    No real woman would want to.

    Some lady baller might have those attributes and make the grade... ... ... until the first time someone like Amir Johnson sets a man type pick on her. :devilwink:

    No.

    Is this a serious question, or just an excuse to call Griner's gender into question? I didn't know there was talk seriously questioning if she was a woman before the season. She does look rather man-ish, but that's not really evidence...

    Edit: I feel like I should add that I don't follow the WNBA at all.

    It was a seriously question for like 2 weeks after Cuban suggested he would give her* a training camp invite.

    Personally though Griner should have tried out for the NFL instead after they got rid of the tuck rule.

    It's not her Adam's apple which makes me think she's a guy. It's her penis.

    Last time I saw the Globetrotters in Eugene they had a female player. They've always been ahead of the curve...ambassadors of goodwill! I see no reason a female couldn't compete in the NBA...it would be tougher for male atheletes to adjust than the female athletes in my view. Then could men play in the WNBA? (Luke Babbit for example) Could Djokovic play Serena Williams for a Wimbledon title? ?Could Tiger Woods play on the women's golf tour? I don't think it's such a question of could they, but more why would they want to?

    Why hasn't Congress forced the NBA to integrate, sexually? They could go 6 on 6 in the locker room.

    On a serious side, I am surprised we haven't seen a women coach in the NBA yet and we probably will sooner than later. Also maybe even a female GM in the NBA? After that anything is possible. There are some women out there though who I believe do have the skills to coach the NBA game.

    That would require making a decision and not being on vacation

    I think seeing a female coach in one of the major sports would be interesting.

    I'm already sick of women sports casters, no need for a coach on top of it. Jason Kidd is bad enough

    Women have shown they can coach guys in the UFC.
