling for a rebound? She is a great player, but this is beyond silly. Although I would like to see the typical "whatever"guy face after she blocks someone.
Not even she would join that hole
mavs
she looks like Carmelo Anthony's brother, tbh..
Why? Don't they already have enough around.
