Billy Jean King- Tennis

At her prime she barely beat an out-of-shape 50-year-old.

I wouldn't bet against WNBA. See Team USA "dream team" results at the Olympics and FIBA games. Team USA all-star team played tough by much less physically and individually talented Euro/Argentinian teams who've played together since they where kids.

Don't underestimate the value of experience, teamwork, playing under competent refs over a stuck together all-star team. professional players are used to professionally refereed game and real game experience. Most high school all stars dominate 95% of the games they've ever been in thus have faced very little opponent adversity in their organized basketball life.

I think it would depend alot on how much the WNBA could slow or stop the HSers by forcing a lot of turnovers in strips and offensive fouls.

WNBA teams play with a post-play-discouraging trapezoid lane?
WNBA allows goaltending?
WNBA doesn't always allow a pivot foot?
WNBA has no 8-second reset?
WNBA allows rebounding your own airball?

FIBA and WNBA are not good comparisons. FIBA has a different set of rules that the game is played under compared to the American game - WNBA does not.

The WNBA game is played virtually the same as the men's game rules-wise. The FIBA game is related, but different, like 5 card draw poker vs hold 'em.

The athleticism advantage for the high schoolers would be too much. It's extremely rare for a woman to dunk in a game...how the hell are they going to rebound and get shots off against elite athletes.

High schoolers would rout them.

Plus they dont have the size and strength either. If you're giving up size strength and athleticism at every position, you're going to lose the game.

Billy Jean King- Tennis

It's common knowledge that Billy Jean King was born with a penis.

The game would be Facial galore.

The only facials most WNBA players will ever have to worry about receiving.

Billy Jean King beat an old man in a publicity stunt.

This is how Braasch remembers the day: "They came into the ATP Office and said that they would like to play one of the men," said Braasch. "I just happened to be in the room and they were saying that they thought they could beat someone who was ranked 200 in the world. At the time I was No. 203 and I said: "If you think you can beat me, we can go out there right now." With Serena, the score was 6-1 and then Venus came and asked to play, and I said,
