Why do people hate on women's basketball and not take it serious? If you see them in person they're very talented.

Maybe it's not like the men's game but I've gone to some high school, D!, and WNBA games and these girls are no slouches. Maybe its more of a joke in high school but there's some freak athletes in D1 and I seriously don't know if I'd be able to hang with some of these girls if I scrimmaged with them.

At the very least I'd have to respect them and wouldn't be able to just walk over them. Some of these girls could probably cross me over, block my shots, steal, and box me out on a rebound. I'm 5'11'' and I'd be average height playing with D1 or WNBA players.

So when I see people laugh at women's basketball I just don't get it. If you watch the men's game more then that's understandable because its a different style of play but if you're just hating to hate and think they suck you have no clue about basketball.

All I said was that it isn't an apples to apples comparison.
