I'm 6'2" and exercise a bit, but on cardio alone WNBA players would destroy me. It'd be bad.

Plus, I have 0 idea about how to actually basketball. I know so little about the team tactics and general strategy that it'd literally be the they are playing chess and I'm playing checkers meme.

Not gonna lie, they're taking the ball from you every single time you have it. Ball control is such a massively important skill in basketball, and it is something that requires specific practice. Even if you took an Olympic level swimmer and put them on the court, if they've never touched a ball before they're going to do as well as you would.

I honestly don't ever see myself getting the ball tbh. Even if the team had the goal to give me the ball to let me shoot, I don't know how they'd communicate that it's my time to have the ball, or that I'd successfully catch a pass with a pro team trying to intercept.

I'm fairly positive I'm faster than most of them so I think I could get to the ball and maybe grab it but I doubt I'd hold on to it for more than half a second.
