OT: Please settle this lol..

My friend and I were watching the Phx Mercury play waiting to go play bball and he thinks he could beat Brittney Griner one on one…
He is 24 5’11” and played JV basketball his
Junior year.
He was literally betting on that he could win against her one on one to twelve.

I told him I would post this question here and not a single person would agree lol!

 

[eebmg]

Time for a new friend?

 

[Zanzman]

He would win end the thread

 

[JellyBean]

To help his ego out, he would win.

 

[Geosfun]

Depends on his quickness and his ability to shoot away from the basket. If he's quick and he can shoot jumpers, he'd win easily.
Now, for a serious question, is the hot dog a real sandwich?

Good point. That quickness is a key.

Excellent example of a hypothetical question. In Philosophy 101, they asked the question, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" My response: "Get me some angels and a pin, and I will tell you!" (But they have to be dancing angels.)

Griner would win even if she spotted your friend 11!

EXACTLY!!...I thk he'd have a tougher game against Stewie

Can't wait to see the answers to the hotdog question

Oh, that changes everything.

Seriously, what is it with all these jackasses guys whose first impulse is either to denigrate women's basketball as a whole (e.g., calling it "not a sport" or making homophobic comments) or to fantasize about a 1-on-1 game. It's truly asinine.

For all the people speculating "if he's quick enough" — he couldn't even make varsity as a junior, and apparently he either quit or got cut as a senior. So no, this is no Russell Westbrook. Show me the videos of the dude breaking ankles at Rucker Park and maybe I"ll change my mind.

Give your friend the Bobby Riggs Bigmouth trophy, and award Ms. Griner the Billie Jean King medal.

If I remember correctly, Riggs did easily defeat the number two female at the time, Margaret Court. And there is speculation Riggs threw the King match under pressure from the bookies.

 

[Huskee11]

Tell your friend that playing JV basketball as a junior is something he should keep under his hat.

And no, he would lose to Griner. Unless she was laughing too hard to go on.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

Brittney would beat him and then take his lunch. He'd go crying home to mommy.

There is also speculation that humans on Earth are ruled by alien lizards. Big deal.

And so what? Riggs was also a multi-time Grand Slam tournament champion in his day; our resident blowhard had his peak in the layup line of his junior varsity games.

The WNBA’s male practice squads lose to women all the time — and enjoy it

Every professional and DI women’s basketball team practices against men, and has for years.

I remember the time in my younger years (mid 20s).. I played a female in a game of 1 on 1. This female had D I scholarship offers before a ACL injury.. ended up playing DII. Anyway... I think it was her idea to put something on the game..... if she won... I'd give her my favorite hat. Needless to say... I lost the game and lost my favorite hat.

Should have played for a dozen doughnuts think you would play harder for food

The other thing that's worth taking a moment to observe:

This type of disrespectful blather toward WBB players NEVER comes from men who are or ever were good basketball players. It is ALWAYS the blowhards who never made it past the end of the bench on their high school JV team who come out with the tough talk. SMDH

I’m ok I still got another T till I get the boot

He is delusional. There is probably not a player in the wnba who would not seriously embarrass him one-on-one.
