Women are tougher than men and they work harder because there bodies are
smaller and weaker so before you post sexist shit like get back in the
kitchen remember without that "women in the kitchen" yo sexist ass wouldn't
be here
Dai5y whatever WNBA isn't as even close as hard as to getting in the NBA
and I've seen a Horible all star game where a WNBA women 9 time all star
couldn't even make a ten foot jumpshot like almost at lay up line lol and
you need SKILL TO GET TO NBA UNLIKE WNBA PLUS WHY SPEND MONEY ON THIS CRAP
IF WE CAN SPEND IT ON SOMETHING ELSE I MEAN GIRLS SHOULD HAVE A LEAGUE BUT
DON'T NEED STADIUMS HUGE AND HARDLY ANYONE GOES TO WATCH LOL FACTS JUST
MAKE SPENDING THINGS SMALLER LOL LESS PEOPLE WATCHING LOL
So...why watch the video? And...can you play? You're talking all that shit from your couch. LOL. They can't hear you!!! They don't care about your opinion. They are playing and you are...typing.
People are haters. I GUARANTEE MOST of these "kitchen women" will give you
the business on a court. They will turn YOU into the kitchen worker. Like
them or not, respect their craft. They are still better at life than a lot
of you all. #LosLynx
Lmao those are barely NBA regular moves. That's a top 10 best of 2014?
Rolling crying and laughing !!! Men and women are different : men = well
you know. Women=kitchen women kitchen why did you leave it. A mouse? We
could have taken care it now come on!!!
+R. Simpson yea! I see you point. It's 2015. I guess it is an universal sport or activity for everyone to enjoy! But... I'm going to say this, as a drop in the ocean and because it won't change a thing, that on a personal level, some women started sport because they were Tom boys and were not hanging around with their own. That's a drop in the ocean though. They should feminize the wnba more. Sometimes when I see them it feels like its women playing the men fashioned basketball. What do you think?
+bla bla bla I just came here for the comments and to laugh a little bit when making comparisons but you I need to call you out on some ignorant shit. Women don't play ball to prove something to us. Thats just making you seem pompous. They play it because they want to be able to enjoy the sport of basketball because it is a universal game that isn't limited by gender.
+bla bla bla Well, to each their own.Thanks for replying respectfully btw; I can't tell you how many times I saw a guy turn something into a pissing contest rather than providing a level-headed response.
+Aaron Wayne I know. It was for humour but the point is still that women should not try to prove anything to us(like what you can do I can do) because there are not inferior just different. The head is the man and the backbone is the women. One cannot live without the other. So women trying to be the head because they do not want to be stepped on ain't the solution for women injustice. Its killing the family.
+tallsmile28 My son waited lol. Yeah I don't think so. I'm saying we don't need the GOAT to have a good team. If some magic happens and we get her then of course id go crazy for it but its unlikely.
Hey coach im using pro shot mechanics in my shot and i improved from not
hiting at all to be a preaty good parameter shooter and finaly my freinds
are acutually guarding me so first of all much thanks you helped me alot!
But when i go for a 3 pointer i mostly air ball it and i preaty much break
all of my shooting while doing it cause i want to all of the power i sway i
deep the ball vut still airball every time any other tips on how to
increase my range?
+Jean Gentry yeah will see like i said it will not be easy but the blazers took a huge step backwards this off season so theres a litlle bit of room this year i also think the pacers are gonna be pretty good this year with elliis there it should open things up for everyone and paul george is also healthy so will see
hmm. We'll see. I'm not sure Hibbert is gonna do much, but maybe he can regain some of his old form. Kobe + Swaggy = bad shot selection for days. We will see but I''m not hopeful. I tend to follow the Clippers, GSW, Dallas,and Spurs- who look hella dangerous this yr :-) I also try to follow the Pacers out of loyalty to RM31 (my fav player as a kid) but not sure if they are going anywhere this yr. On a side note, Monta Ellis looks very, very odd in a Pacer jersey. Wish he had stayed w/ Dallas.
