@@roddbanks103 🤣🤣🤣 auto-correction and predictive text!!!

Cap you never made jv

Same happened to my freshmen team in high school. We were required to help the girls out in the girls practice and I wasn’t comfortable with it. Our bigs were really uncomfortable.

When i played freshman basketball we use to scrimmage the varsity girls basketball team(they made state and lost in final four). My freshman year we were 2 or 3 games under 500. We beat the poo out of them every time. It wasn't even close. It wasn't a challenge. And 2 girls off of that team played college ball. One made major D1 and wnba. Our 8th grade team could have beaten them. Now a 6th or 7th grade team would have been a more fair game. And no one on my freshman roster made college for basketball

@@arthurglanville3826 who made it to the WNBA?

@Tyshawn007 probably by 2 😂

Really dude? The man just said that women could make it to the NBA if you let girls play against guys in basketball beginning in high school. Exactly what information did you gain from that?

@@HT-sm9dm His Interviews in general. If you don't like them just move along I'm just saying

@@chrisdaly6156 who said I didn’t like them? I just said right here he’s talking sh/t that makes literally no sense whatsoever.

@@HT-sm9dm And like I said HIS interviews are interesting, your zoning in on this 1. I'm speaking again in general.

@@HT-sm9dm Every Video Has aGoofy Callin’ aMFa That Don’t Know From a Can Of Paint Real 🤪👏🏼😂🤌🏼

​@@flockaaaaaa2038 get a life weirdo

Pretty much… the ratings are higher for reality tv reunion shows than the WNBA finals

Facts

Facts, the support isn't strong. Plain and simple

@@tavarusyoung2941 people never wanted to see that league successful to begin with. I remember when WNBA first came out and hearing people say it was only going to be around for two or three years. People were actually more excited for the XFL and they were the ones who ended up fizzling out in two years. Bad karma.

it’s the nbas tax write off

Meanwhile Candace Parker vs you 1 on 1? Guess we all know who gonna win that match up….

What about mugsy bogues 5,1 and dunking

@@justayoungstudent Yo that's not even a logical comparison. You compared the best WNBA player to a person commenting on RU-vid. Compare an athlete to another athlete cause she should win because that's probably not his job. Now compare her to going one on one with LeBron. Now that's a fair comparison. Your comparison had no thought behind it, just imbued with malice or jealously.

@@justayoungstudent you really thought you said something huh? L lmao

@@justayoungstudent This makes no sense.

They would have to play with boys from day 1.. that’s really the only way.. the issue is biology.. the body’s change after about 7-8th grade.. that just the facts..

@@zerofox3075 again...... What da fk.....are y'all talking about ... ? Wrong. Them hose COULD never play with Real Men.....

A woman needs to adjust to a man's reality.

bro don't matter what are u start them just imagine a female stepping in to take the charge from LeBron James...

Man it don’t matter how long they play with men we physically too dominate

BAR!

I’m sure that shit went over people’s heads 😂

how he come up with this bar on the spot

@@johnanderson3363 only a dumb person wouldnt get that...who doesnt know that Little Rock is in Arkansas, and that the WNBA uses a smaller ball?

it went over my head and I’m from North Little Rock, Arkansas 😭🤦🏾‍♂️

Facts 😂😂😂😂

Dead bruh

KD would average more then every team by himself 🤣🤣🤣

This comment the shit type of shit that makes me wonder if I carry myself well... Probably not ☹️

Right, this is the best answer I've ever heard to this question.

Nah if she’s playing with guys from young she’ll be able to develop a skill set for it.

@@is.that.Mazzi. ya shell be very good. But she still couldn't sniff pro.

@@patrickmiller1674 she definitely could, there’s a lot of women who aren’t physically superior but have the skill set to wash men. Like for example Candace Parker? I think she’d wash Danny Green just cuz she’s very skillful. If they had the physical gifts + the skill set a women could definitely be in the NBA but it’s like he said she’d have to be introduced to the way we play the game.

@@is.that.Mazzi. candace Parker could never even beat her own nba sibling Anthony Parker, much less Danny Green who is better than him.

@@is.that.Mazzi. @MOST HATED MAZZI an nba basketball game, season, and career is not the "skills competition" you see u in the all star game. Skills alone doesn't get you far. Those people end up being trainers, and coaches. Women lack endurance, bone density, strength, testosterone, muscle fibers volume and density, fast twitch muscles volume and density,cardio - women have smaller hearts, frame - women have angled quadriceps structure, which limits force production, narrower shoulders, they have slower reaction time. Even if a woman had the height and skill, she'd lack the other key components, and couldn't last a full 82 game nba season.

Same thing I'm thinking, you're hoping for a woman to be.. maybe a poor man's Steve Kerr which, is a huge ask to ask of for most male role players

If every other answer was no then it was just as reasonable

If women actually supported them they’d be bigger at least in America than the nba , its way more women than men

Victim mindset at it’s finest.

