Which ball did they use? Did he use the men's ball and she use the women's ball? Long point short, the smaller size ball goes through the same sized hoop easier than the bigger size ball.

Yeah, swap the balls around and both of their scores would have dropped dramatically.Yeah we’re all aware of the physics of it man, we played with blocks as kids too.
And yes she used the women’s ball (there’s a thing called muscle memory meaning they both would’ve been way worse with the other’s ball), same 3PT line though and still tied the best performance at the 3PT contest for the night with 26.
Hell of a performance.
Well they could have made the rim for the women's ball smaller diameter.Yeah we’re all aware of the physics of it man, we played with blocks as kids too.

Why?Well they could have made the rim for the women's ball smaller diameter.
What an insecure little weirdoWell they could have made the rim for the women's ball smaller diameter.
No kidding.What an insecure little weirdo
I don’t know if I agree with this.No kidding.
Shooting is a SKILL, not very related to athleticism, strength or speed. So there is no reason there should be a big gender difference unless one is worked at it a lot more than the other.
Could see them vs clay/stephThey’re talking about Clarke pairing up with Ionescu or another NBA player for a 2v2 3PT contest.
They should do it again for sure. NOTHING wrong with sharing the light with the gals.
Like the saying goes, “even the Sun doesn’t mind the moon using some of its light to shine”.
Because you can be further off center target with women's ball & it would still go in. Huge + handicap for women.Why?
You don’t think the fact he’s 10 years older, practiced one million more times from a different distance, taken a million more shots from a different distance, has stronger muscles, greater bone density, genetically built for athletic endeavors, taller, stronger and faster is enough of a level playing field for him?
Just enjoy a cool event man, jeez. Have you doubted your masculinity since birth?
You’re barely a male and definitely not a man, speaking to women is intimidating for you, you likely don’t understand why they would want to or are allowed to play sports or lift weights and feel they were better served as hand maids.Because you can be further off center target with women's ball & it would still go in.

I didn't watch it. But it's true women's shooting percentages are inflated by the ball size difference. Indisputable mathematical fact.
This is too far. His point is correct in the absolute. Maybe he just likes math. Some people do like to weigh what they feel is just down to the minute detail. Not a reason to attack his masculinity.You’re barely a male and definitely not a man, speaking to women is intimidating for you, you likely don’t understand why they would want to or are allowed to play sports or lift weights and feel they were better served as hand maids.
Also, indisputable, mathematical facts.
Your reasoning ability is lacking. Net, presume you're female.You’re barely a male and definitely not a man, speaking to women is intimidating for you, you likely don’t understand why they would want to or are allowed to play sports or lift weights and feel they were better served as hand maids.

His nutty rage is nothing to me, but thanks.This is too far. His point is correct in the absolute. Maybe he just likes math. Some people do like to weigh what they feel is just down to the minute detail. Not a reason to attack his masculinity.
I think she had a choice and picked the nba line.If the women's line is closer, why didn't they let her shoot from there?
Fwiw my daughter attended a shooting camp put on by Travis Ford the summer after his senior year. As I picked her up the final day, he was putting on a shooting exhibition while talking to the kids. He was shooting 20 at a time from 5 spots around the 3 point line and hitting 19 or 20 each time, mostly 20. He said with a rebounder he shot 1000 threes everyday. He also said his dad would not let him shoot further than 8 feet till he was 12 years old to insure he had the strength to maintain proper form.Exactly, you don’t put up 500+ shots a day because your mind knows the distances better, your brain and muscles work together to make the exact same repetitive motion 10s of 1,000s of times. To the point where you literally don’t think about it.
Switch balls and Curry will be long on most shots.
OK, but it’s to improve their ball control and thus make their game more visually appealing. Nothing wrong with that.I will never understand why the women use a smaller ball.
Yeah, I get it, but why not play the game the same way across the board? Stop lowering the bar and just play the game under a standard set of rules and regulations. I don’t think women need a smaller ball to make the game visually appealing.OK, but it’s to improve their ball control and thus make their game more visually appealing. Nothing wrong with that.
You ever held hands with a woman? Their hands are like 15% smaller. The ball they use is like 3.5% smaller. Relax dude.Yeah, I get it, but why not play the game the same way across the board?

As for most of us still won’t workThey have to figure out ways to get ppl to talk about women's basketball. And that's not easy.

Man it’s not just him, this garbage has been everywhere. It’s no different than these dudes hating on Swift for the camera shots in football games.This is too far.

NBA line is 12 to 18 inches further.It should also be noted she was shooting from the men’s line which is about 3.5 feet deeper than the WNBA line.
Why do kids play with smaller balls and goals? Ohhhhh because they’re smaller… are your ex-wife’s hands as big as yours? Is she as big as you(not weight, we know the answer)? Can you outrun her, quicker, stronger?Yeah, I get it, but why not play the game the same way across the board? Stop lowering the bar and just play the game under a standard set of rules and regulations. I don’t think women need a smaller ball to make the game visually appealing.
My bad. I thought the WNBA line was still at 20 feet 6 inches.NBA line is 12 to 18 inches further.
