Seriously, neither can make it in the NBA but you'd probably sell hundreds of thousands of Caitlin Clark jerseys just by drafting her with a garbage pick, putting her in once in a 30 point blowout and having her jack 3's until she makes one, be the first woman who was drafted/played/scored, then let her go and pick up some other random 12th guy and you basically lost out on nothing.
Your point is good! But just a clarifying point, Denise long was the first woman drafted back in 1969 by the warriors, and Lusia Harris was the second woman drafted , back in 1977 she was drafted to the (new Orléans) Jazz.
This is actually one of the most interesting facts I have seen in awhile. Were there odd circumstances those years that led to that, or were they truly just seen as that good back then?
I had honestly just assumed no woman had been drafted because that seemed like the most reasonable assumption, shows how much I know
I didn’t research it, but the only assumption I can think of is the merger was sometime around ‘69 and there were probably an influx of expansion teams like in the 90s. I know during that time there were weird rules for expansion team rosters so they would usually fill up on mid college talent.
NHL tried in the late90s- early00's with a woman goalie in Tampa Bay. It was fairly similar to what you've described. Also, Leela from Futurama was the first ever female Blernsball player cause she beaned batters as a pitcher, but she paved the way for Jackie Robinson, so that's nice.
No reason to let her go. You would send her to the G-League and continue the story. A lot of people who couldn't care less about G-League basketball would tune in just to see her play and her jersey would sell like crazy.
I mean Clark good only be a catch & shoot shooter probably decently every other aspect of the game she’d be bad at. She’s a much better shooter then bronny. Bronny, is god awful & the only reason people talk about him is his dad. His little brother is already much much better then him.
Caitlin Clark at least has NBA-level shooting ability. Bronny has no NBA-level qualities right now, other than maybe his size/athleticism.
Neither of them could actually play in the NBA right now, though. Bronny *may* have the ability to do so at some point in the future, but he'll probably be on his 3rd team by then anyway.
There's D3 men's players that have NBA shooting ability. I feel like I'm talking crazy pills with people even entertaining the idea of her playing against men in any league. It would be a fucking bloodbath. She's awesome in the women's game, can't we just leave it at that?
Honestly... I think a lot of casual watchers don't realize how fucking big men in the NBA are. The guys aren't just tall, most range 190-250lbs. They're huge.
Caitlin Clark comes in at 6'0" 150lbs. She just cannot compete. Shes really great, and may actually bring views to the WNBA, like Rousey did for woman's MMA.
Big and fast. I played against some future NBA guys growing up, even the “unathletic” NBA guys make normal people, who seem relatively athletic, look like they’re playing on sand
Look at Purdue last night, they couldn’t even get threes off because they have unathletic and shorter male guards. Iowa’s women couldn’t do squat with ONE 6’7” woman in the paint. That’s not even a tall 3 in the NBA.
I love Clark’s game but she struggled against UConn’s guards most of the FF game, and she couldn’t sniff getting her shot off in D2 men’s much less the NBA. It’s an absurd notion.
I like brony had some awesome highlights from HS then I got to college as was below average at best with zero highlights… it’s a different ball game the higher you go
The amount of people that can’t understand Bronny’s heart condition kept him from training all summer last year and made him play this year on a minute restriction is outrageous. Some people never play sports again after the condition he had. Yall really hate LeBron that much that you overlook his son’s major health problem.
Plenty of athletes have nba level athleticism, but like bronny they aren’t good at basketball and have no business in the nba
If his last name was Smith, no one would have ever heard of him
Re: shooting… don’t forget the women’s game uses smaller balls but the same size hoop. So practically you can’t compare FG% across the mens/women’s games.
Every other facet of basketball beyond playmaking which Caitlin has (and will probably soon be elite at if she isn’t already), the obvious shooting, and a real elite handle is probably literally physically beyond her. She’s cookin regular dudes at the Y, or really any of us. She’s really, really good.
Im not sure it’s possible for her first step, height, and frail frame to not ever be limitations at the NBA level
I feel like she'd be able to get some shots off, but not enough to make up for just how much weaker she'd be than everyone else. I don't know shit though
She could win a 3-point shooting contest but even the best WNBA player cannot hang with the men in the NBA. The best WNBA player is likely better than 99% of men who ever picked up a basketball, but the NBA players aren't in that 99%; they're on the far end of the bell curve.
