I dated a girl in college that played basketball, and I'd go to lots of her games. I got to appreciate the cerebral style of play in the women's game - lacking the physical ability to dominate an opponent with slam dunks means setting up a shot, passing the ball around, positioning for rebounds all become the focal point of the game. Then the WNBA came out and I thought 'ok, maybe this will be like women's college basketball but more polished and talented players?' Nope - they scoured the globe for any and every physically freakish woman they could find, basketball skills be damned, and their 'star' player their inaugural season was some 7 foot 300+ pound genetic freak from China, 'Ming Ching Lee' whose genetic malfunctioning also made her borderline retarded. So they made it the same as the NBA in terms of not needing any skill beyond physically overpowering the opponent, except the talent was a thousand times worse.
Did that actually happen or are you saying the still would? Highschool probably unless you mean like a national highschool team. A men's d3 college team for sure could destroy a WNBA team thought
True! I remember the Canadian Women's Hockey Team that won at the Olympics going on a goodwill tour of Canada and playing men's high school teams - they got throttled by all of the men's teams, which is even worse when you consider that the men's teams rotated everyone on the team to get some playing time, even guys who wouldn't get on the ice against other high school teams. I do enjoy women's sports - without the aspect of physical mismatches and dominating power, it forces the games to be something more in tune with what they're supposed to be - strategy, teamwork, patience and execution.
WNBA is all freak beasts, not "girls."
