The whole thing about Diane saying she doesn't play basketball, to me it was like, Diane is saying "DUH! I'm not a man! Of course I was never invited to play, and if I went I wouldn't be welcome, my whole fucking career I've been missing out on the basketball networking, are you so young that you don't know?"

And then I started imagining that a tall woman with Diane's competitive drive, if she's about the same age as the actor playing her or maybe a little younger, she would have been an undergrad when Title IX was passed, she could have played college basketball but it would have been frustrating, and she would have stopped to save her energy for other courts. And of course all through law school and working with Stern and then the big-sports-fan Will, none of them would ever have thought of her as an athlete and she never would have mentioned it.
