Ridiculous question. What a waste of time and bandwidth. A more realistic question would be can pro women compete with high school men? Against the best, no. Against the average and below, maybe.

Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell said hello.

EDIT: ...and don't forget Dr. J - Julius Erving.

I doubt West would see much playing time today but no men today could guard the other 3 or 4. Two of them are 7ft tall. You are taking my question all wrong, all of you are. What I am asking is whether the skills of today's women are better than men from the distant past.

West could play today. The three point shot would help him.

Saying Jerry West wouldn't see much playing time just proves how ignorant about basketball in general, the NBA specifically you are. Out of the thousands of pro basketball players, multi thousands, West was named to the Top50 players of all time. As for comparing Clarke's competition to Pete's, she broke the women's record against an average Minn. team that lost by 40 points. In the course of her career, her Iowa team won 30+ games by over 30 points. No team in the SEC, specifically in Pete's days, lost by 30+ points. I'm a fan of Clark's but women's college basketball today, in general, is non competitive once you get past the top 10, mabe 15 teams. Last year there were NCAA tourney games in which losers lost by over 25. In tourney games.

The high school women’s games that finish 62-8 give us a preview of what a women’s versus men’s game would look like.

I was more thinking of an average, not throwing them against the greatest players of that era.
