could the best boys HS b-ball team in your state beat the best WNBA?

Sorry for my double post.

somebody who says they won’t watch sub-standard product- that’s ridiculous. I doubt very much they only watch the absolute best league.
I do get the point of this thread. It’s, “I’m really glad I’m a man, because we are absolutely dominant and no woman can match our strength- not even close. And it makes me feel good to think about that.”

Right, they're not the same so why did you ask about reaction times in regards to my comment about quickness? Here's a link that may help you with the relative reaction times of men versus women.

On the Implications of a Sex Difference in the Reaction Times of Sprinters at the Beijing Olympics

Elite sprinters offer insights into the fastest whole body auditory reaction times. When, however, is a reaction so fast that it represents a false start? Currently, a false start is awarded if an athlete increases the force...

Bottom line-men's reaction time is faster. And men are quicker too. Reaction time is the time it takes to respond to a stimulus (starter's pistol/signal) and begin movement while quickness is the ability to move quickly once movement is initiated or to change/reverse direction while in motion. As for turnover rate, what does that have to do with BB?

Non-US but I played junior basketball for my state and made the top 20 in the nation. Our U16 state boys team played the U19 national women’s team. The score was 48-2 at the half.
After halftime, the rules were changed so that we could not shoot in the paint and couldn’t block shots outside the paint. The final score was 86-21.

If you come from any decent state, it wouldn't even be close. Basketball makes use of just about every athletic advantage men have over women.

Alaska vs. the WNBA all stars might be somewhat competitive. Might. Maybe also the smallest school divisions of some states.

A little bit of an exaggeration, few if any American Boys could beat Letsenet Gidey, Sifan Hassan etc., but our very best High Schoolers can, Newbury Park Boys Team Probably has 7-12 Runners who can beat the Womens World Record Time from 800-Marathon, Though The Womens World Record in the Marathon is shockingly faster than The High School Boys Record, though again at Minimum Newbury Park has 3 Runners (The Young Brothers and Sahlman) and probably more who could run under 2:14 given a weeks notice. Berkely High School in 1981-1982 was said to have 8-9 runners who could run under 48 a time only 2 Women have run, so yes there is a major difference, but 13-14 year olds, I kind of doubt it.

That's running. This is basketball.

Absolutely the athleticism gap between men in women particularly in basketball is ridiculous. There’s boys in elementary school who would dominate the paint better than women NCAA starters.

No the point of this thread is for the letsrun incel losers to thump their chests about how stupid women are because they are mad that women get so much attention and praise in sports these days and they hate that pro womens sports posters have taken over the anti womens basketball thread. so they come here and lie about their athletic history or lie about how this one time they played a team of females and beat them 100 to -1 and they say obvious things like boys are stronger than girls and high five each other like thats an awesome insult when Caitlin Clark was the most searched basketball player name on the planet for weeks during the NCAA Tournament and when Angel Reese is making millions of dollars playing womens college basketball. Its delicious to watch the petty pathetic spasms of jealousy in these threads. of course it all makes sense coming from a population who females wont give the time of day to...

I actually think a bunch of intramural high school boys would win (srs)

Assuming they ate all athletic. A bunch of casuals who play football baseball lacrosse and play basketball occasionally for fun with friends would destroy a wnba team

What state would that be?

Why would such a game be played? It’s disrespectful to everyone involved.

ChatGPT, is that you?

The "highest level of professional basketball" is played in the NBA, not the WNBA. Women aren't even close to being able to compete in the NBA. The level of play in the WNBA may be the peak of women's BB but it's a notch or two below elite HS boys' BB. There's no shame in that; we should be able to appreciate women's BB for what it is, not what it isn't.

NSW, Australia.
No idea why the game was played. I was 15 and told to play. I played.

I could probably knock out most of your moms with one punch. In fact, line em up, I'll just go down the line knocking em out like dominoes. Even the ones that won't go completely unconscious will probably be so stunned they will not know what country they are in.

The gap in Combat sports (Boxing Wrestling etc.) is even wider, even if the Woman has better skills, They may be Strong enough or fast enough or have great endurance, but with women they rarely if ever have all these qualities. They can have the best Coaching, best facilities etc, but the gap is too wide to overcome.

At the top, unlimited, weight category, this might well be true -- hardly any athletic women wouldn't have a massive weight disadvantage on top of everything else. However, in the lower weight classes of high school wrestling, girls occasionally qualify for state championship tournaments in states that don't have girls' wrestling but let the few girls who insist on wrestling anyway compete with the boys.

Actually, I just found a case from this year in Pennsylvania. There are a number of schools with girls' wrestling teams, and even a girls' wrestling state tournament, but it's not a PIAA-sanctioned event yet. Sierra Chiesa won the unofficial girls' state tournament at 118 (possibly wrestling up a class as she won at 112 last year) and also competed with the boys at 107, even winning two consolation bracket matches. She's the first girl ever to reach this level in Pennsylvania, but others have done similar things in other states.

Generally you could gather any average group of adult athletic men from other sports and compose a team that could compete with the top WNBA team

Even if we assembled the very best "talent" from LRC boards, the runner bois would be one of the only group of guys that wouldn't stand a chance against WNBA athletes.

Exactly right.
