This thread has at least proven one thing to me. SaintBruce has never played sports in his life.

I'm about to make a bold statement. I've done absolutely no research to support it, and yet I beg any and all of you to dispute its validity.

I rest my head a little less than a half mile away from the Roosevelt Bridge -- which, for those unfamiliar, passes over the Potomac River -- taking you from the Commonwealth of Virginia into the District of Columbia. The District itself is quite small geographically. More than a third of the originally planned District (a square with 10 mile sides) was given back to the Commonwealth in 1847, leaving our Nation's Capital with a mere 62 sq. miles of land (a decent chunk of which is Rock Creek Park).

AND YET.....I would bet everything I own -- yes, even my last box of gold bond powder -- that there are at least five high school basketball teams in that tiny little district just over the river there that would sweep this year's Lady Huskies in a 7 game series. 4-0. Sweep.

Dispute as you see fit. (It's actually not that bold of a statement, though).

So you actually think Candace Parker couldn't stand in the lane and send little boy skylar packing all day long?

If she didn't have to worry about him shooting, the man wouldn't stand a chance.

You must have never played basketball against women. The fastest and best women lack the lateral quickness to stop a decently talented man. Skyler would score layups all day long on her. He could also consistently block her shot.

This is one of the times where you are laughing because people are responding to it with serious answers and you assume its obvious the original poster must have been kidding. Then you realize they were serious and you are laughing for a whole different reason. If you think Candace Parker could beat Skylar (or any other Vol) then you have certainly not spent much timing playing basketball (at least not against high level competition). Put it this way, do you know how many points Skylar would have averaged playing for the Lady Vols this season? Hint: Tons.

You have to take into consideration that Skylar wont be shooting jump shots so CP could literally just stand in the lane. I don't know how she couldn't defend his shot. It definitely wouldn't be "layups all day long."


I doubt Skylar could score layups all day long on Pat Summit, much less CP.

How the hell would skylar score 1v1 against CP? He can't even shoot.

He would go right around her and straight to the rim. Layups and dunks are high % shots.

For everyone that is late joining this conversation that didn't bother to read it all, the above is what started the debate.

I said "Skylar would win if he was hitting his jump shot" and JZVol said "he doesn't even need a jump shot to beat her"

Bruce I'm trying to help ya here man, but I get the feeling you don't care about reality (or the possibility of a theoretical game being reality LMAO @ myself there) If she just stands in the lane, he sinks elbow jumpers all game!! You are thinking about his shooting ability as if there are 5 men out there. Shooting in an empty gym with only 1 defender in a half-court set is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier than in an SEC/NCAA game. Its not that hard to understand. And for the 5th or 6th time, if she comes out to try and guard him, he's doing uncontested layups. Period. BTW, I could beat her as I am now, 4 yrs removed from organized ball.

If she played up on him, he drive right around her. If she stayed in the lane as you have said he would win 10-0 hitting jump shots.

If think shooting against UK is remotely the same as being in a gym playing one-on-one well it just adds to your legend.

Yeh, but its pretty obvious. Its like people that think Duke could beat the Nets. Or that Bama could beat the Raiders. I guess they just don't understand, I should probably just stop trying to explain it.

Thats why I said man he would win if he was hitting his jumper. I said that from the start.

I didn't even care until JZVol said that he wouldn't need a jumper to beat her. That's just patently false. If he couldn't shoot a jumper then she could just defend the rim and skylar wouldn't stand a chance at "dunking on her", as JZ suggested.

So you're saying that if Candace sits in the lane, she could beat any average d-1 basketball player as long as they werent allowed to shoot a jumper but were required to drive to the basket?