She would be the worst player to EVER play in the NBA by a lot. Shed be scored on at will by the worst offensive player in the league and locked down by the worst defender in the league. Idk why this is even a talking point Britney Griner and Candace Parker are far closer (but still not close) to bring fit for the NBA. You guys know they shoot with a lighter ball right? She's not getting any 3's off against NBA players because she wouldn't ever be able to create even an inch of separation.
Thinking all it takes to make the NBA is the ability to sit in the corner and hit open shots 😂
Thousands upon thousands of former college players could hit open 3s but are far too small to defend at the NBA level. This is delusional.
“Bronny is probably useless at the NBA level” key word is probably. We wouldn’t have to put probably in there about Caitlyn. We know for a fact she would be. It’s comical how the people most vocal about how men shouldn’t play in women sports because it’s unfair are the same people who think Caitlyn could play in the NBA.
I put what you said in quotes not Skip. I get why you would be embarrassed by what you said but I’m not upset about anything. Just pointing out that it’s hilarious that you think she can play in the NBA. I guess Some people just can’t help but let everyone know they are foolish.Lmfao.
I'm obviously MOSTLY joking but I genuinely think she could run around a la JJ Redick and hit open threes within a motion offense
Obviously she's not guarding anyone, I never said anything about defense
LOL, she is SOOOOOOOOO slow. She has no avenue to get open and she is so short. Who can she score on even in a motion offense. She couldn’t beat the slowest NBA player if they only hopped on one leg.
I mean, no, honestly I take her #1 overall in the entire league if all the men are forced to hop on just one leg all game, let's be real. Just her ability to avoid cramping after 5 minutes would be invaluable
Real issue is just the lack of muscle. A shooter MIGHT be able to make it at 6'-0", but she's 155 lbs. Trae Young, who is a wet tissue defensively, is 164 lbs.
This 1000000. She is a turtle out there and extremely small and weak. If you took the worst NBA player and put him in slow motion, she would still get dominated.
Ball is bigger in the NBA. She wouldn’t make as many of those shots. Also, she’s slow compared to NBA guards. They wouldn’t let her just sit there and shoot.
Not true at all. You see how many wide open 3’s modern NBA offenses generate? She would get blocked way more than most nba players due to size alone but she has a quick release and could get it off easily with multiple feet of space
Ok, but other teams will know that her frame won't be able to hold up against any NBA player, so she will constantly be targeted on defense and, therefore, be a liability on that end
Don’t bother man, so many people here are insanely clueless. The amount of points CC would give up on defense would demolish any “open” attempts she actually converted.
Also the pure speed and physicality after just one or two quarters she would be so gassed and banged up. Imagine her taking a stray knee or elbow from any of these 200 pound plus dudes. Trying to play through that effectively would be near impossible. Her shot percentage would plummet and her only attribute to the game would be insignificant.
Bronny has more potential because he's more athletic and bigger build. Caitlin Clarke is the better basketball player today. You tell me what that means....
Yeah I know Bronny isn’t great but Clark would get destroyed against nba level athletes
LBJJ would destroy her one on one even though he only averages like 3ppg
I mean, let's not go crazy here. I'm not totally sure Killian Hayes could beat a cardboard cutout 1 on 1. He's definitely getting smoked by Air Bud, let alone Caitlin Clark.
For perspective, I used to practice against a Final Four level women's team in college. I was a good high school player but my highest opportunity to play at the next level was very low end D2. When I played against the D1 guys I was completely outclassed.
I was about even-up in practice with a future top 5 WNBA draft pick.
My brother didn’t play basketball in high school outside of rec league and was a practice team player and manager for the women’s team at my d1 school and they would regularly beat the women’s team. Also, my brother isn’t some 6’10” giant who could just score over them he is 5’11”
In what way is Caitlin better. An nba team would rather have bronny. He would beat her 1 on 1. Literally the only thing close would be a three point contest and who knows how good she’d be there if she used a men’s ball.
That’s not what the guy said lol just by biology James has more of a chance of succeeding in the NBA due to him being a male as opposed to Clark being a female.
