I then walked him through the following set of questions. If the WNBA Champs and the NBA champs played each other, who would win? His answer was quick and unwavering...the NBA champs. I then proceeded to lower the quality level of the potential WBNA Champs opponent, but his answer remained the same.... 1. The WNBA Champs vs the last-place NBA team? (Men would win) 2. ...vs the NCAA Men's tourney champs? 3. ....vs the 64th seed in the Tournament? 4. ...vs the Indiana State Boys High School champs? 5. ....vs a boys high school varsity league champion? 6. ....vs an average boys high school varsity team? 7. .....vs a high school JV boys team?..... It was only on the 7th question that he conceded that the women would have a good chance, simply because the boys' bodies would not all be fully developed quite yet. So, in essence, the NBA is trying to promote a league that is "likely" about as good as a boys HS JV basketball team. well, take a look at a JV hoops game and see who attends....friends and family. No wonder the WNBA is on life support.
