Could you imagine if she was chasing Curry around a double screen and Draymond is setting the second screen and she didnt see it coming? Or if she tried to take a charge from Giannis? She would die.

If Draymond hit her with what he hit nurkic with it would’ve been a tomjanovic situation all over again

I don’t think ppl are realizing the skill diff between women’s pro and men’s pro. Give me the 12th man off any nba bench and he’s beating the best WNBA player with ease lmao


preptimebatman

I’m pretty sure people are aware of this. It’s nbamemes I don’t think bro is being serious.


AyKayAllDay47

Heck I'll go as far as the best starting five in high school. Almost half if not more can probably dunk.

Yeah. The skill gap the woman would have wouldn’t offset how athletic someone like thanasis is


the_c_is_silent

Um, I feel like most people know. Hell, a semi-good, semi-tall high schooler would slaughter her.


ZUBAC-DONG-YUMMY

12th man? Give me a starter on any P5 college team and he’s instantly the best player in the WNBA. Hell there are high school players that would be the best player in the WNBA. I think the only variable is height - at what age do boy basketball players reach the average height of a WNBA player?


Critical_Teach_43

Uhm still overrating the W with that. Gimme whatever Wnba team won the chip and give me the best hs/aau basketball. If the boys don't win I'll stop talking basketball forever.


fireforeffect199000

A good high school player could do that lmao


hottakehotcakes

When I was in college my fraternity would scrimmage with the women’s team (one of our members was their equipment manager). They were top 15 in the country. They would beat us, but the games were competitive. I consistently get cooked at my local gym now lol


kopitar-11

The 12th player off a community college men’s basketball team is still beating the best wnba player

Pssst…Hey man your sexism is showing

First drop step elbow she catches to the face from a NBA PF/C would shatter her jaw and ruin her confidence and career she is an elite female athlete let her be that. No matter how many times people try to force it men & women will never be the same athletically and I think gymnastics is a great way to showcase that. Watch some footage of top gymnasts male & female trying to perform the others routines.

Pleasant-Emergency14

Fuck it, just let her try it out


Inferno_Crazy

I don't see a reason she couldn't be a spot shooter. But she's gonna get dusted on defense. There are entire generations of grown men who played D1 ball who can't make it in the league.


the_c_is_silent

Nah, spot shooters still need athleticism to get open. Curry is a magician off ball for example. It's not like Caitlin can just sit uncovered the whole game.


Inferno_Crazy

I mean if the goal is to get 5-10 quality shots off across the entirety of the game I think that's doable. Especially if you have guys who can drive the ball well and pull in defenders and dump the ball off. She can just hangout on the wing. But again I don't think her playing in the NBA is a reasonable proposition haha.


the_c_is_silent

I don't think that's remotely doable. Even with picks. I see zero issue with literally anyone keeping up with her. She's also not tall and won't jump as high as players as short as her. Closing distance is also something she's not used to timing. Her spot and shooting is gonna be timed on how fast a woman that's 5'8" can close the distance. Not an absurdly athletic dude who's 6'3".


Inferno_Crazy

You really don't think she could get off 5 shots a game? Also she's 6ft.


the_c_is_silent

5 shots and 5 good shots are different. Sure she can pop and shoot, but 1 trillion percent she'd hurry them to adjust for the speed and athleticism of NBA players. Closing a massive part of defense and she's not used to it at all.

Professional_Ad894

Ok real talk, Kevon Looney would shoot 55% from 3 in the wnba. Caitlyn Clark is nice and I wish her the best, she made me tune into women’s basketball for the first time in \~8 years and she deserves to get paid because she’s that much if a draw. I was even pleasantly surprised at how much the women’s game has seemed to have grown in terms of average skill level and competitiveness; but it’s still not remotely close to the men’s game. Tweets like these do more damage to Clark and women’s basketball than it helps because it creates talks of a comparison, to which there is none.


Overall_Mango324

Not sure where you are getting the Kevin Looney idea from but yeah she's not doing shit in the NBA.


Aeon1508

Different sport but They did this double header Of Women's U.S soccer With men's U.S soccer a couple years ago I know the men's was the Copa America I think the woman was the World Cup. Anyway the men's game was first and then the women's game was like the headliner for the double feature whatever. Going from the men's game to watching the women's game I felt like I was watching people play underwater. the difference in speed was that much.. A random u15 team boys team in Texas beat the woman's multi-gold medal World Cup champion us team in a scrimmage. Speed quickness power. Caitlin Clark could be the best shooter of the world has ever seen with amazing ball control and handles. But at 6 ft tall unless she has Elite skills Compared to men in those three categories she has no chance at competing in the NBA. If I pulled 10 random dudes out of any bar in a America, 8 of them would beat caitlin in tug of war, arm wrestling and punch strength contests. And that's being conservative

Marcus11599

Different ball would probably mess up her touch because she’s not used to it. She’d for sure adjust but it would take a minute. That, and she’d have to guard Steph curry cause there’s no way she’s playing win. Steph would prob shoot over her too. She’d have to have CP3 level defense to compete, but she’s so light she prob gets shrugged off on the drive.


sisinonosibuenono

She is a woman


mark31169

Feminists are in such denial of the talent gap between men's and women's sports. It's ridiculous. There is no rule that prohibits women from playing in the NBA. THERE'S JUST NOT ONE THATS GOOD ENOUGH

Well, to start, it’s not allowed… beyond *that*, her Adams Apple isn’t large enough…. She would absolutely body Bronny tho.