@@BRENTFAVORS And yet any WNBA player would kick your ass on the court! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@John-bq9bj You can't beat a WNBA in a game of one on one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@omarsimpson6375 here comes the woman pandering fool 😹😹😹😹i hope she sees this bro 👍🏾

It’s going to get faster with the next generation. The training is stepping up with high schoolers and middle schoolers.

On top of that does it really need to be a WNBA? I can't hold it in

@@pareeshaslaughter6798 "i cant hold it in" yall are funny are making my day in the comments

It's much slower because they're much slower lol..

@@Leonard4T1 I'm just saying deep down I side women do not want to ball like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean it's great money but cmon

Most dont know about tht type of history and she was better than Reggie n he has admitted it but shump is right

@@canandwill1 that’s her sister though. Reggie was gracious. UCLA Reggie won’t win 1 on 1 with Cheryl is just denial. Maybe when he was younger yeah and overall impact in the game as a woman compared to Reggie in the NBA, possibly she was better. But certainly debatable. 1 on 1 though, I doubt Cheryl could even come close. Reggie took MJ and the best team in history to 7 games.

@@canandwill1 If you really that you delusional😂😂. Its his sister obviously he gonna say that to big her up. And that 1 on 1 was when they were reallyyyy young

@@delosreyesgino the point is she was a great player I obviously just said shump was right . Most dont even know who she is n I still hold to my own opinion she is better than Reggie in my opinion I'm just saying what he already said you can believe what you want but thts just my own personal opinion

@@DiorInEveryStore I'm not delusional have you seen her play, if there was one who has the strength the talent the energy it would have been her I think tht would have made it but realistically shump is right. Idc what you think this is my own opinion she was better than Reggie shes just older did not get a chance to play in the wnba once it was created most don't no anything about her game at all she was a beast better than Leslie better thank Parker fowles Charles all those ladies combined

The point is if that top level athlete practiced daily vs the men for year, they could at least be on the team and used in special situations. The most likely situation would be as a designated 3 point shooter. Go watch some videos on Caitlyn Clark. She has the shot range to pull it off.

@@finisher3x no they wont

@@djandrews168 Facts! No WNBA or Division I female basketball player has ever 360 dunked in the history of sports....in practice or in a game. You can go to any city in America and there will be dozens of ordinary guys who have never played community college ball that can do 360 dunks with ease.

@@philsmith8306 It’s even just about dunks either. In the WNBA we don’t see females shoot like Curry/Dame,Trae or show some insane ball handle skills like Kyrie/AI/Jamal Crawford. WNBA players are less skilled as well.

@@MannyParadisee 💯

There is no MNBA, it’s just the NBA and the disability league

@@py2561 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

fuck is the mnba it’s the nba

@@py2561 hilarious, very original

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

😂 right

He literally asked the same question to Gilbert Arenas 🤣

How? Gil can’t be canceled. He’s his own brand. Vlad is just asking questions lol

What kind of adjustment would a young man need to play with women?

@@artfuldodger7747 just take shump’s example for instance, they’d need a while to learn that they can bang against another dude’s chest but they wouldn’t be able to do that with women. Just seemingly small stuff like that

Look at the weight of these wnba players. They can't handle the speed and physicality 👌.

Even if they trained from the jump it still wouldn’t help.

@@Ahjusshi_Brown and that’s exactly why men play with men, and women play with women, you shouldn’t have to tone down your physicality to play with someone else

They are allowed to join the NBA. Men can't join the WNBA

They've done that at the high school level with many sports and the girls never actually make the team lol.

Yea fr that ball is so small in the wnba I haven’t used that ball since middle school

The Olympic US soccer team lost to high school boys … lol

🎯🎯🎯

Let’s be real here … he’s being nice I know 9th graders 6”4 with a bag full of tricks that may never make the nba … the depth of athletic ability and skill pool is too deep for us to ever just say play with us and you’ll be able to cope.

@@Rk-xx1sg There’s a video of a wnba player losing to a out of shape D1 PG in a 1v1.

Girls plays with boys up until high school so this theory has already been debunked. They can't hang with the boys. Pretending they can serves no positive purpose.

Still may get some offended femcels reacting to this later on 🤣

I feel like he watched this video lmao

They can't

Yea he was being nice . Even if they gave them 4 years, too fats too strong if men are actually playing the woman like a man being physical and everything talking crap. They wouldn't stand a chance at all.

I mean no disrespect to you but woman wouldn't be able to play in the nba. Are there some who could? Of course, but as a whole no. It would be unfair. There are transgenders dominating women in swimming and the woman are complaining about it. I am curious Why you think it's being small minded if the stats show that women for the most part cant compete with men in most sports.

