    It's on right now. I'm watching it. Just watched someone brick a finger roll on an uncontested drive down the middle.

    I'm not overly impressed so far.

    So far, I have seen one dunk. And I just saw a botched off-the-backboard alley-oop...

    Gotta say, Shoni Schimmel is kinda fun to watch. Very creative out there with the ball.

    Well, it is the all star game. If that can't be entertaining (and, by the way, it is), then they would need to just pack up.

    Well, if people can say things like "I literally died when I saw her come into the room" then they can pretend the game is "all stars"

    So could the Winterhawks (at hockey I mean). It doesn't mean that the argument that the NHL is better is invalid.

    You could beat me at gymnastics most likely. You better than prime Mary Lou? And, I could have scored 30 a game on them bitches when I was 24.

    A 6 foot 2, 245lb man who could bench 400....yeah, I would do ok with easy 25 foot range.

    (Them bitches isn't meant to be offensive, I just talk like that about everyone)

    Funny timing, I was just talking to my girlfriend about Rhonda Rousey today. I have never watched her fight but heard her recent fight lasted like 18 seconds. It doesn't interest me to see her beat up women in 15 seconds.

    I want to fight her

    Just turned 40
    342 lbs (down 125 exactly from my peak) 6 feet 2 barefoot
    NO fight training at all
    NO weight training in 10 years (ride mountain bike for exercise)

    I would be afraid I would kill her.

    I know that most of you think watching the WNBA willl make your penises fall off. Since your penises probably are not doing much good, you should have watched the game. One of the best ASGs I've seen, men's or women's. Back and forth. West up by 12 early second quarter, East goes on a run and takes a 2 point lead at halftime. West goes on 3rd quarter run, East goes on 4th quarter run to lead by 9 late, West goes on 9-0 run to tie game with 39 seconds. Both teams had a chance to win in regulation but could not hit shots. In overtime, the West started strong, getting up by 7, but East closed the OT on an 8-0 run capped by Shone Schimmel's 3 pointer and Tameka Catchings (second oldest player in NBA) layup with 6 seconds left. West tried for a buzzer beater but Sykler Diggens had the ball stolen, wanted a foul, not called. Diggins and Schimmel, both first time all stars, were the stars of the game. If it had been a men's ASG you guys would probably all be saying finally an All Star Game worth watching.

    As a newlywed I use my penis quite often thank you very much.

    Whether I'm using my penis or not doesnt change the fact that watching wnba is a snoozefest.

    Agreed. It took a while for it to warm up, but the second half and OT were solid. I missed it though; do you know why Ogumike and Bird were playing in crunch time for the West instead of Taurasi?

    I don't know if you were an athlete a few hundred pounds and a few decades ago but I would put money on her keeping out of your reach, kicking your legs black and blue until you toppled over, then mounting you and popping your arm. You're not talking about some chick off the street. RR is an Olympian, a world champion, and leagues beyond the other top female fighters in the world.
