Kobe: “There are a couple of WNBA players who could play in the NBA right now”

[Gyasi85]

Maya might be able to do it ...but be that as it may ........Bean still out here sneak dissing an entire era.............and on the anniversary of his 81 points ...this nikka hall of fame speech is fukkery waiting to happen

I could see a great female shooter being able to hold their own on offense but they would get slaughtered on defense.

Sports like tennis are different

Serena and Venus Williams were destroyed in singles matches by a 203rd ranked male tennis player (Karsten Braasch) who was drinking beer between sets

even in tennis the gap is wide

 

[LastManStanding]

Kobe clearly got a paycheck from someone to sit up there and bald faced lie like that

he knows damn well there isn't a single female on the planet who could compete in the NBA. now could they sit on the bench and maybe come in during the final garbage when no one is trying? sure, but to actually compete? get the hell outta here there is a reason why WNBA teams (and women's college teams) practice against high school male teams.

we gotta stop this phony, make-believe nonsense just because morbidly obese feminist on Twitter "demand" it. men and women are different and that's okay.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

funny thing is, there's never no celebrity WOMAN pandering for the WNBA

It's always guys.

why aren't the feminists on WNBA like that

100% this. I enjoy watching women's sports like hoops, tennis, track, volleyball........volleyball

......anyways, women don't support female sports as much as they could. If broads watch WNBA that way brehs watched the NFL, they would be set.

Ur right...

I think I meant, as in being watchable...

The tennis gap when the sexes compete against each other is wide...
But watching them against the same gender, it doesnt drop off much

I remember when this was the narrative for Luka

You ain't gotta be athletically gifted to flop all over the place I know there's some girl in the WNBA that can at least give you more night in and night out than KCP

Eh idk and I feel a lot of people in this thread are exaggerating his point. Could all WNBA players play in the NBA? No. Would they be an all-star in the NBA? No. Could a woman's team compete with the men? No. Could a select few survive on an NBA team? Possibly. A player with a handle and a wet shot that is food on defense could survive. I mean that basically describes Quinn Cook.

I agree. If their jumper is wet, just stay in the corner and be ready. Dont dribble. Dont drive. Just be ready.

Ya'll cannot be serious.. You make it seem like there aren't hundreds of professional players across the world in the G-League, Euroleague, and China that fit the same archetype you are describing with more size, athleticism, skill and talent than the best WNBA players. This site really underestimates what it takes to make the NBA.

UCONN Women's is the pinnacle of D1 college basketball. They routinely run scrimmages against average joes who play pickup, and the club basketball team, and LOSE.

The US Women's Soccer team, who is far and away the most dominant woman team in all of international soccer, routinely scrimmages against U-15 boys teams and LOSES.

The thought of a girl being able to play in the NBA when there are monstrous male athletes who are struggling to break through in the G-League and overseas is

Seriously, what’s wrong with Wade and Kobe? Two former “alpha” males saying that most ludicrous thing you ever heard of. Stuff even the dumb average Joe wouldn’t say.

Once a boy hits puberty, it’s over. Local under 15s year old boys would smash and destroy the WNBA all stars. People truly underestimate the differences between the sexes.

What did Wade say?

 

[newworldafro]

What was going to say "no".....lol.

Loose all his endorsements...lol

Fuucked up but true.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

He's an NBA player, his opinion automatically trumps yours, right?

Kobestans can't use "But what NBA players say is the absolute truth and no one can dispute it!" ever again.

 

[LurkMoar]

some elite women can probably score in the NBA, but they would be too slow to guard anyone

 

[Buckeye Fever]

You can tell they practiced that too. Look at how ol' girl tryna get the timing of her steps right

Even the alley looks unnatural. Had to take all kinds of baby steps.
