What are the differences between the rules and the plays that are used during a game?

The wnba is starting to become more like the mens league, but verrrryyy slowly. With more women weight training and conditioning, building their bodies and such, theyre becoming stronger and able to jump higher, post stronger, drive harder, and play more aggresive defense with the 4 and 5 spots. The main difference that's talked about now between the men and women is that the women play more of the fundamental style of play, aka- taking the shot only when open and not forcing the bad shot that male players, like bryant, wade, lebron, whoever, like to take so much. The women tend to go to the post like men do, but they don't go up strong against the defender, because they can't finish with the force a male center would. Women tend to fade away from the basket when down in the post. The guards in the wnba swat, and reach for the ball, and attempt to intercept passes alot more, but don't have a high success rating here because of their smaller stature. Things are not done as "spectacularly" in the wnba because of the physical inabilities of the women, but slowly, the league is starting to become flashier, and more fun to watch. Still, the mens league may be a bit too hard for them to catch, because of the little repsect female ballplayers seem to get.

The ladies game is more fundamental passing shooting. Very few women can dunk. In the WNBA the ball is smaller than the one in the NBA

girls arent as athletic and coordinated as most guys which makes a male basketball game more exciting
