Mark Cuban is considering Drafting Brittney Griner

[carvers4math]

Pretty sure Booker would own Griner.

During the ND/Duke game last night, they were whining about Louisville playing her physically. I have no sympathy for that after watching her check Poppens to the floor and hang off of Prins' arm with no foul calls. They said Griner is afraid to play physical after she punched somebody when she was a freshman. She looked to be pretty physical against us. So if physical play is a problem for her, who wants her defended by any big in the NBA?

I'd like to see her play some NBA minutes. After about 30 seconds she will find the bench and I won't hear of her ever again.

 

[VeloClone]

Are we sure he didn't say this on Monday?

He said it last night before the Lakers game in LA, where the Lakers were retiring Shaq's number, and prior to the Mavericks getting knocked further out of playoff contention.

As somebody mentioned early in the thread...this was nothing more than an attention ***** move.

Jimlad implied.

I'd love to see BG gets owned by Liz Cambage in the WNBA. We'll see how BG fares against the others in the WNBA.

There are some pretty tough women in the WNBA who aren't afraid to show it.

I think that what a lot of people don't realize is that the key to Baylor's success the last few years was really the pg Sims more than BG. Louisville exposed how to defend BG....be physical, don't let her even step into her shot. I honestly think the weakness of her game will be exposed in the WNBA. Maybe she can adapt, but I have my doubts.

The chance that BG might dunk was THE only reason 99% of most guys would have EVER considered watching that trainwreck called womens basketball. And most everyone still found it a waste of time.

Watching Griner dunk was the last thing I wanted to see. Forgive me if seeing someone who is 6'8" dunk a smaller women's basketball over people who are 6" shorter does not impress me.

Griner has a wingspan of 7'4" and a standing reach of 9'2" so to put an approximately 9" diameter ball over a 10' hoop she needs to demonstrate less than a 2' vertical.

And still seems like she barely makes it. I'll bet she has had a few dunk attempts rejected by Ricky Rim.

That one team they played tallest starter was 5'10"

The Phoenix WNBA team has the first draft pick apparently (Mercury) and local CBS station is hyping her already.

You can speak for yourself, but you don't get to speak of "99% of guys". Griner dunking would be in the top 1000 reasons I watch women's basketball. No one is going to make you watch it, but it makes you look really foolish to bash the sport in general and think you speak for everyone else.

I heard he was bringing her in to shoot FTs on all the technicals they're planning on getting from the other team pointing and laughing and making mysoginistic comments about her.

That was clean enough, right Angie?

Ricky Rim sometimes likes her and has been known to bend down to help her.

 

[Go2Guy]

It would be kinda like St Louis Browns signing Eddie Gaedel (sp?)

Yes, there was nothing about her lady bits. Thank you.

I started a companion thread about Ben MacLemore's draft status and the condition of his male equipment, isn't it standard when talking NBA draft?