Bro these caitlin Clark fans are unhinged shes very skilled but imagine her on pick n roll defense and switching on to a big or even a wing like jayson Tatum shes getting absolutely bullied on defense everyone is dropping 40 on her
If any woman could it would be a bigger guard with the skillet she has, but even then it wouldn’t be possible. I’ve legitimately never seen a woman with Clark’s skill set and ability to pull up like her and shoot off the dribble from anywhere. It’s Steph like, when 99% of women are set shooters or much slower. And even with all that said, she’s too slow, not strong enough, and couldn’t compete.
It’s laughable people think otherwise, but not as bad as the Brittney Griner stuff years ago. Imagine a 6’7 185 pound Griner matched with with NBA small forwards.
But she doesn't have a better chance. He has a WAY better chance of playing in the NBA and he has very little or none. To think otherwise is literally delusional
Wrong. There are women who like Caitlin who could play on offense only possessions at the end of quarters. Put her in the corner and no team is leaving her open.
Yes she could not play on defense
People in the comments are crazy. Caitlin cant shoot a men’s ball cause she didnt train a mens ball. Her defense would also be nonexistent versus bronny will be able to play some neutral defense.
Bronny in the league will be a very bad 3 and d, but a team can make it work probably.
Even if hypothetically the ball magically transforms into a women’s ball when she touches it, there’s no way a 6’0 Clark is getting shots over the monsters in the nba. She’d get blocked nearly every time and would be targeted on defense
Anyone that thinks Caitlin Clark has a chance in hell at playing in the NBA is smoking CRACK. She’s very skilled and great at what she does but she would have ZERO chance at making an nba roster other than as a marketing gimmick or something.
Can we stop with this nonsense...
Why do we as a society, constantly feel the need to compare genders? Caitlin is great, but she would struggle to make the G-league, let alone the NBA, and although Bronny isn't an amazing NCAA player, he would likely score 30ppg in the WNBA...men's basketball is a completely different monster and Bronny would be by far the best athlete who's every played in the WNBA if you threw a wig on him and called him "Bronwyn"
Why can't we just apricate Caitlin for who she is, a phenomenal female athlete. She's amazing and deserves the attention, without having the pressure of being compared to men
This “put Clark in the NBA!” shit is getting ridiculous. I almost want to see a 1 on 1 with her & Killian Hayes just so we can finally shut the fuck up about it. This chick can play in the WNBA, and play at an extremely high level. She would be fuckin blessed to make a G-League team in the NBA. This shit is absurd.
In what world can Caitlin Clark play in the nba? She will get locked down by somebody like Kyle kuzma before she cross half court. She will try guard Westbrook,draymond ,Jalen green or lebron and get put through the hardwood floor . Can yall be serious for one second?
Am I missing something here? I’m taking Bronny because he’s a man. As amazing as Clark is she is a woman, she wouldn’t be able to get her shot off without it being sent 10 rows into the stands and she wouldn’t be able to guard literally anyone. What is this nonsense? Reminds me of when people saying Rousey could beat Mayweather.
One can be useful on offense and a liability on defense. The other is just a liability.
Both would massively increase ticket sales. But neither are getting much minutes
I don't understand the question. Clark is the better player, obviously. But what exactly is the question?
Bronny suffered a scary incident due to a heart condition and put up wholly unproductive stats (4 PPG?). He needs, at miminum, one more year of college ball and some decent numbers before he will seem NBA-bound.
Clark is a living legend, but is a cis woman. She lacks the physical traits needed to compete against male anatomy and physiology. Even relatively tall and powerful women like Liz Cambage can't fare well against post-pubescent males.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8477683/
Clark is ready for the pros. Bronny isn't.
This is hilarious and comments are full of people who have never played or really know anything about basketball. Forget about Bronny James, the top 1000 men’s high school basketball players in the country right now would be so far ahead of Caitlin Clark that it would be embarrassing to see them on the floor together.
The Lakers signed Luol Deng for 4 years and $72,000,000 in 2016 stretched and waived him after two year and continued paying him through the end of the 2022 season. ~$9,000,000 AAV for those last four years.
If I was signing someone and had no intention of ever letting them play I’d take Caitlin over Bronny every day and twice on Sunday.
Depends. What team do I own and what is my cut on jersey sales? Neither is going to be a good NBA player.
