Miami Heat forward Shane Battier predicts that the NBA is not far away from having its first female player.
"There's no doubt that in our lifetime, there will be a woman NBA player," Battier said.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Tuesday that he would consider drafting Brittney Griner, the 6-foot-8 senior star for Baylor who just wrapped up her college career over the weekend.
"I don't know if it's Griner or if it's someone who is 5 years old right now," Battier said. "But we'll see it. It'll happen in our lifetime. Just the law of averages."
