What are the odds?

With all due respect to Brittney, she simply doesn't have the size or athleticism to compete meaningfully with men. Lots of male players are 6'8", but they have way more muscle and ups. Griner isn't 200 lbs. In the NBA, she'd be a small forward, but she doesn't have the handle or range to play that position.

Someone like Maya would be a little more interesting competing with men playing PG. And I still wouldn't recommend it.

Just as I never thought Floyd Merriweather should prove himself by fighting one of the Kitchkos, I'm happy with women not trying to compete with men in basketball.

I'd take Delle Donne before I took Griner...

No female player is ready for the NBA. They would all be lucky to get off a shot and would have the ball stolen almost every time they touched the ball. The NBA players are the greatest male athletes in the world. Can you imagine any of the women playing against Kobe or LeBron.

However, if Cuban wants a little summer league publicity, why not.

Probability = 0.000000000%

I doubt there is any D1 men's college team Griner could see playing time for, let alone the NBA.

Then you haven't seen SW Texas A&M State University, home of the Fighting Red Ants.

Geno: "Cuban's genius would take a big hit if she drafted Griner ... It would be a sham, absolutely ludicrous."

Publicity Stunt. No way would he used a 1st round draft pick on Griner. Now if it was a late pick with no salary guarantees he might do it.

If Griner couldn't handle the physical way Louisville played, just think what an NBA player would do to her.

You ever been bitten by a bunch of red ants?

 

[FairView]

A team of college women, 6' 4" and under just rendered her ineffective. Come on.

She would get yammed on repeatedly.....

an example of getting yammed on





Stick the the WNBA kid...

Cuban's a funny dude....she couldn't get a shot off in Divy 3 mens game never mind the NBA

Indeed, if you've spent any time in Texas, you know you don't want any part of a fire ant. Those things are everywhere and will mess you up. The speed at which they can build and expand a hill is mind-boggling.

How did playing with the big boys work out for Michelle Wie? In a non-contact sport. Cuban is just stirring the pot.

Yes he is. But that's pretty much his MO.

Has anyone seen Mark Cuban's mind. I know he's lost it. What I would like to know is what mindless reporter asked him the question.