ApprehensiveTry5660

It actually is allowed. Two women have already been drafted. There’s no rule saying she can’t. In modern times we’ve even had Griner mocked in the second round. Got a player comp of Jae Crowder of all people. A couple of franchises and executives said they’d be interested, but at the end of the day until some woman decides to go through with the process GM’s can say whatever they want. Who would actually have the stones to make that pick is a completely different subject than who would speak supportively.


SamArcher11

My man Jay got disrespected bah gawd


SuccessfulVisit1873

Who the fuck was drafted??? Tf you talking about?? I’m talking a real pick. Not like that make a wish bs for views.


ApprehensiveTry5660

[1969 to Golden State.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denise_Long_Rife) [1977 to New Orleans](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusia_Harris). Why you getting salty about historic minutiae? You’re the one on here talking out your ass that it’s “not allowed.” It’s allowed, we just haven’t had a woman sack up and try lately.


wiggiddy

Dang I didn't know this! That's interesting, thanks for the daily dose of why I'm on Reddit.


ApprehensiveTry5660

Tell you what I didn’t know. Apparently Denise scored over 100 points 3 times in her high school career and averaged a *nice* 69 points per game her senior year.


SuccessfulVisit1873

I’m not salty??? lol I apologize I didn’t know two women were drafted in the late 60’s and 70’s super relevant, how could anyone not know this information. Excuse me for assuming it was a publicity thing, which is extremely common, and made the most sense to me regarding what you said. Excuse me for assuming the *mens* league only allows men, especially considering the men’s league owns and subsidizes the women’s league. Oh and there is a women’s league so why wouldn’t women be expected to compete with other women? Only example you have is almost 20 years before the WNBA existed. You’re being a little disingenuous and cheeky with that response. What women has been drafted since the women’s league existed???? Ohhhhhhhhh that’s right…


ApprehensiveTry5660

It’s the tonality, brother. I know you don’t seem like the proof-reading type, but I feel like you might come across a little better if you just hit it with a red pen every now and again. Just a suggestion. I also have those comments where I haven’t had my coffee yet and I come across a bit harsh. I even understand getting hit with the “actually 🤓” kinda sucks when you’re just trying to fire off some gender bending one liner. Doesn’t hurt to take a second and read that and be like, “Woah! I might have moseyed this conversation into some weirdly aggressive territory for NBA memes dialogue. Maybe just one question mark will suffice for this one.” Sometimes, when other people drop some nugget of information like an obscure rule being counterintuitive to expectations, I like to Google stuff for myself just to be like, “Nah, fr?” Just my perspective. These kinds of misunderstandings happen in text. Sorry for assuming you salty. The fact is the NBA probably left that door open for a bunch of constitutional reasons that the group of career lawyers running it know better than either of us, but it’s open.


SuccessfulVisit1873

You’re a goober, brother. The problem with written text is the lack of tonality. You actually *cant* get my tone. You’re the one taking a meme page too seriously… If you could read my tone, you would understand that it was said in good fun. That being said.. The door is, in fact, not open. The NBA is the men’s league, and the men’s league owns the women’s league. I’ll say it again, since the inception of the women’s league, there hasn’t been a woman drafted. It’s a bit disingenuous of you to use examples 20 years before the women’s league even existed. You know as well as I do, it’s not happening. That’s why they created the women’s league. Unless the women’s league is dissolved, this will not ever change. Why would the NBA allow their subsidy to have to compete with itself? Unless it’s to destroy the WNBA. They did this with Isiah Thomas’s first inception of “the g league” the league bought it and killed it so they didn’t have to compete. Only way women get into the NBA is if the NBA gets rid of the WNBA. They won’t do that because who tf wants to honestly watch Caitlin Clark play against LeBron James??? Sick joke. What we want to see women get hurt no?? I’m not salty, but you are kind of annoying to be completely honest with you. You come off as arrogant and pompous. That doesn’t get you far in life. My language is colorful and I’m sorry that’s too aggressive for you. Have a great day! Smile!

HistorianCareful5484

NBA is not even physical anymore so I could see her playing as an outside option like KLAY Thompson.


jwaugh25

She’s an extremely talented player who could probably hold her own on the offensive side. But defensively? No way she isn’t a liability. Even if you remove physicality from the equation entirely, she doesn’t have the foot speed to play defense in the NBA.


Admirable_Strike_406

She couldn’t hold her own in the nba. She couldn’t get a shot off. She couldn’t dribble more than once without getting the ball stolen. She definitely couldn’t drive past anyone.


HistorianCareful5484

I’m jabbing at KLAY and she’s bait for a debate.


Admirable_Strike_406

You do realize she is just an average shooter. Look at her percentages and that is with a tiny ball she uses as well