No women can make it to the nba.. they should let one man go play in the WNBA and dominate to show the difference

@@OmarGarcia-qp9tt I’m sure there could be one or 2 out of the whole world lol I’m not gonna drag it and say none

For what? Tf is wrong with people it's not that big a deal

They would never be able to adjust to the physicality

@@mayankingrevisited8815 maybe you’re right, it’s certainly possible, but for them to have any real chance they’d have to get accustomed to it at a young age

Not sure why I am replying . But are you crazy.. The level of 2000 -2022 is nuts. They are super human on every level everyone. And this is why we have craziness in theworld. Not everyone is the same as far as gender.

Women just can't compete with men. A male freshmen high school team would smoke a female college team.

Cuz he knows Durant a bitch

They tryna get him to think like that

Regardless if they played with men their whole lives....

Bruh😭😭😭 we see wat he do to niggas wat he would do to a woman would cause his mama shame 💀😭

it will be like an adult playing toddlers lol

Lebron, Curry and Embiid could legitimately go undefeated in the wnba season going against full teams of wnba players. And they'd win most games by 30+

He has too.. It happens to all media personalities He doesn't want to be a dream killer.

No, some of them can with different training. The training aspect for female basketball youth development hasn’t been what it has been for the guys that’s why you don’t see dunking or anything, but it’s been changing over the last decade. Kobe being a big figure in that change. Now these girls are actually building explosive ability and some are dunking in middle school and high school, as well as building the technical skills better. So yes for the top WNBA some of them could be on an NBA bench but there’s a reason why he gave a four-year timeline as they would have to completely change their training regiment.

@@IncognitoSprax Some women are dunking in middle school and high school? Lmfao WHAT? Not on 10 foot nets they're not. There are hardly any wnba players currently who can dunk, that is massive bs right there. Some top WNBA players could be on an NBA bench? No, they couldn't. Im not trying to sound like a dick but you clearly have no idea the gaping chasm between men and women in athletics. The US women's soccer team has lost to high school boys. The Canadian women's hockey team loses to high school boys. Serena Williams would lose to college men's tennis players. There are high school track athletes that post better times than women's Olympic gold medallists.... But somehow you think in basketball it's different? Not a chance dude, not even remotely close.

@@mikerobertson8540 "I don't know anything about sports training, nor the changes in female sports, nor have I looked up the information so I'm just going to call bs" ~ you

@@IncognitoSprax Yes, that was the whole point, you just don't know what you're talking about. Why didn't you just lead with "i don't know anything about sports", it could have saved us all the trouble.

I disliked your comment. Cause you sound stupid.... Just wanting to let you know.... 👎...... Adjustment period? Foh boy.

No, it wouldn't.

Huh????????? So because a woman is tall, u think she will be able to PHYSICALLY bang body to body with a FULL GROWN MAN????? Because she's tall, she can back a FULL GROWN MAN down in the paint?????? Foh. There is NO center or power forward in the WNBA physically built to bang with an NBA center or power forward. Its PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

@@cadencarlisle3772 Relax

@@deezosaintloyal , tell ya mama to relax, bitch. Smdh.

It's not even that good

Just stop

Lol don't even get all stars, get bench players

Wnba Allstars vs G League rookies?

@@DmadPs 🤣 I can see it. I was just trying to be equal

@@rjchilds84 that would be better but the women would still get dogged… there is a story about a trans swimmer in college that is #1 in the nation right now but when he swam with the men he was in the 500’s LOL the athletic advantage we have is being understated

Fuck the NBA and WNBA. Let the WNBA all-star team run a scrimmage against Oak Hill or Montverde. I guarantee they would lose by 30+

Facts!

I think he means the mental, I could be wrong though. Just what I took from it.

But but but... if they just practiced with boys then they'd be just as good as the boys somehow and some way that nobody can actually explain 🤣

The skill level is just as wide as the physical aspect lol. There's no female Lebron, Curry, Durant, Gobert, Ja Morant or Kyrie. These chicks can't even shoot with a men's ball or from the men's 3 pt line but we're supposed to pretend they have the same skill level as men? Yeah ok 👍

Most girls grow up playing with the boys ball, because a lot of them play against boys during the offseason. If they played with the bigger ball, the adjustments would be made in a few years.

@@finisher3x, they did use the same ball until the mid 80’s and it sucked. I played basketball in the 70’s and early 80’s and the difference after changing ball size made a huge difference in ball handling. They need to lower the rim next.

​@@finisher3xyou're aware that they had to make the ball smaller because girls can't make the adjustment right? If they could then there'd be no use for a woman's ball to have ever even been invented lol.

That’s what I jus said😭😭😭

They literally do have a leave for them funded by men and its not enough. If they got paid by the revenue the WNBA brought in they would owe money

“Guess”?
