I will answer it this way....

my son played on the VT men's club basketball team in 22-23 season and was asked, along with a few others, by Kenny Brooks to practice with the VT womens basketball team (Kitley, Amoore, etc). He said the team was very athletic (especially Taylor Soule) and although my son is a very good athlete, the girls gave him a good run. My son and I were athletically comparable at similar ages. So, given that the WNBA has even better athletes overall (best of the best) than the VT women's team...I would say no, I could not have played in the WNBA...but I also dont think I would be embarrassed on the court.

MD was not a good sport on the court for sure.

In my early 30s I played a daily pickup game with a bunch of guys 30-50

In my prime, I couldn't have played on a middle school basketball team
Tafkam Hokie • 06/05/24 08:36 AM ET
Nope, but most good college men's teams could dominate that league.

Ha, I was actually pondering that very thing earlier.
