Mark Cuban made headlines Tuesday when he said that he’d be willing to give Baylor Lady Bears’ star Brittney Griner a shot if she were the best available talent in the second round of the 2013 NBA Draft. Since then, there has been a steady stream of both opposition and optimism that a woman might one day be drafted into the NBA. ESPN’s Tom Haberstroh spoke with Miami Heat small forward Shane Battier about it.
Shane Battier was asked if a female trying out would be a sideshow. “Listen, this whole thing is a sideshow. What’s one more trailer?"