now i'm not dumb i no its gonna be tough seein as were out west and there are definetley some things i worry about with this team we have know real perimeter defenders which makes it more important that roy hibbert go back to bein the dominate shot blocker he is between kobe lou williams and swaggy p thats gonna b a lot of shots goin up i know kobe has shown he can tone it down and lou is a point guard so i know he can as well its gonna be on swaggy to make sure he at least tries to take more good shots the bad and lastly especially after last year your always a little paranoid about injuries especially to kobe. now i'm a fan but also a realist were not gonna win a championship this year hell at best we win a couple games in the first round before we get eliminated but i think we are gonna end up bein a lot better than people realize if everything comes together also don't mention nash to me great player great man but the stunt he pulled with the lakers was patheic hes hurt all the fuckin time but instead of workin tryna get back he is at the game goofin around i give him some credit for jordan clarkson but thats bout it dude basically commited robbery
+Jean Gentry respectfully disagree and agree theres no sugar coating it kobe shot way too much last year but give the guy a brea front office didn't give him a whole lot of pieces to work with i think you will see him tone it down a little more with some better talent around him. speaking of which your overall stance disappoints me because i'm tellin ya laker are gonna b a lot better than people think. I look at this roster its pretty good we got a nice mix of everything. jordan clarkson is becoming the still of the 2014 draft jabari brown was another nice addition we got a healthy randle this year russell is gonna be pretty good especially know that he doesn't have to be our main guy at point right away swaggy p imo is still pretty good these past couple years he hasn't looked like it but he is a lot like jr in terms of his skill really are only effective when he isn't the main guy our fa signings are also underrated lou williams is an elite player i dunno why toronto didn't resign him he gives us a more consistent option comin off the bench when swaggy isn't feelin it brandon bass is just a proffessional who always plays hard and should be able to give us a solid 10 and 5 and roy hibbert who i think was in a pau gasol type situation last year i think know in a new wnviroment his attitude is gonna change and he will have a resurgence i think this years laker squad can compete for a playoff spot if everyone stays healthy and kobe can learn to trust his teammates and take his shot attempts down.
I follow ALL basketball :-) Kobe needs to let the Lakers go and rebuild. They will be dominant again in time, but this ain't the time. While I don't really follow the Lakers, I was absolutely disgusted w/ Kobe this past yr. I was hoping he would display some maturity as his career is winding down, but when he shot the team OUT OF GAMES (esp that abysmal performance where he took like 39 shots to score 37 points) I realized Kobe is Kobe and it's more important to him to feed his ego and finally best MJ at SOMETHING, then to mentor young guys and leave on a positive note. Nash is almost lucky he got injured again, since it allowed him to retire and jump off this sinking ship. In short, The Lakeshow is screwed right now, and will continue to be until Mr. Selfish finally hangs it up. Rant done :-)
+Jean Gentry in a one on one i think cheryl could easily take on a raymond felton felton could hold his own but felton was never a great defender and cheryl in her day was an elite ball player i'll be honest i'm probably not the most qualified to talk about this i don't know a whole lot bout cheryl because i'm not super into womens basketball and really women sports in general but from what i've read and seen she could play she once dropped a cali state record 105 points i know its high school and girls but still that number of points is impressive at just about any level. its nice conversing with someone on youtube who doesn't curse and call everyone who disagrees with them a faggot are you into male basketball at all and if so what are your thoughts on the lakers this year it b nice to hear someone not brainwashed by the media
Thank You for a well written, thought out response. That's all I ever asked for :-) To be clear, I wasn't trying to suggest that she be the star of a men's team (though she would certainly garner attention by just being on the team). My argument is that some women can hang w/ the guys. Maybe not always win, but certainly hang, and I think Delle Donne is one of them. I agree that in the men's game, she would be best utilized as a three point specialist/scoring threat off the bench.Since you took the time to read my responses, would you mind sharing your opinion on the Felton/ Cheryl Miller debate? I don't think any of the other "commenters" who addressed me ever gave me a valid response on that. Thank You :-)
+Jean Gentry i hear you and you've made some good points in a one on one there are definatley a number of girls playing in the wnba that could take on lesse rplayers in the nb. but as far as a real 5 on 5 game i jus can't see it the game is a lot faster more physical. i see you mentioned some guys who lacked certain athletic traits the thing with those guys is they often had something in turn to help level the playing field. nate robinson is bulit like a tamk but is also fast spudd webb was a freak athlete larry bird had a great shot freakish iq and was a wizard at pasing iverson agian small but he had cat like quickness when you look at dell donne what trait does she have that can help here even the playing field not frekishly fast nor athletic not big not overly tall the only thing she really has going for her is her shooting ability which goes back to my point which is at best che would be a kyle kover mike miller type of player. no shame in that those guys get paid well but in my opinion its ludicrous to think she could be anything more than that
There are some NBA role players who play no D and only shoot 3 pointers. I think a woman can potentially do that. That's if she has a superhuman release and can shoot free throws. But, I don't think that a woman can be dominant or be an AllStar.
