:puke::puke:

From David Stern the commissioner

"Sure," he said matter-of-factly. "I think that's well within the range of probability."

who knows if given time. lots of smart people believe that women may one day be faster than man. this will hurt my man ego, but shea ralph took me to school on the court and i thought she didnt stand a chance. i could easily see a specialist woman play in the league. a dead eyed jump shooter that comes in near the end of quarters, it could happen.

Does that mean men can play in the WNBA? Surely no one would think that is fair.

This thread has some potential for all kinds of accusations for sexism.

Is it bad that my first thought was "poor R6" as opposed to "poor girl"?

As long as they can realistically compete, why not.

As long as another player can punch her and get the same punishment as if he punched any other NBA player I have no problem with it.

Whether or not she could realistically compete, there are so many stigmas and prejudices she would have to overcome. It would be ridonkulous. What are they trying to prove? I was never a fan of letting the wimmenz play in the PGA because they would not ever allow a man to play in the WPGA.

Well that's the thing. But will all women forever in the future be incapable of playing in the NBA? doubtful.
