You think you could beat Caitlin Clark one v one ?

[StatUS]

If you were a decently high level high school player and still in shape you stand a chance.

But Clark probably breaking your ankle and hitting step back deep 3s and faking you out to the hole. If you just a regular baller there's no chance.

She shooting 30% right now but one on one against some dude she probably shooting 60% to 70% or more

 

[CHICAGO]

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.

I DIDNT WATCH BUT
JENNA BANDY IS A GOOD HOOPER
RELATIVE TO WOMEN
AND KENNY CHAO IS PURE TRASH
RELATIVE TO MEN
SO THATS A GOOD COMPARISON.

NAH THEY DIDNT BEND THE RULES.

ONE SHOT PER POSSESSION
IS STANDARD 1V1 IN ANY GYM
IN AMERICA.

Dang I guess shyt has changed since I played. When we used to play 1v1, chase your rebounds and all.



Last time I played like that heavily was probably 2011 though. Ain't no way she beating half of the athletic men 5'10 or above in those conditions.

 

[Depreciating Asset]

Hell no

She is one of the top 100 women's players in the world. Like really think about that. Could you best a top 100 in the fukking world women's ping pong player, soccer player, fighter, tennis or golfer? Like for 99.5% of yall the answer is NO. Why do you think it is different in basketball?

Why is it different? A lot of us grew up playing basketball. Compare that to a sport I’ve never played like tennis, golf or ping pong, I wouldn’t expect to win at those.

Ok but top 100 in the world? Are you 6'6" or taller? Did you play ball in college? Is your jumpshot cash like 75% of the time all over the floor without a defender in front of you?

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

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

Didn’t hoop in college, but I have hooped with/against a few players who made it to the NBA back when I was in college. I still hoop pretty regularly as well. I’m not the player I was back then, but I’m still quicker than her and WAY stronger. If it was a shooting contest, she’d beat me.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Unless she can create distance she can’t beat a man if we’re actually playing ball for real. Would be way too physical and we’d probably end up making love.

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

You are not D3 basketball player.

You not getting picked in a 3 on 3

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Im taller and way more explosive.

I've held my own breh. I know for a fact I've checked (and shut down) people much more explosive and quicker than her who can shoot, got handles and were much stronger.

Lemme guess you could've made the league if you didn't get injured right

 

[IIVI]

Some of ya'll are getting her confused with players like Mugsy Bogues who been annihilating grown men for years.

Spud Webb, Nate Robinson, Isiah Thomas, etc. would destroy everybody on here. That's basically no question.

Caitlin Clark however is orders of magnitude less explosive and athletic than these people. Orders. Those women she played against in college will join the workforce, when you see them in real life as a man do you get the impression that they're elite athletes who'd body you at your best? I honestly don't.

There are 5’2 players right now in the WNBA.

I'm sure a lot of folks here who played ball at least on a high school level can most likely challenge and take down these modern pro women if they roughly the same size or smaller. I don't know why people think that's a reach. I actually remember I played with/against someone who eventually played at Gonzaga and showed up to play ball during the summer. Yes, dude absolutely annihilated us. I guarantee she wouldn't be more intimidating to guard than dude who wasn't even trying and dominating.



Like those posts earlier, I really don't think she's that much more intimidating than a D3 cat you'd see at the gyms from time-to-time in a major area.

You got 5’6 women defending her effectively but some athletic 5’10+” men who can dunk can’t? Come on now.
