I bet she's already punched her ticket to the WNBA.

I wonder if you will ever see a female player in the NBA. Iirc cuban was talking about giving Griner a look w/ the mavs. I think that's the closest we've come to seeing it - possibly the closest we will.

I dunno; I think a speedster small PG with range could make it. I mean, they can't be worse than Steve Blake.

I don't see why not? It's the NBA... it gives no specification to gender... only the head people gave WNBA a gender... which is stupid unto itself.

I do think at this point it is a talent situation and I'm not sure there have been any female basketball stars who could earn significant minutes in the league, then again have any of them been given a chance? What is the real obstacle?
