KML and the men's game

[Ron and Vida]

we are constantly measuring the gap between the men's and women's game.
When it comes to three point shooting is Kaleena there?

She could win a shoot out over a male player. But in reality, she is facing weaker/shorter opponents in comparison to a male player. BTW, who are constantly measuring the gap between men's and women's game? It is like saying the whole world is constantly measuring the gap between Serena Williams and Nadal. ( I do believe the gap between these two tennis players is smaller than that between men's and women's basketball game. )

I agree she could win a 3 point shooting contest with any of the guys on the UConn team but wouldn't be able to compete is a full speed game with them playing defense.
Also, Welcome to the board.

Welcome the board!

Kaleena is the Ray Allen of the women's game. You can't compare the games of the sexes except to talk about statistics. People have often joked that the UCONN women are so good they could beat "_____" (insert horrible pro or horrible college team). The reality is they would struggle against even a decent boys high school hoops team. But from a statistical standpoint, winning records, scoring, FG%'s, etc etc. it's all fair game to compare....
