Lonzo Ball<\/a> and Michael Porter Jr. believe they would have been forces to be reckoned with in the WNBA as teenagers … with both NBA stars claiming they’d dominate against pro women’s players before they were old enough to drive cars.<\/p>\n MPJ stopped by Lonzo’s “Ball in the Family” podcast recently … and at one point in their chat, the current Brooklyn Nets player brought up how A’ja Wilson<\/a> said she could beat Knicks guard Josh Hart<\/a> one-on-one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The convo then transitioned into how Patrick Beverly<\/a> said a WNBA team could beat an NBA team’s bench players … which Lonzo wasn’t buying.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I mean this as respectfully as possible, but 9th-grade Lonzo Ball in the WNBA is going crazy,” Ball said.<\/p>\n “In 9th grade, I was over six feet, and I’m dunking. I’m coming through the lane. No girl in the WNBA is doing that. I’m going back door, throw it up. I’m looking like [Michael] Jordan<\/a> out there.”<\/p>\n Porter Jr. took it a step further … thinking the Jr. High version of himself could beat some WNBA hoopers.<\/p>\n “I have real experience doing this,” he said. “I played my sisters. They played at the University of Missouri, and I was still a young kid. They had me playing on the scout team, and they had a few WNBA players on their team, like Sophie Cunningham<\/a> and a couple others.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n “It’s just a difference, and I wish this would stop being a conversation because it should be common sense. I appreciate common sense. I feel sometimes that’s lost a little bit,” Porter said.<\/p>\n Feels like a stretch to think a team of middle school boys could beat a team with the likes of Wilson, Paige Bueckers<\/a>, Caitlin Clark<\/a> and Angel Reese<\/a> … but Zo and MPJ seem convinced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lonzo Ball, Michael Porter Jr. We Would Wreck WNBA … As Freshmen In H.S.!!!
