Who would win: 4 NBA players vs. 5 NBL players

Are you kidding? The 5 man roster would win.

Yeah, any 5 NBA players would beat any 4 NBA players in a game.

To make it even you'd have to have the 5 player team be made up of low-level college guys, or maybe even high schoolers.

lol @ high schoolers.

no no no. 5 high schoolers could never, ever, ever beat 4 top NBA players.

same w/ low-level college guys--if you're talking D3, forget about it.

Kevin Garnett? No way. Dwight Howard is way better. I would take Tim Duncan before Garnett as well. The other three are acceptable.

Give me Kobe, Lebron, Chamberlin, MJ, and i might take them over the other 5 you mentioned.

NBA. I'd use Dwight Howard, LeBron, Kobe, Dwyane Wade. All three are amazing athletes that can play offense and defense really well. You can't double all 4. As for defense, Lebron is big enough to help out down low.

How about 5 WNBA players vs. 4 from the NBA?

3 NBA players could beat beat the best 5 WNBA players. Kobe, Lebron and Dwight Howard would win against any 5 in the WNBA and I don't think it would be that close.

By low level college guys do you mean like D3? I'm pretty sure LeBron could beat 3 or 4 D3 guys by himself, considering how many times he beats NBA triple teams and makes it look easy. Well actually I take that back since there would be no way for him to defend 3-4 guys, even if they couldn't defend him either.

And for what it's worth, my NBA 4 would be Paul, Wade, LeBron, and Howard.

correct. most males, if they trained for it, could make the WNBA.

maybe that's an exaggeration--not most. but I played pickup bball at my college with a few future WNBA players, and let's just say i wasn't impressed. at all.

The WNBA has to put the worst product on the court of any major sports league, male or female. The game just isn't entertaining, you can watch a WNBA game and literally wonder how these girls were varsity in high school. A great deal of them shoot bricks, rebounds are mishandled 80% of the time, and turnovers and offensive miscues are more common than points.

I wonder why women's basketball is so bad. Women's softball is entertaining, and women's soccer isn't terrible, at least the athletes are competent. Female endurance sports, like running and swimming are competitive and often produce excellent races.

I just don't know what the problem is.

This is absurdly stupid statement. There are NBA players that have virtually 0 offensive skills and are just big and in there to take up space and grab a rebound or two, and pick up some fouls. You take 5 of them and Lebron and Kobe could probably beat them all by themselves.

i think LeBron would solo all 5 of them.

I think basketball, instead giving foul shots should assign penalties that set up 5 on 4 power plays like hockey.

It would probably cut down on fouls and would be more interesting to watch than foul shots.

Wade has to be on that team. You have to have the most speed possible.

Lebron

Wade

Kobe

Paul

All four guys can steal the ball, all four are good rebounders, all can score and three of them likes to pass the ball.

They could still not beat 5 mediocre nba guys.

how bout Mini Ditka vs 5 NBA players? Who wins that? I say Mini Ditka.

Again, how exactly do you propose Kobe and LeBron would go about defending 5 people by themselves?

Assuming they play by NBA rules, they wouldn't be allowed to play zone and would have to avoid the 3 second violation. The fifth player will always be unguarded so I don't see how 4 players can pull it off against 5. Remember how Team USA did at the 2004 Olympics? That was 5-on-5.
