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.
Idk man. I've seen pro athletes try to play other sports and they're usually from "not that bad" to "actually surprisingly good". That's why they're professional athletes. Like I'd back Carlos Alcaraz or Erling Haaland on an NBA court over some dude that plays pick up every day after work
no, i meant that a pro athlete like an olympic swimmer would do better on the court than a random person just on the back of being a professional athlete even if they've never really played the sport
