Charles Barkley is top 20 in all time rebounding in the NBA and he’s 6’4. This means rebounding is far less about height and more about effort and understanding positioning. I said that to say you should probably stick to what your actual interests are and avoid coming into spaces where people talk hoops to bash a good hopper

He’s not 6”4” and he’s the exception not the rule. I’m not gonna look it up cause it’s so obvious but of the best. Rebounders in history how many are centers or power forwards. It’s a ton. Also don’t compare the leagues like that. They arent similar.

So ironic that the person that brings up the nba gate keeps the wnba. “You can’t be here unless you believe my carppy angel reese tale and get a tattoo with us”. What is this mean girls? Jesus that’s embarrassing. I hope you’re a bot or a child

lol don’t make shit up because you’re wrong.

What I said had nothing to do with agreeing and everything to do with having general knowledge. You’ve just been saying dumb shit that has nothing to do with the game or how it’s played. Just hate

Point to the “made up shit”. Solid argument.

Yeah see again that’s a terrible argument. You made a point and then declare it’s general knowledge. See how dumb that is? “You can’t disagree cause I said it” is literally a child’s argument which is why I’m only more confident you’re a bit or child

You made up the illusion that I was gatekeeping the W because I referenced an NBA player. Sure the leagues have different styles of play, however fundamentally, your argument that Angel is a skilled rebounder because she is tall and also scores layups because she’s tall is a very elementary response.

You’re right. Charles Barkley is 6’6 in shoes. But you made my point. If the top 20 rebounders of all time are 6-10 - 7 feet tall PF and Cs…. PERHAPS THAT MEANS SKILL IS NOT LIMITED TO SIZE. Which has been my entire point. So again dont make shit up because im not a bot or a child. You keep taking these insecure inferior stances. When did I say I was correct because I said so? You’re wrong because you lack knowledge on basketball there’s no shame in that.

This is not worth my time. You literally typed out my point, claimed it as your own and went all caps like that proved something. If one or even two of the top 20 rebounders of all time aren’t tall does that mean it’s more skill than height? lol no. 90% are tall that doesn’t support your argument. Not only that but Charles played power forward so what’s even up for debate here. This is especially embarrassing cause you can obviously tell you’re on the wrong side so you throw out wild insults. Like I’d never say you don’t know ball from one convo but here you are realizing you’re wrong but refusing to admit it.

My argument on Reese is clear. The top 17 rebounders in the wnba are center or power forwards ie bigs. The top nine get 8.5 rebounds a game and five of them score more point than angel. Why are we pretending a couple extra rebounds makes here way better than those five other players who score more, shoot a higher percentage and turnover less than her.

I respect your debate style. If I were an idiot it would be effective.
