He was 6’2” and a former high school basketball player. His girlfriend was about 5’7” or so and was a starting point guard for a women’s pro basketball team in Turkey.
They would play make-it-take-it to 21, he would start with the ball, and she would spot him 19 points!
He said he beat her once, and that was basically due to two lucky shots from the perimeter.
So no wonder someone like that would lose to a pro player (male or female)
In fact that's exactly what high school activities are for - skill discovery with low stakes.
