Fifty years ago women's basketball was different. There were defensive players and offensive players and they didn't cross midcourt. So there were defensive players who never shot the ball and offenseive players who would get twice as many shot opportunities as now.
The three point play wasn't even dreamed of.

50 years ago? You mean players from the 70s?

No.

Players from the 50s and earlier?

Quite possibly.

NBA isn't ready to allow women because it's sexist.

Thank you, that is probably a more realistic comparison.

Did Pete play against many black platers or only a few?

agree with you about basketball technique being better and Caitlin Clark has proven that by outperforming every male player ever.

Mr Naismith would be shocked by all of this.




This is a pathetic troll attempt. She doesn’t even play with the same sized ball.

It is unlawful to discriminate against one's personal preference but we will keep the discussion to those born with a vagina.

Oscar has been called the greatest basketball player of all time, at least when it comes to college. But to be fair, even he did not do what Caitilyn and Pete have done.

The phenom that is Caitlin Clark has turned the game up on its head and has shown us girls can compete too.

How has a highly skilled female basketball player that most people have never heard of or seen (seriously, who watches women's basketball at all) "turned the game on its head"?

She showed that girls can compete with girls? Cool. Did anyone ask that question? Other than that, she has never competed with men on a level playing field. Please don't use that sham of a 3 point contest as your proof source. They didn't use the same size ball and their lines were not the same.

Look at the amount of discussion Caitlyn Clark has created. It has been almost a decade since someone named Caitlyn created this much buzz.

If we go back 50 years, my starting 5 would be:

Kareem Abdul-Jabaar C
Rick Barry F
Bob McAdoo F
Walt Frazier G
Pete Maravich G

They would name their score against any women’s team you could ever come up with. The number of blocked shots and dunks would be ridiculous. They would mercy rule it quickly so it didn’t end up 164-20. And 20 points may be charitable.

No. Women's game is just different. Cool the highest scoring college player was a woman though

When it comes to cooking and cleaning, women have it all over us men.

The reason the next manned moon landing will have a woman is that someone has to fix the sandwiches.