C, Miller is 6'1/6'2 and was around 185 in her playing days. there are plenty of 6'1 guys in the league, then and now. I actually chose Felton for the "scrub v women's player" comparison because he is similar in size to her (about the same height, but a little heavier). For the NBA, she'd most likely be a PG, maybe undersized SG (not unheard of). As for EDD, One- she doesn't play center. her position on the Sky is SF. she was playing center temporarily because the previous center, Sylvia Fowles, wanted a trade, which she got, so EDD is back in the swingman position. she's 6'5, about 180-something. taking into account her ability to score, she'd probably play SG in the league. Also, as I have mentioned previously, physical attributes ALONE do not define a player, nor are they an accurate assessment of their SKILL. Being Shaq- wise don't make you great, and being Nate Robinson size doesn't make you terrible. there are plenty of NBA players (aside from the super short guys i mentioned earlier) that had a lack of a particular physical attribute. Larry Bird was unathletic, AI was undersized for his position, as was Dennis Rodman. They adjusted, worked w/ what they had, and made due. Noone brings up AI's lack of height or Larry's inability to jump. They overcame that. You think a woman couldn't do the same? Couldn't adjust her game? Also, I don't think you ever gave a valid explanation as to how or why a scrub could beat a HOF, (outside of, she's female). So, considering size/weight in no longer a factor because they are similar in that area, what do you say now? How does Felton stand a chance against a LEGEND of the game?
Even thought c. Miller may be a better shooter than some NBA players, she's much: shorter, slower, smaller, weaker, etc, you need an all around game to play. Elena Della Donne plays trucking center in the wnba, she'd be a PG in the NBA, and she doesn't have the speed or skills to be one at all.
One: I'm not a feminist, let's get that clear. feeling that a woman could compete w/ men doesn't make me a feminist. Two: I admit that men have a natural biologic advantage in physical attributes. Never denied that. To me ,that ALONE does not settle the debate, physical attributes (or lack thereof ) is not immediately indicative of a player's skill, or how well they would do in the league. By your logic, guys like Muggsy Bouges, Spudd Webb, Nate Robinson etc should have never made the league, since they were not blessed w/ the height gene. Yet, those guys carved a nice niche for themselves. Just because a woman is not as genetically blessed as a man doesn't mean she couldn't compete.
+Jean Gentry men are genetically better, that's the simple truth no matter how many feminist try to argue against it it's not the case. The NBAs worst players are still world class athletes, and no woman would be able to compete with that those are FACTS
He's a troll. Check his page. Please provide proof that his is "right". You agreeing w/ him doesn't make him right. I'm citing facts to support my arguments. What is everyone else citing? Outside of their opinion, that is.
+mike Wallace jr I can see that. You expressed yourself SO eloquently too! F- bomb n all. In the end, all you have is an opinion w/ no facts to support it. Does a dissenting opinion (w/facts for support) REALLY bother you that much? If I remember correctly, you're the one who said in an earlier comment that EDD "is a man". Real mature, Mike. You must really enjoy sitting on your troll throne.
+Jean Gentry I don't give a fuck what you think, I'm talking facts. the best wnba player ever still sucks ass and couldn't even hang with nba players from the 60s
+mike Wallace jr One, no need for profanity. I have responded w/ well thought out, logical responses. I hope for the same in turn. You don't like my response/viewpoint? write a thought out, researched rebuttal. Don't resort to name calling. Two: I'm no feminist, nor do I believe that EVERY woman player can hang w/ the guys. I'll be honest, most probably can't. But, I also feel some could. I think EDD could work as a scoring option off the bench on an NBA team, and I think Cheryl Miller could have made a splash way back when had the opportunity been available, and her career not cut short by injuries.
