Nah breh, this era is different. I remember back in early 2000s, even at the high school level your average LA team had no more than 1-2 girls who could really play like guys played, who looked natural with the ball. If you grew up playing basketball you were automatically the star, it wasn't any deeper than that. Talent pool was thin as fukk
Now the entire squad is girls who have been developing skills for 8-10 years. They all know how to play now. The ones who rise to the top in that field are so much more skilled than what we saw before.
Women's ball was basically at the 50s NBA level in terms of talent pool and development (tho at least they had access to modern skills knowledge). This generation is the one that will pull it more into the 60s/70s era. It might end up stuck there, we'll have to watch and see if women's sports ever get popular enough to take the next jump.
