NBA Argumentative Essay

A question that is commonly asked about professional basketball is, Could players from the WNBA compete in the NBA? The answer is clear. Women could not survive in the NBA. Men are physically stronger and faster, better natural athletes, and naturally smarter within the confines of sports.

Throughout history, men have competed on a higher level than women. A program called Sports Science, conducted a survey on a race that was ran by both men and women. The test was conducted on a 100-meter race and an enormous, 100-mile race. After the races, the program found that in both the 100-meter and 100 mile races, the female times were 10-12% slower than the men. The program is still currently measuring times from both men and women using Olympic

times. The gap between their times has only gotten wider. Men are currently making an even wider gap on their times compared to the times of women.
If we were to put LeBron James, a famous player for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Elena Donne, a famous player for the Chicago Sky and had them play in a one-on-one basketball game, LeBron James would win.

He would win because his physical strength, speed, and reaction times are greater than of hers. Elena would be able to put up a small challenge but not enough to stop LeBron.

Intelligence is huge in sports. Did you know that part of getting a scholarship to a well-known sports college is your grades? When scouts are talking to a player’s coach, they ask about how they are doing in the classroom. Men and women are equally smart when both are equally applied, but when we add sports into the equation, men are generally smarter. It is not always because of intelligence but because of reaction time. The American Association of Health tested 930 men and women ranging in age from 6-84. The test revealed that men have generally faster reaction times than females.

In sports, you make split second decisions based off your reaction times. If a basketball team were in a game and one teammate was able to get free from his opponent for a second but his teammate with the ball could not reaction fast enough, he would miss his opportunity to score than play. According to the test takes by the American Association of Health, if a man and a women were put into the same predicament, the man would do better than the

female.
Test after test, survey after survey, men prove to be better athletes than females. Women from the WNBA could not thrive in the NBA. They could put up a challenge to the players of the NBA but the NBA players would succeed over the competition.
