Battle of the sexes? Brittney Griner wants to play DeMarcus Cousins 1-on-1

[EuroGator]

It seems like Cousins is taking it with the appropriate seriousness - very little - but it's still an interesting comment. I'd love it if while they were there the two of them played to 11 or 21. Then afterward, the men's team could play against the women's team.

Just make sure it gets videoed. What do you think?

Griner is a ridiculously good basketball player in the WNBA, but Cousins outweighs her by a LOT. He'd push her around and win easily.

 

[TLB]

Stupid no win proposition for cousins. Win, and so what, you beat a girl. Lose, and well....

6'8", 207.

Can dunk with 2 hands.

Barely.

Why is she picking DeMarcus Cousins who is 6'11", 270? Offensively, he'll post her up and dunk over her every time. Defensively, her only chance is if she can hit jump shots or run around him (and I don't think she's that good of a ball-handler). He'll block everything else.

Why not go against a 6'8" NBA player like LeBron James (249) or Kevin Durant (240)?

Or try to match the weight. Our own Bradley Beal is her weight at 6'5."

She'll still get killed, but it won't look like a man playing against a boy.

I'm so tired of modern society's irrational view of equality. Id love it if he did play her. He would destroy her.

Men's sized ball or women's? NBA three point range? She'd have no chance.

You would be surprised at how many people don't even realize that the women play with a smaller ball.

What's the big deal? Dudes play 1 on 1 all the time...

She wouldn't cut it on some good mens juco teams.

How do you think a top high school team like Oak Hill Academy would do against the WNBA championship team?

The high school team will be taller, longer, heavier, and far more athletic.

The WNBA champion would stronger in their fundamentals and play better team basketball.

She couldn't beat a high school center...ridiculous.

Ever notice how Bobby Riggs looks like Woody Allen.?

But he better be careful where he pushes or he could be whistled for a Title IX infraction.

 

[Lake Gator]

I don't know whether other teams do this but the UConn women practice against a male team of former high school basketball players...all of whom are fellow UConn students. Sometimes the women win...sometimes they don't. When they first started this practice in 1994, the starting UConn guards couldn't even get the ball across mid-court. Some years UConn's only losses would be to this boys team of good high school players of less than Div. I talent. Can't imagine Griner living through a match-up against Cousins. Laughable really.

And then he'd be a thug.

 

[rogdochar]

But if Cousins dunks on her won't that be as vile as sending her
a Facebook of his wiener ?

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Is Griner a female?

I am not so sure