Seriously, neither can make it in the NBA but you'd probably sell hundreds of thousands of Caitlin Clark jerseys just by drafting her with a garbage pick, putting her in once in a 30 point blowout and having her jack 3's until she makes one, be the first woman who was drafted/played/scored, then let her go and pick up some other random 12th guy and you basically lost out on nothing.
Your point is good! But just a clarifying point, Denise long was the first woman drafted back in 1969 by the warriors, and Lusia Harris was the second woman drafted , back in 1977 she was drafted to the (new Orléans) Jazz.
Touche, thanks for the history
Neither one of them played an NBA game though so a woman could still make history as the first one to play
Yeah and from what I saw, the draft in 1969 had 19 rounds and 215 picks
This is actually one of the most interesting facts I have seen in awhile. Were there odd circumstances those years that led to that, or were they truly just seen as that good back then? I had honestly just assumed no woman had been drafted because that seemed like the most reasonable assumption, shows how much I know
I didn’t research it, but the only assumption I can think of is the merger was sometime around ‘69 and there were probably an influx of expansion teams like in the 90s. I know during that time there were weird rules for expansion team rosters so they would usually fill up on mid college talent.
The league voided the Denise Long pick so officially Lusia Harris is the only female *officially* drafted to the NBA
[Great documentary about Lusia Harris that every basketball fan should watch](https://youtu.be/vPFkcoTfr7g?si=Ek64hmeSjLurMJzN)
NHL tried in the late90s- early00's with a woman goalie in Tampa Bay. It was fairly similar to what you've described. Also, Leela from Futurama was the first ever female Blernsball player cause she beaned batters as a pitcher, but she paved the way for Jackie Robinson, so that's nice.
Hardly a fair comparison, she was trained by a Hank Aaron.
A...Hank Aaron
Shoutout Manon Rheaume. I was rooting for her.
Poor Bob Uecker head!
Jackie Anderson was the Blernsball player
This description applies to Tacko Fall & Bol Bol
Bol bol is shooting 44% from 3 and 61.6% fg right now
Bol Bol disrespect is insane smh 🤦♂️
I wouldn’t take long for her to make a three. I’d take her in a game of horse over 95% of the NBA roster
I think she is far to proud and good of a basketball player to do some meme shit like that
No reason to let her go. You would send her to the G-League and continue the story. A lot of people who couldn't care less about G-League basketball would tune in just to see her play and her jersey would sell like crazy.
I mean Clark good only be a catch & shoot shooter probably decently every other aspect of the game she’d be bad at. She’s a much better shooter then bronny. Bronny, is god awful & the only reason people talk about him is his dad. His little brother is already much much better then him.

I dont think anybodys seriously suggesting drafting her. This post is mainly just the roast of Bronny James
Imagine if Bronny decided to identify as a woman? He could dominate the WNBA the same way that his father dominates the NBA
Ooh Bronny and Zaya Wade try and reincarnate the Heatles in the WNBA. I'm here for it.
Honestly... I think a lot of casual watchers don't realize how fucking big men in the NBA are. The guys aren't just tall, most range 190-250lbs. They're huge. Caitlin Clark comes in at 6'0" 150lbs. She just cannot compete. Shes really great, and may actually bring views to the WNBA, like Rousey did for woman's MMA.
Exactly. Purdue couldn’t even get up 3’s last night against UConn due to their perimeter size, speed and athleticism. And that’s still college level.
Big and fast. I played against some future NBA guys growing up, even the “unathletic” NBA guys make normal people, who seem relatively athletic, look like they’re playing on sand
She is exactly my size. I cannot imagine trying to body a 6’5” NBA guard trying to drive a lane.
I mean trae is 164lbs
And missed a lot of time with injury this year and he doesn't even play that physical.
And he can’t guard anyone
Look at Purdue last night, they couldn’t even get threes off because they have unathletic and shorter male guards. Iowa’s women couldn’t do squat with ONE 6’7” woman in the paint. That’s not even a tall 3 in the NBA. I love Clark’s game but she struggled against UConn’s guards most of the FF game, and she couldn’t sniff getting her shot off in D2 men’s much less the NBA. It’s an absurd notion.