+creepytoast23Also, about drafting- a coach can't be concerned w/ fan opinion alone. controversial drafts are made all the time- Hell, the Pacers drafting Reggie was NOT welcomed in Indiana at the time. People stopped complaining when Reg became a name and the Pacers became a contender :-) Long story short- winning heals all wounds :-)
The debate is if Cheryl could beat Felton. But, to address your question, I'm not sure, to be honest. I'd have them play for a spot on my squad :-) but that doesn't mean I wouldn't take her over a guy in other instances. I am not convinced that a man can outplay a woman SOLELY because he's a guy. I'm not saying a man wouldn't have certain advantages, but there IS more to basketball than just being big and strong. EDD also has a great BBall IQ, something that gets overlooked in these debates. Also, you guys seem to think women can't take physical contact. Lots of women play w/ guys growing up and in practice squads. It's not as if women players have never been on the court w/men, or were never exposed to the physicality of the men's game. We do agree on one thing: I'd love to see a "battle of the sexes" game to settle the debate.
lol you have to be retarded to think that any women in the history of the wnba could beat any player in the history of the nba ever. I can't believe how stupid you feminist faggots sound right now. women suck ass at basketball. I could go to a local middle school and pick out an 8th grader that could beat ANY wnba player one on one. don't you ever fucking dare compare women to men on the proffesional level. women are far more inferior. smh
You honestly think Cheryl Miller is better than Reggie Miller? I'm sure Reggie was just being humble when he said that. If you were to draft a prime Cheryl over a prime Reggie, yo would be booed loudly, lose half your fan base, and probably be out of a job. Cheryl is not better than Reggie, nor could this lady here be a 6th man in the NBA. Part of the game is being physical, she would not be strong enough to do so, and pro players would pick her up on D before she even got to the 3pt line, be able to deny her spot in the paint, and probably drive and score on her at will. I'm not trying to sound sexist just saying how I see it, and I would love to see this with a female player someday just to end this debate. This is about as ridiculous as the debates in past with could Alabama beat the Jaguars, or Kentucky beating the 76ers.
1: I'm not arguing I'm engaging in debate and using facts to support my views. 2: Said HOF admitted his sister is better than him, AND she made the Naismith HOF long before he did (she was inducted in '95, he was inducted in 2012). She is also in 2 other HOF's- the Women's BBall HOF and the FIBA HOF. Also, she was drafted into the Us Basketball League, a men's league that was often used as a springboard to the NBA. The only reason she didn't last long was due to knee injuries. And before anyone complains about the USBL being "D-League," "Bush League", or any of that junk, keep in mind that several well known NBA players, such as Manute Bol, Anthony Mason, and Avery Johnson went from the USBL to the NBA.
To each their own then. I must respectfully disagree. Considering the record C. Mill had in her playing days, and the fact that she whooped Reggie's tail on the regular, I would take a prime Cheryl over Felton any day. as for WNBA players, I think classic players such as Lisa Leslie, and current players such as Candace Parker, could give Felton a good butt-woopin'. I guess it's going to take it actually happening for people to believe it.
Do you REALLY think a guy like, say, Raymond Felton, is better than Cheryl Miller? not just bigger or stronger, but better? Keep in mind C. Miller is a HOF'er, and her bro, Reggie (also in the HOF and Pacer legend) has openly admitted that she is his better.
Some of you guys don't understand... The worst player in the NBA is far, far better the greatest wnba player of all time it's the truth if u wanna be a feminist idiot than fine
She would not be the 6th man on any NBA team. Let's be real here people. Manu Ginobli comes to my mind as a 6th man, he is a amazing player, no way she could compete with him even at his age. She is a terrific player, but the men game is far more physical and faster. Iggy as a 6th man came in and matched with Lebron. Could she do the same and guard him?
+Pro Shot Shooting System Hi Coach, can you elaborate why you feel she wouldn't make it in the men's game? She has the size (at least height wise) and scoring ability for the SG spot. I think she could hold her own as the 6th man of the bench.
+Colton Walker being 6'4 and a scorer, if she were in the men's game, she'd most likely play SG. She's only playing center/PF on the Sky right now because Sylvia Fowles is sitting out waiting to be traded.
+Pro Shot Shooting System I feel the best WNBA player is better then the worst NBA player on a roster. She could easily take Robert Sacre's spot and be more efficient than him
+nDrewHart If she would be an average 6th man in the NBA then she would be in the NBA. She would probably get eaten alive on defense.
Tiffany Hayes WNBA Workout with Skill Trainer Lemar Griffin

+Nate Rivers If you're going to be sexist and make sexist jokes, you should at least try some original ones. People are going to think you're even more small minded than you already seem. Just a thought. ;)
People can watch whatever they want, but WNBA games don't do well
ratings-wise or attendance-wise. I think the numbers speak for themselves
and prove my point: very few people care about poorly played basketball on
tv or live, and it's why the WNBA is in a financial rut. And rightfully so.
