her shooting ability is steph curry tier. Doesnt matter how little she weighs. The shooting ability alone would be good enough to compete in the nba as a spot up shooter.

She is allowed to play in the NBA, it isnt a men only league. So, if she is good enough she will.

There are tons of NFL players that couldn't do it.

Let's take a look.

Antonio Gates. 6 foot 4. Played college ball. Too much of tweener for NBA.
Jimmy Graham. 6 foot 6 or 7. Mostly a defense guy but only scored like 4 points a game in college.
Julius Peppers. Massively athletic 6 foot 7 guy. Probably couldn't do it. Chose football instead of basketball in college.
Tony Gonzalez. 6 foot 5.

Most of these guys are hofers or will be voted in.

NO NFL player can do it.

So why would you assume Caitlyn Clark could?

We don't actually know that.

And why would they? To get lower salaries for a dangerous sport that guarantees CTE?
Even nfl great randy moss was unsure if he could make it in basketball.

No. Your favorite tight end isn't athletic enough for the NBA.

Gronk can't do it. Jj Watt can't do it. Kelce can't do it.

Maybe not. But guys like Allen Iverson, Morant, Curry and other guys who aren't absurdly tall? Why wouldn't they at least be excellent QBs if they picked football?

Allen Iverson and Charlie Ward did that.

lol no. Shes a great womens basketball player but she would never be able to create her own shots in the NBA. Her only role would be a catch and shoot player, except she would be a complete defensive liability. People really dont fathom the size and speed of NBA players; theyre genetic freaks, and yes, that includes even the small guys.

The small guys are arguably the most freakish of them all.

If you are 6 foot 3 or shorter and can regularly keep up with borderline 7 footers.

You can probably be a top pro at almost any sport with the right training.

Football, baseball, soccer etc.

Put Caitlin Clark on any random NBA roster, and she is probably the worst player on the team. Can we please just appreciate the womens and the mens games for what they are as individual entities?

She's simply not going to be able to contend with the length and size of NBA players. She's huge for a woman at 6 feet, but she's extremely small for the size of a NBA player.

Guys like AI exceeded because they were incredibly fast, Clark doesn't have that speed.

I think she could score a point in a NBA game that's not a free throw, but it'd have to be a long Curry style 3 or something.

She could be an offensive closer. Just sub her in for clutch moments on offense at the end of quarters or games. She is almost as good a shooter as steph curry, and even more clutch

Didn't she break a college men's record? She's pretty good

How many men did she play against? Zero? So no, she didnt break the mens record.

Also, no she couldnt play in the nba. Serena Williams is one of the best women athletes of all time, and got absolutely destroyed by some guy ranked outside the top 200. Annika Sorenstam is the Tiger Woods of womens golf, yet gets beat by guys like Tony Romo, Vinny Del Negro, etc. And theyre not even professional golfers. Totally different game when comparing womens to mens sports.