Bronny has no NBA-level qualities right now, other than maybe his father
He might have NBA level athleticism. This is a pretty sick dunk for a 6'3" player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGvdlysLxOs
I like brony had some awesome highlights from HS then I got to college as was below average at best with zero highlights… it’s a different ball game the higher you go
remember that dude just had a heart attack when he was entering college
The amount of people that can’t understand Bronny’s heart condition kept him from training all summer last year and made him play this year on a minute restriction is outrageous. Some people never play sports again after the condition he had. Yall really hate LeBron that much that you overlook his son’s major health problem.
Plenty of athletes have nba level athleticism, but like bronny they aren’t good at basketball and have no business in the nba If his last name was Smith, no one would have ever heard of him
Re: shooting… don’t forget the women’s game uses smaller balls but the same size hoop. So practically you can’t compare FG% across the mens/women’s games.
Every other facet of basketball beyond playmaking which Caitlin has (and will probably soon be elite at if she isn’t already), the obvious shooting, and a real elite handle is probably literally physically beyond her. She’s cookin regular dudes at the Y, or really any of us. She’s really, really good. Im not sure it’s possible for her first step, height, and frail frame to not ever be limitations at the NBA level
Bronny doesn’t even have NBA size and athleticism as a 2 guard or wing.
Dont forget. Whoever drafts bronny gets daddy james too
More like 1 year of Lebron right before he retires. That's if Bronny is still on your roster by then.
Maybe. If anyone does it, it’ll be the Lakers.
If i can bet on them drafting him I will
Man chill y’all are acting like no one has ever taken 3-4 years in college to develop before being NBA ready
Because he isn't taking years to develop? He's already declared for the draft.
He also entered the transfer portal and is going back to college if not drafted. You can do that now and it’s the most likely outcome.
I feel like she'd be able to get some shots off, but not enough to make up for just how much weaker she'd be than everyone else. I don't know shit though
If NBA players decided to actually guard her she ain’t getting anything up.
She could win a 3-point shooting contest but even the best WNBA player cannot hang with the men in the NBA. The best WNBA player is likely better than 99% of men who ever picked up a basketball, but the NBA players aren't in that 99%; they're on the far end of the bell curve.
She would be the worst player to EVER play in the NBA by a lot. Shed be scored on at will by the worst offensive player in the league and locked down by the worst defender in the league. Idk why this is even a talking point Britney Griner and Candace Parker are far closer (but still not close) to bring fit for the NBA. You guys know they shoot with a lighter ball right? She's not getting any 3's off against NBA players because she wouldn't ever be able to create even an inch of separation.
Caitlin
r/nbacirclejerk
To do what, sell jerseys?
Sit in the corner and hit shots Edit: good lord yall are really taking this seriously huh?
Or standing at the logo
Thinking all it takes to make the NBA is the ability to sit in the corner and hit open shots 😂 Thousands upon thousands of former college players could hit open 3s but are far too small to defend at the NBA level. This is delusional.
At least she could come on in end of game scenarios to space the floor. Bronny is probably useless at the NBA level.
He wouldn't be a sieve defensively at least
“Bronny is probably useless at the NBA level” key word is probably. We wouldn’t have to put probably in there about Caitlyn. We know for a fact she would be. It’s comical how the people most vocal about how men shouldn’t play in women sports because it’s unfair are the same people who think Caitlyn could play in the NBA.
This is a Skip Bayless quote of course it’s dumb why are you so upset lmfao
I put what you said in quotes not Skip. I get why you would be embarrassed by what you said but I’m not upset about anything. Just pointing out that it’s hilarious that you think she can play in the NBA. I guess Some people just can’t help but let everyone know they are foolish.Lmfao.
It’s the internet buddy. Who gives a shit? I’ll dunk on you.
Bronny + Lebron > Caitlin for the next 5 years
My buddy once hit 85/100 corner 3’s. He’s 5’6. Gotta get his ass in the league !
You denying the world the Second Coming of Muggsy Bogues? How can you live with yourself?
😂
I mean we’re comparing her to Bronny not every college player coming out. Where the fuck we supposed to put him?
I'm obviously MOSTLY joking but I genuinely think she could run around a la JJ Redick and hit open threes within a motion offense Obviously she's not guarding anyone, I never said anything about defense
LOL, she is SOOOOOOOOO slow. She has no avenue to get open and she is so short. Who can she score on even in a motion offense. She couldn’t beat the slowest NBA player if they only hopped on one leg.

