Skill aside he knows she isn't good enough, good pub grab here though.
-
while i agree this is nothing but a publicity stunt, i wonder what kind of publicity he's hoping to gain other than to be labeled an idiot. are the mavs this desperate for pub?
and save me the any pub is good pub line. in my opinion he's making himself and by association, his fellow owners, look like dumbasses who are disconnected from their game.

:lol: he's getting exactly what he wanted out of this comment. Great job, Mark.

How bad would TCU's mens team beat the Baylor women? 20+?

Wow so so so so dumb Cuban

Cuban trolls goEMAW. Never thought I'd see the day

basketball is so stupid

Yeah seriously. He's clearly not serious. But if there's anyone that can market and squeeze every dollar out of something as boring as Vegas Summer League, it's Cuban.

if she is the best left on the board she would actually be the best pick

Better question: Would the Baylor women win the KSHSAA 3A boys basketball championship?

I know this isn't in the same hemisphere, but in 8th grade, we used to be held after practice to scrimmage the girls HS varsity squad every once in a while. We used to completely annihilate them. I mean, to the point that their coach would stop the scrimmage and make it half court. Then he would later stop it and tell us to stop moving full speed. Then he would stop it and tell us to kinda just shuffle around with our hands up.
again, I know this is a different hemisphere, but when weighing questions like this, I refer back to a bunch of 8th graders completely ruining a bunch of 12th graders as we just kinda shuffle around with our hands up after having an hour of our own practice followed by 30 min of sprints.

With Greiner, yes. She would completely beast the paint. They would do well in 6A this season, I think she is the best player in the state. I honestly think she could be a decent role player for a D1 squad, she is an unreal shot blocker and rebounder. She is scholarship worthy at most schools.

Cuban = stud studding all over the faces of some apparently faux studs on gE :dance:

She would get eaten alive in even the worst D-1 men's basketball programs.

Absolutely. Unless she's tucking & taping down man parts.
The strength, quickness, & jumping ability of a 6'3"-6'4" D-1 caliber male basketball player would embarrass her.
-
I didn't say anything about being elite. She's a better defensive big than some D1 scholarship athletes than I've seen. She can absolutely get 5 minutes a game defending the rim, there is no doubt about it. She would have huge issues with guarding her man, but there are literally hundreds of D1 players with the same issue. Not to mention there are some conferences where she would be in the top 98% of players height.
My opinion is based on seeing her and seeing other college basketball teams. Based on your first sentence of your previous post your opinion is clearly based on "she's a girl." You have your mind made up without considering her skill set so there's no use continuing this.

Oh man, we did the exact same thing in my hometown with the same results. :excited: The best part was trying to be this 8th grade stud around some of the hot 12th grade lady players. :lol: We were all doing it and we looked so obvious and stupid, it was great!

Its the same for the women's practice squad. Its essentially a very good rec team that's better than the women's team. I would have very little trouble with Olga Firsova for instance but I think, know, I would struggle to score against Griner. She has the unique combo of size, athleticism, strength and skill. Does her athleticism and strength match that of an average men's D1 baller, no it doesn't, but her skillset has come the closest of an average male that we've seen.

I always wanted to watch my fraternity intramural team play the ladycats.

Her skill set is solid.... "for a girl". Keep in mind, all we've seen of her is against a bunch of 6'3"-6'5" girls.
Elite is so far fetched its absurd. She wouldn't even be competitive with D-1 men unless they started giggling so hard at how bad they were abusing her that they couldn't really play anymore. She'd probably be at least competitive at the 5A-6A level of Kansas HS boys basketball, but dudes headed to the Washburns, ESU's, Hutch JuCo's of the world would embarrass her.
I'll stand by the fact that the most average mens college basketball player would simply embarrass the very best estro-baller, no question.
I can't believe you're even trying to make an argument that she even belongs on a mens D-1 level court... I should've just accepted your tapout and left well enough alone, I guess.

Her skill set is solid.... "for a girl"
Jesus Christ man, you didn't wait to start with the ignorant. Its obvious that you have no idea who Britney Griner is. "Her skill set is solid... for a girl" is so amazingly stupid that I literally have to question every opinion you have on anything because its so obvious that you are willing to shoot your mouth off about anything regardless of what you know or don't know about the subject. She is women's basketball Wilt Chamberlain or Jim Brown. Her skill set is so far beyond anyone who has ever played the game that it is literally incomparable, this is not doubted by any fan or associate of WBB.
I'd suggest that you actually see her play but you wouldn't know what you're seeing anyway. You don't know what the eff you're talking about and I'll leave it at that. Its hard for me to take you seriously because all of your post are different ways to say "but she's a girl." You provide no point of reference for your opinion because you haven't seen her play, you can't provide a relevant comparison/contrast because I don't think you are familiar with college basketball to know that all scholarship players aren't 6'8" 265 lbs with 37" verticals and a 10.4 lane agility test. Oops I guess I didn't leave it at that.
Your opinion is solely based on how you think things should be and that fine. I don't know very much about football and I'll admit it. If I become interested in line techniques I'll pm you. I'll let you have the last word and find another way to say "but she's a girl," but I am absolutely done responding to your insultingly ignorant and sexist tone in this thread. I'm disappointed I wasted the words that I did.

First off, I agree that she is to estro-ball what Chamberlain/Brown were to their respective sports. Secondly, I've watched her play and she's very good against relatively weak competition as a whole.
I'm surprised that you don't get the overwhelming difference in men's and women's strength and stamina, especially at the D-1 level... not to mention the differing skill set developed through consistent competition with bigger, faster stronger athletes.
I'm more than happy to "agree to disagree", but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a "basketball expert" to agree that she'd even be remotely competitive with D-1 caliber men. Could she "hang" on a pickup court? Probably... But, have any real success? Highly doubtful.
I'm done here, too.

Yes, getting blocked out for rebounds as an 8th grader scrimmaging the HS girls was a delight. Oh Nikki, and Audi.
