It appears that Brittney Griner would accept the challenge of playing in the NBA.
According to a report by Richard Deitsch of SportsIllustrated.com, Griner is “more than ready” to try to play in the NBA. The article goes on to say:
"When are tryouts?" Griner said to a handful of reporters at New Orleans Arena on Saturday afternoon. "The WNBA is where I'm at. That is where I'm going. After that, if I get a shot, why turn down something like that? That's big, even if you don't make it. Hey, at least you tried. Somebody pushed the envelope."
Griner said she would be open to an NBA tryout after the WNBA season concluded. "If everybody was OK with it, I would not mind pushing the envelope," Griner said.
This comes after Mark Cuban said he would consider taking Griner if she was the best on the board at the NBA draft (h/t ESPN.com).
While Griner wouldn’t be the first woman to try out in the NBA, it’s certainly a rare occurrence. It's uncertain how she would play against men, but the fact that she’s being considered to try out for the NBA says a lot about her achievements in college.
