it wouldnt even be close.
and i say that with all due respect to the women's game. im a true fan of the women's ncaa tourney-- ive said that for years on here. i appreciate and respect them as athletes and competitors. ive had a lot of fun with it. people focusing on objective benchmarks like track times or strength are of course right, but they are only getting about 10% of the real difference. what makes Caitlin Clark special for instance, isnt size or strength, and it isnt even skill. she's not actually a better shooter than many of her peers. its her fluidity of motion/coordination that separates her. to put it simple, she moves more similar to how a guy is able to move. thats what allows her to separate from the defense and create space to take the shots she takes. its a really fun phenomenon to watch someone stand out in a unique way from their peers. ive enjoyed rooting for her success. but her advantage would disappear and turn to a disadvantage if she were to compete with guys. also, ill add one nugget. i used to workout at a gym that often ran out of mens balls. id play with a womans ball out of necessity at first, but then just for kicks sometimes... its like going from swinging a bat with a donut to taking it off. i could take set shots from 40 feet and make more than id miss. its hard to overstate what it does from a percentages angle to have a smaller ball youre trying to put through the same goal.
