I mean can you imagine a gorilla who can box, and knows the rules and everything? Wow, what a spectacle.

The human wouldn't stand a chance. Not a hope in hell.

Nobody will reasonably dispute this, as the physical superiority of the gorilla over the man is plainly obvious.

Frustrating that those who make the same observation about a mens' basketball team in comparison to a womens' team, for ostensibly the same reasons, will catch static from someone for being low-key sexist.

This is the #1 high school basketball team in the country. You really think a WNBA team can hold a candle to this?

what the hell three of the kids on this team are brothers and the fourth is their cousin

some dude is out here fathering a stable of all americans

i dont think so. you look at like oak hill academy or st athonys in NJ and those kids are all have NBA size. who in the WNBA is stopping a 6'9" big who is dunking left and right?

also, think about it for a second. look at all the college freshman who are beasts about to go to the NBA. these guys are one year removed from being the best high school players in the country

lebron was tearing up the NBA 1 year out of high school.

the men would win.

Some decades ago some promoters put a professional wrestler in a match against an adult chimpanzee. Chimps are not nearly as strong as gorillas, but the adult chimp threw the pro wrestler around the ring like he was a rag doll.
People have no idea of the strength of many wild animals. An adult male gorilla could probably take on 20 full grown males and whip them. It would be like an adult man taking on 20 five year olds.

I guess an interesting related question is this. If you take a young phenom like Shaq, Lebron, or to a lesser extent, Kobe, what is the youngest age in which they would not be the best player in the WNBA? That is, most would agree that 16 year old Lebron would still be the best player in the WNBA. What about a 14 year old Lebron or a 14 year old Shaq?

lynx center and fmvp, sylvia fowles is 6'6".

6'6" for women is like 6'0" for men (or less). My friend, who is 5'6" and quite athletic, but not NBA or Div. 1 athletic even , played one-on-one with an all Big Sky 2nd team (6 feet tall) and she could not get a contested rebound and could not keep him in front of her. They played twice to 11 and it was 11-3 and 11-2 in favor of my friend who wasn't even a college prospect. Think about that.

You get top boys teams with 6'3+ guys and they're going to get all the rebounds, all the loose balls, run out in transition, and suffocate the opposition on defense. The women's team might be better trained and better at playing sets, but the physical dominance would be so great that the game would be an utte pr slaughter.

When I was in sixth grade, we played our city woman's team like three times. Won every single time quite easily and did not have that much worries. And this is the best high school team we are talking about - something like Simeon or Oak Hill. They are getting dunked on every single possesion just because of the speed difference.

Kobe 11, LeBron 9, Shaq 8.

The women would be inconsolable by the end of the first quarter. Many, many tears would be shed. Man would dominate, and prove he's physically and psychologically superior.

Men rule.

Mark Cuban was willing to give Britney Griner a contract if she was allowed to play in the NBA. She put up 15/8/1 last season....that wouldn't translate to much in the NBA, although she could probably drop similar numbers against an elite high school team

I need more details to answer this question accurately.

Are they fighting indoors or outdoors? What kind of pavement: assfault or hardwood? Are there elementals involved? Can spectators bring pets?

I'd have to see that to believe it. Chimps don't understand wrestling, but a chimp could very well get angry and kill a man who is screwing with it.

pretty much. you would need mouth guards and hand guards on that chimp to prevent it from ripping anything off of you that it wanted to

Fetus Lebron would be the best player in the WNBA

And then he would demand to be traded to another womb so he could realize his talent better...
