would be interesting to watch though amirite?

how has this not been done? you would think VS or Spike or some crap**** channel would set this up and promote the **** out of it and it would be a gigantic event. television executives are dumb.

Somehow I dont think the WNBA would approve^

500 is only 10 per state. I think 5,000 is probably closer.

I dunno. Any publicity can be good publicity, and it's not like the WNBA has much to lose.

I would love to see a series where they play the #1 boys team... then the #10 boys team... then the #100 boys team... then the #500 boys team. I wonder how far down the list till they won.

you guys are underestimating how hard it will be for the high school team to adapt when they have to deal with a person to person defense for the first time.

Yeah, a solid zone trap destroys teams when there is a huge athletic disparity.

I'm positive it's more than 2 or 3

lol person to person, nice

I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here, but lol women's basketball, the first 20 seconds of this video is the biggest amount of fail I've ever seen:

I actually searched for this thread just to post that video and someone already beat me to it.

OMG it's true! I thought it was a joke name, like Naughtius Maximus or Biggus Dikkus.

Interesting thread, a couple thing I know for sure.

- I went to a high school with 2000+ enrollment. Our men's team would not beat a WNBA team.

- Anyone saying an average 8th grade boy's grade team would beat an WNBA team is ******ed.

- There are PLENTY of high school men's team's that CAN beat a random WNBA.

- Off hand, Lisa Leslie, Candice Parker, Brittney Griner (Baylor), and Michelle Snow all can dunk. There's definatly more...

- WNBA players are a lot better than most people in this thread are willing to believe.

- No one in this thread could beat a WNBA player one on one.

If I was in shape I could beat a random WNBA player one on one.

Funniest part of this video is how invested the dude watching this game is for women's basketball. He better have money on that game, or else WTF is he doing? Did his remote's batteries run out and he has broken legs and thus is bed-ridden?

Someone posted about the mosh pit of rebounding in women's basketball, we get to see a perfect example of this in that first 20 seconds too.

In my country, football is the most loved and played sport. I have seen the top 2 female indoor football teams in the country play IRL in my town and I'm pretty sure I can pick 4 guys who are in my weekend matches to play with me and we would at the bare minimum put up a big fight against either one.

I'm guessing basketball is your equivalent to football when it comes to popularity amongst both genders, so I'm sure a good male high school team would destroy a WNBA team in a match.

Also, to whoever said that people have never heard the name of any chick player except for whoever 2 he listed: I have never heard of those 2, but I have heard of Ticha Penicheiro. I have never seen a WNBA match in my life (nor do I plan to, I struggle to pretend being interested in watching kobe or lebron jumping around lol)

I was with you until the last point where you crashed and burned...hard.

Betty Lennox. WNBA rookie of the year. And I didn't even play HS basketball.

Women's basketball is honestly not comparable to men's basketball.

WEEI sports radio recently was talking to a practice player with the UCONN 70+ win streak team, and he said that when he was playing hard against the women he was literally "unguardable."

It is just so other-worldly different.

lol at nobody being able to beat any of the individuals in the WNBA one on one.

on a mens official ball that # would be way small. Are people forgetting that if they played women would shoot way worse with a mens ball or men would make way more shots with womens ball. People who think wnba teams would a stand a chance have never played sports.

I think a lot of it would come down to motivation.
Even the worst teams can beat the elite teams if they are much more motivated to win.
The guys would have all the physical tools to win but I'm not sure if they are mentally strong enough to use them, and to play coherently as a team.
A 14-15 year old AAU team would win for sure but they have much more discipline than most HS teams.
1 on 1 women would stand no chance whatsoever - their only chance is to utilize teamwork and outsmart the men, which is what most HS teams fail miserably at.
I would still take an average men's HS team over the WNBA champs, simply because of the press, fast break, and rebounding wouldn't be close.
In a half court set I could see the women holding their own over a sub par HS team.

lol agreed. I was just trying to convey the levity of a bunch of likely 125lb computer/poker nerds criticizing the abilities of professional athletes.

Excuse to post this...

I'm not sure that "sure" means what you think it means. There's really no way you could be sure about the first or last one. Especaially the last one.