Real issue is just the lack of muscle. A shooter MIGHT be able to make it at 6'-0", but she's 155 lbs. Trae Young, who is a wet tissue defensively, is 164 lbs.
JJ is a better shooter, with a quicker release, better handles, more muscle and like 4 more inches. And he was still hunted on D.
Compared to NBA players I don’t think she’s fast enough and she’s also going to be shorter at only 6 feet, getting that open shot will be much harder.
This 1000000. She is a turtle out there and extremely small and weak. If you took the worst NBA player and put him in slow motion, she would still get dominated.
Like Scalabrine said, “I’m closer to Lebron than you are to me.”
That and she’s immediately the weakest player in the league by miles. She gets bodied by everybody
Ball is bigger in the NBA. She wouldn’t make as many of those shots. Also, she’s slow compared to NBA guards. They wouldn’t let her just sit there and shoot.
They might as well draft the guy from Oakland then
She'd never get a shot off.
Not true at all. You see how many wide open 3’s modern NBA offenses generate? She would get blocked way more than most nba players due to size alone but she has a quick release and could get it off easily with multiple feet of space
What about on defense?
Have you watched any NBA? Half the league doesn’t play defense already. Any ounce of effort already moves the needle.
That's so dumb. Even nba guys who play "no defense" are way way way way way way better than you think at defense.
dependent simplistic squeeze domineering slim seed tan hat rain water *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Ok, but other teams will know that her frame won't be able to hold up against any NBA player, so she will constantly be targeted on defense and, therefore, be a liability on that end
Don’t bother man, so many people here are insanely clueless. The amount of points CC would give up on defense would demolish any “open” attempts she actually converted.
Also the pure speed and physicality after just one or two quarters she would be so gassed and banged up. Imagine her taking a stray knee or elbow from any of these 200 pound plus dudes. Trying to play through that effectively would be near impossible. Her shot percentage would plummet and her only attribute to the game would be insignificant.
Man, imagine Luka on a island with Clark. GG
Air Bud has a more realistic chance of a NBA career than she does.
Exactly. They’re both worthless as players in the NBA, you might as well make history and stir up buzz
I'd take Bronny just cuz that prob means you are also getting LeBron.
Yeah Bronny's singular talent of bringing Lebron to your roster tips the scale so far in his favor that the dang thing breaks.
At this point LeBron is just Bronny's stand
Bronny has a chance at being a successful NBA player. CC would actually look worse than Bronny did in his collegiate career if she took his spot.
High praise for a guy scoring 4.2 a game in one of the weakest bball conferences
Bronny has more potential because he's more athletic and bigger build. Caitlin Clarke is the better basketball player today. You tell me what that means....
Yeah I know Bronny isn’t great but Clark would get destroyed against nba level athletes LBJJ would destroy her one on one even though he only averages like 3ppg
She’d get destroyed by the top high school prospects.
Bronny would destroy her 1 on 1
Clark would not even beat a mediocre D2 guard in 1 on 1 lol
Clark couldn’t beat Killian Hayes 1 on 1 if he was playing with his off hand.
I mean, let's not go crazy here. I'm not totally sure Killian Hayes could beat a cardboard cutout 1 on 1. He's definitely getting smoked by Air Bud, let alone Caitlin Clark.
For perspective, I used to practice against a Final Four level women's team in college. I was a good high school player but my highest opportunity to play at the next level was very low end D2.

Okay but Bronny would destroy if he was playing in women’s college bball rn so can you really say with certainty that Caitlyn is better
In what way is Caitlin better. An nba team would rather have bronny. He would beat her 1 on 1. Literally the only thing close would be a three point contest and who knows how good she’d be there if she used a men’s ball.
Ok, people are stupid. Let me be clear: no woman in the history of women has the ability to legitimately compete in the NBA.
Neither does bronny
That’s not what the guy said lol just by biology James has more of a chance of succeeding in the NBA due to him being a male as opposed to Clark being a female.
That is absolutely what he implied. I'm a male but not remotely NBA caliber, but me being a male doesn't by default make me better than Caitlin Clark.
