Hey guys even though high school men's teams can beat WNBA teams, I'm going to tell you that a WNBA player being better than a top 25 NBA player is an uncontroversial take, totally not trolling, and if you disagree with me I'll say you have little dick energy, definitely not trolling, just genuine conversation here!

He hasn't shown anything in the NBA that would merit more than MLE money, and even that would be generous and only a consideration because he's young enough you can bet on him improving.

Yeah and even in this tournament Serbia is vastly outclassing their competition. He looks good in terms of his physical shape but have to see it translate to the NBA. He definitely has unicorn potential because of his size and skill, but his midrange game is very mediocre and while he doesn't need to be great there, he's gotta refine it to warrant being a full time guy and potential star instead of just a nice glue guy that probably comes off the bench.

Woah dude we’re all about equality and inclusion in 2025!!! Not only should they be paid the same as the NBA if not even more but the league also has to take it easier on them. They have a brutal 30+ game regular season AND they gave a back to back every now and then?! That’s just not fair!!

I thought MAGAts knew that men and women had different anatomies? It is literally the one thing y'all have gotten right, come on don't lose out on that too now!

An intelligent and discerning mind would understand literally saying Aja is the best woman's basketball player and Bam is not even close to the best men's basketball player to not be talking about the two playing one on one. But merely noting that she is more skilled and can teach him things, especially to improve his offensive skillset. Better jumper, better hands, better footwork, better post game, better offensive bag in general, and about equal defensively since she is a slightly worse on ball perimeter defender, but a far better shot blocker.

Put Aja in a male body and she **** all over Bam (or vice versa with Bam in a woman's body). This may be debatable to some, but to most neutral basketball watchers who aren't angry at women/their ex-wife/baby mama/girls who won't touch their peepee and therefore who need to randomly make things into a battle of the sexes, it isn't actually a controversial opinion.

He hasn't shown anything in the NBA that would merit more than MLE money, and even that would be generous and only a consideration because he's young enough you can bet on him improving.

Yeah and even in this tournament Serbia is vastly outclassing their competition. He looks good in terms of his physical shape but have to see it translate to the NBA. He definitely has unicorn potential because of his size and skill, but his midrange game is very mediocre and while he doesn't need to be great there, he's gotta refine it to warrant being a full time guy and potential star instead of just a nice glue guy that probably comes off the bench.

He's also surrounded by lots of high IQ players and a big man with actual skills offensively who you don't have to spoon feed neither of which the Heat squad has.

I once saw a regular dude in high school almost wreck a girl’s college bball players career and he was just playing close defense after she started talking smack. She was in tears wondering if she just lost her scholarship when he went for the ball on a shot and she hurt her ankle coming down. Women should not play contact sports with men. I say this as a person that believes in equal rights. Men’s contact sports are something women have never experienced. It is best they do not try to get in that realm.

A good friend of mine was coaching D1 women’s basketball from around 2018-2020. He got 5 of us together and we would play against the girls in practice as their “scout team” and run whatever sets the opposing team they were about to play ran in practice for them to get familiar.

We were only allowed to go at like 50% effort, we werent allowed to attack the basket unless it was wide open or on a fast break, and we weren’t allowed to crash the offensive boards unless it fell into your lap. The coaches and players loved it because it was still going to be far superior than what they were about to play against so in theory their games were going to be a walk in the park compared to what they had been going up against in practice all week.

We had 2 season ending injuries that year, one of which was a torn ACL of a girl trying to guard me while I was breaking their press at half speed. They can’t keep up, never will be able to.

I’ll say this and then leave the topic alone. My little sis plays ball professionally, so between playing against her and some of her comrades over the years I like to think that gives me a qualified perspective. People vastly underestimate their skills. I’ve never lost a game 1v1 against my sis, I’m faster, stronger, bigger, and that all comes into play. Taking out the head up aspect and focusing on skill alone, oh she can shoot my lights out - and I’m no scrub. Its absolutely not a push to think someone like Bam couldn’t pick up a few things from Aja, you give him her offensive skills with his athleticism and you get KG.

He’s going to take a big leap this year.

Not to make this into a Bam vs Herro conversation, but if getting the right WNBA player (to enhance basketball skills) as your significant other, who would be the best option for Herro?