If a product isn't good and people don't like it, it doesn't need to be
sold. The league will most likely downsize or shut down completely if it
doesn't find an audience outside of militant lesbians.
I never said women shouldn't have their own league. I never said they
shouldn't have fun. I'm talking about fans. I said that before but I think
you missed it. Read slowly next time. It makes hardly any sense to watch a
vastly inferior product. Nothing in the WNBA is impressive compared to the
NBA. All of these shots/blocks are routine. It's like watching high school
basketball. Why bother? The point of sports is watching the absolute best
people play, not the absolute most mediocre.
Sick burn! But I wasn't referring to the players, just the fans. Why watch
a sport where the players are vastly inferior? Simply because they were
born with boobs and va-jay-jays? It doesn't matter though. The WNBA is in a
hole, they can't make money or attract viewers, they know it, and it's in
its dying phases. RIP WNBA.
You may be right about that first part, but I can guarantee that there are
no WNBA players whom could compete in the NBA league, it just simply
wouldn't happen. When you take a look at the ANNUAL plays, they look like
plays in which an average NBA top 10 would have, they are simply on a
different skill level all together.
I remember a friend of mine who played handball. He told me since they
played first league in their age group they had a friendly match against
the current women national team he and his team mates were 16 or younger.
They won by a significant margin think it was 5 goals or more.
Basketball without dunk just like bread without butter. I really want to
see woman do contact dunk and posterizing the poor defender below the rim,
i mean who doesn't want to watch that, it's old school, soft pick into hard
slam. They should just lower the rim, really.
As long as they're operating at a loss, which they are, if the NBA has to
provide financial life support, the league will always be at risk of
closing down operations. It's a business, not a charity, and it doesn't
have too many customers.
That's why it's not interesting, no drive, no dunks, no entertainment.
Being fundamental are good, but it's getting annoying like studying in
classroom. Just lower the rim... Make them dunks... Make them go wild...
To those who say that the NBA is a lot less physical and more boring
nowadays, I recommend you to watch a wnba highlights video, and then watch
the nba's top plays of the night, you'll instantly feel better.
I'm not a WNBA/NBA follower but I've watched a lot of clips on here. Why
don't WNBA players dunk their shots every once in a while. These women look
really fit and capable. Is it not allowed in the WNBA?
so what? if fans want to watch the WNBA let them. just remember the WNBA is
being supported by the NBA. Not just finanially but TV wise as well. games
are being shown on the NBA network
WNBA is where it is at! Love the game Chamique Holdsclaw, Tina Thompson,
Teresa Weatherspoon, Lisa Leslie need I go on Now Brush Your Shoulders Off!
Don't Hate Just Appreciate the Game
Calm down they may not be as famous as the nba but they are doing what they
like to do for a living and a pretty good and don't forget they're getting.
Paid to do what thejyte good at
are you trying to quote futurama? if not this is a pretty poor attempt to
claim the failing wnba is better. These are the highlights of the year....
Not a game, week, quarter, a YEAR.
I'm not denying what your saying. Just that what matters is how
entertaining the product is, and at least IMO this shit is extremely
fucking boring compared to the nba.
The best play on this wouldn't even make an nba top 100 plays. Girls suck
at ball and its funny how they try and debate it. Jus stick to soccer and
volleyball pls.
It doesn't even make sense that this is being broadcast on tv or even
taking place in public where people can see it. The WNBA is the biggest
waste of time ever.
nah, cuz boys also play with dolls, men also put up makeups, and so on...
Just the way it is man, embrace it. Cuz if you don't, it'll get harder and
harder.

Women should play on a smaller rim to make it more proportional to their
athletic ability. The shortest guy to dunk was like 5'4 and the shortest
girl to dunk was like 6'8 so if girls played on a 9 foot rim that would be
better.
+tom joby right? then it would be more like the nba bc every female in the wnba, since they are about 5'11-6'8, would be able to make more above the rim plays
i'm 5'7 been training for 5 years started when i was 12 now at 17 i can
dunk a 28.5 in bball and yes on a ten foot rim check out this vid on how it
trained 100% works 10 of my friend, all under %5'10 are now jamming(and
only two are black) the link to the vid is hear:
