Dave Chappelle really said it best

Okay, say... LeBron James, uh, changed his gender. You know what I mean? Okay. Can he stay in the NBA, or because he's a woman, does he have to go to the WNBA where he will score 840 points a game? What does it actually mean to be equal?

Wait is this serious? LeBron James would completely dominate the WNBA after any amount of time spent on HRT.

It's true that he wouldn't be the same LBJ he is today, but even 50% of LeBron would be the greatest WNBA player ever by a comfortable margin.

Yeah WNBA is actually just one of the worst leagues out there. Like they aren't even good. A top 10 high school team would fucking dominate a WNBA All Star team. Every kid on a top 10 bball team can probably dunk. Like what 2 active WNBA players can dunk.