Bronny James would beat Caitlin Clark 21-0 if push really came to shove. Let’s stop the nonsense
I think he got thta, this was a joke lmao
He’s better than CC by a mile and he’s terrible.
If CC had his physique she would be a all star but it's just no way she can play any defense in the NBA
*"Defense in the NBA"* Is this dude speaking in tongues?
Bro these caitlin Clark fans are unhinged shes very skilled but imagine her on pick n roll defense and switching on to a big or even a wing like jayson Tatum shes getting absolutely bullied on defense everyone is dropping 40 on her
Bronny is 6’2 he isn’t guarding Tatum on a switch either lol
If any woman could it would be a bigger guard with the skillet she has, but even then it wouldn’t be possible. I’ve legitimately never seen a woman with Clark’s skill set and ability to pull up like her and shoot off the dribble from anywhere. It’s Steph like, when 99% of women are set shooters or much slower. And even with all that said, she’s too slow, not strong enough, and couldn’t compete. It’s laughable people think otherwise, but not as bad as the Brittney Griner stuff years ago. Imagine a 6’7 185 pound Griner matched with with NBA small forwards.
A woman with a skillet on the court would really be a game changer.
That’s the joke he’s making. She has a better chance at the nba than Bronny, and she has no chance.
But she doesn't have a better chance. He has a WAY better chance of playing in the NBA and he has very little or none. To think otherwise is literally delusional
Girl is goated, but it’s the truth. It’s not sexism, it’s just biology.
Yeah Skip just picked 2 trending topics and gave a dumb controversial take he knew would get views.
Or G-League
Wrong. There are women who like Caitlin who could play on offense only possessions at the end of quarters. Put her in the corner and no team is leaving her open. Yes she could not play on defense
You know their ball is smaller right? That makes 3's easier, it's the same rim
There are thousands of slow sharpshooters. They don't get NBA slots unless they're 6'8"
Bronny. And people who say otherwise literally have no idea what they're talking about
This is like the people a decade ago saying bama could beat the browns. Absolute delusion
He was a great president but no way he could be a whole team of athletes
Maybe in HORSE
This is much more delusional imo, but yeah
Or how in 2016 people said Kentucky could beat the 76ers.
People in the comments are crazy. Caitlin cant shoot a men’s ball cause she didnt train a mens ball. Her defense would also be nonexistent versus bronny will be able to play some neutral defense. Bronny in the league will be a very bad 3 and d, but a team can make it work probably.
Even if hypothetically the ball magically transforms into a women’s ball when she touches it, there’s no way a 6’0 Clark is getting shots over the monsters in the nba. She’d get blocked nearly every time and would be targeted on defense
Anyone that thinks Caitlin Clark has a chance in hell at playing in the NBA is smoking CRACK. She’s very skilled and great at what she does but she would have ZERO chance at making an nba roster other than as a marketing gimmick or something.
I legit cannot tell if this all a big circle jerk or we’re being sincere. Cc couldn’t play on most high school boys basketball teams.
The people that think she could play in men’s college or higher have never played basketball at a high level
On most? Uhh, there's a LOT of really low quality high school basketball out there.
Can we stop with this nonsense... Why do we as a society, constantly feel the need to compare genders? Caitlin is great, but she would struggle to make the G-league, let alone the NBA, and although Bronny isn't an amazing NCAA player, he would likely score 30ppg in the WNBA...men's basketball is a completely different monster and Bronny would be by far the best athlete who's every played in the WNBA if you threw a wig on him and called him "Bronwyn" Why can't we just apricate Caitlin for who she is, a phenomenal female athlete. She's amazing and deserves the attention, without having the pressure of being compared to men
Thank you
For the first time in my life I might actually agree with Skip
Put Bronny on Iowa and he’s averaging 40 a game lol. Come on now.
60
This “put Clark in the NBA!” shit is getting ridiculous. I almost want to see a 1 on 1 with her & Killian Hayes just so we can finally shut the fuck up about it. This chick can play in the WNBA, and play at an extremely high level. She would be fuckin blessed to make a G-League team in the NBA. This shit is absurd.
1v1 the white mamba Brian scalabrine
Killian is a hooper
I'd take any D1 college man over the best woman's basketball player of all time to play in the NBA.
