I’m not even gonna front like I can shoot better than Caitlin. With that being said, she’s not taking me off the dribble. She’s not posting me up. She’s not getting her shot off on me. And she’s not staying in front of me :yeshrug:

In my older age, I’d have a tougher time with Chennedy Carter. She hoops like a dude.

Y’all ain’t bout to have me out here looking like Martin, Tommy, and Cole :russ: Question is, who would be the other players CC would bring with her if somebody basically tried to re create the Martin ep
for today?
They had Rebecca Lobo, Sheryl Swoops, Theresa Edwards, and Dawn Staley.

She couldn't keep the average athletic man from backing her down into the rim for layup after layup.
First time she misses is the last time she touches the ball.

The average vertical jump in the WNBA is 14-19". That's the athleticism right now giving Caitlin trouble.

That 5'10 cat who can barely touch rim is far more explosive than basically every female in that league. That's about a 31" vertical. That 5'10 cat who can dunk is exponentially more explosive than any WNBA player. If you can stay in front of someone like that, she should be easy to contain. It don't matter if she can shoot, you can basically stay in her pocket if you have somewhat decent feet for a man.

How many 5'10 men who you know who can barely touch net? That's the explosiveness these women play against and why they nearly have zero chance to recover once they get beat.

If you play ball, and are a ~6'0"+ in-shape male no way you have trouble with her once you get the ball. How you going to play ball, have 2" and 30 lbs. on her, a 30+" vertical but let her get the ball back? Keep in mind she's probably not even a legit 6'.

Just play the "man's game" and get your points.

If you used to playing on the "good", big boy court at the parks with decent competition (like from the local high schools at a big city), you should have no problem with her if you're at least 5'10. The gyms/parks I played at in LA, Long Beach and OC were packed with D2-D3 and decent Junior College players. I'm positive she'd get ran off the court even in Orange County gyms.

Most moderately athletic men who play basketball a few times per week could hold their own vs her, but would get annihilated by Mugsy Bogues because Mugsy actually is used to making fools of grown men on the court.











Now I know the cats on here who can't ball on that court :umad:

I’ve seen too many La fitness missed layups to think she’s not putting in work on anyone on this forum

I’ve seen and played in too many pickup games where people are shooting up TERRIBLE shots only being down 3-4

There’s gonna be a ton of yall dudes who are losing 6-2 and start jacking up step back 3’s like you’re the 2018 Rockets and missing everything

This...right here and it's that simple.
The average man who can play alil ball.

Watching more Wnba now... I know for a fact there's a bunch of bytches in that league that would buss my ass at the age I'm at now.
So I ain't delusional.

Chennedy Carter for example is nice as shyt and maybe I can get a couple buckets but I think she'd win easily.

But unless Caitlin don't miss a shot.
I'd beat her in a close game now.
A few years back. Shes getting smoked.
Cause her game is basic other than them long 3s that isn't consistent.

Please notice they had to bend the rules to make this closer too. 1 shot each turn completely favors the women.
Watch his drives compared to her's. Clear difference in first step and explosiveness.

Don't know if she's a pro, but she averaged 13 PPG in college and he's a casual player.
