As the old saying goes, “You can take four steps in the NBA but if you take five , that’s traveling.”

Restore the rule that touching the rim is a foul, and women could compete
As I said in a previous post, Larry Byrd was graceful. Loved his hook shot
Stopped watching basketball when the slam dunk was allowed, made it a thug sport

Well, Caitlin did play with the boys, and was MVP of the coed league… in fourth grade IIRC. Best player on Iowa men’s team played against her in it. But once the boys hit puberty they could beat her so she switched to girl only teams.

Her Iowa predecessor as female national player of the year, Megan Gustafson, kept up longer. Her town was so small they couldn’t get five 8th grade girls to have a girls team. So Megan played on boys team. And opposing boys coaches accused her of being too physical against their boys! In HS they collectively had enough girls for a team so she switched then.

Loved watching Clark NAIL three pointers from waaaay downtown! Perhaps she could go on tour during the off season and have some fun exhibitions with others who can shoot like she does, male or female. Heck, here’s a great idea. In the off-season, organize basketball games with absolutely no contact (other than trying to block a shot, perhaps). AND, the only shots allowed are from 25 feet or more away from the basket.

Meanwhile, since the wacky woke wokesters cannot define “what is a woman?” what does the W in W.N.B.A. stand for? Hmmmmmmmm?
