Women Basketball players are better in person

I was watching a 5 on 5  pick up game at a local YMCA today. There were a lot of good athletes jumping out of the gym but no real players except for one. She was the only girl on the floor and had real fundamentals and was easily the best all around player on the court. The funny thing was she hardly touched the ball and never took a shot except for a couple of tip-ins. She was dominating the game with good passes and solid screens. She boxed out, played team D and had great footwork. You could tell the guys had more speed and could jump higher, but they did not have the footwork or even the b-ball instincts. 

Watching women play on TV does not do them justice. In person,  you can really see how great they are. Men's basketball on TV is more exciting because of the pure athleticism. 

If you have never been to a WNBA game you should go to one, these ladies can really play. 

There are a  lot of great players in the WNBA including Candice Parker,  Diana Taurasi and 
Sue Bird. However, in my opinion (as well as many others) Cheryl Miller is the greatest female player of all time.