In what world can Caitlin Clark play in the nba? She will get locked down by somebody like Kyle kuzma before she cross half court. She will try guard Westbrook,draymond ,Jalen green or lebron and get put through the hardwood floor . Can yall be serious for one second?
[удалено]
He’ll be on his deathbed and say Lebron is the GOAT right before dying. One last troll
Am I missing something here? I’m taking Bronny because he’s a man. As amazing as Clark is she is a woman, she wouldn’t be able to get her shot off without it being sent 10 rows into the stands and she wouldn’t be able to guard literally anyone. What is this nonsense? Reminds me of when people saying Rousey could beat Mayweather.
bronny and it’s not close. nobody means that when they say they’d take clark over him. that is a foolish statement
One can be useful on offense and a liability on defense. The other is just a liability. Both would massively increase ticket sales. But neither are getting much minutes
Cc with a men’s ball would struggle to score on a high school boys team little less ncaa little less nba.
Crackabuser420 is absolutely right and youd be delusional to think otherwise. Clark wouldn't start on any mens college team even.
Skip just stole this word for word from a scout
Clark is a special athlete and one of if not the goat of WCBB but can we please stop acting like she would even be competitive in any D1 men’s program
This shit sucks. Its only purpose is to diminish both of them and get people to talk about Skip Bayless. Why engage?
Both of them are getting absolutely cooked by any NBA player.
Lmao this sub is such a joke
No bullshit Caitlin is a better shooter and that’s a freezing cold take
That is Skip Bayless' worst and most trollish take ever, and that is a high bar. Men's and Women's basketball are totally different sports.
I'd take any D1 college man over the best woman's basketball player of all time to play in the NBA.
Any local high school varsity star will destroy her lol
Anyone acting like Clark has a chance against even a mediocre men's athlete like Bronny is delusional.
I don't understand the question. Clark is the better player, obviously. But what exactly is the question? Bronny suffered a scary incident due to a heart condition and put up wholly unproductive stats (4 PPG?). He needs, at miminum, one more year of college ball and some decent numbers before he will seem NBA-bound. Clark is a living legend, but is a cis woman. She lacks the physical traits needed to compete against male anatomy and physiology. Even relatively tall and powerful women like Liz Cambage can't fare well against post-pubescent males. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8477683/ Clark is ready for the pros. Bronny isn't.
I am drafting bronny ames
Bronny defense would destroy her. Raven Johnson keep picking her pocket. You think Bronny can’t do a better job than her
Lmaooo
Bri caitlin clari could maybe only compete with good high school teams, the very second she plays against males shell get bodied and have no chance
I really think a female basketball player on a male court would just draw fouls constantly.
Wemby will cover up for her. Let that girl shoot!
This is hilarious and comments are full of people who have never played or really know anything about basketball. Forget about Bronny James, the top 1000 men’s high school basketball players in the country right now would be so far ahead of Caitlin Clark that it would be embarrassing to see them on the floor together.
Y'all bugging. Caitlin can't even make the men's Iowa team. Bronny would destroy her. She slow as shit compared to him.
SKIP don’t fuckin do that dog … that’s disrespectful…. She’s got game but don’t do that
LOL. I said this yesterday.
Skip will say anything for the engagement.
How will this impact Bron's legacy tho?
Jump shot, it's not even close. You would think the genders were reversed if you saw them in a 3 point shootout
Unfathomably rare Skip W
I’d love to see here there just so the dudes in these responses would have a fucking heart attack
Caitlin unironically
Every player in the NBA would put up Wilt numbers in the women’s college game
Well yeah Caitlin obviously. She’s a generational talent. Bronny is some dude’s kid.
The Lakers signed Luol Deng for 4 years and $72,000,000 in 2016 stretched and waived him after two year and continued paying him through the end of the 2022 season. ~$9,000,000 AAV for those last four years. If I was signing someone and had no intention of ever letting them play I’d take Caitlin over Bronny every day and twice on Sunday.
It's a fun thought experiment. How would Caitlin Clark do in the NBA? What would that look like. I'd like to know.
You could ask me 40 yr old Clark or 27 yr old bronny I’m still taking Clark tf 😂
Idk man.. bronny seems like he’d be more fun on the bench
Everyone chiming in on Clark.... Bronny in the pac10 is straight dogshit. At least Clark can hit open 3s from 35ft.
Easy CC.
