On the "Club Shay Shay" podcast with Shannon Sharpe, Johnson said it would not be physically possible for Wilson to pull off the feat.

“It’s not physically possible,” she said. “You know what I’m saying? Like, I could barely grab the rim — you’re talking about over the backboard. But, like, no NBA player … no.”

Sharpe then asked Johnson how top WNBA players like Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Wilson would fare against fringe NBA players.

Johnson responded:

“You know how hard it is to get in the NBA? Literally, I got a new appreciation for Summer League. I’m, like, all these guys are playing for, like, one or two spots. And these guys are booming, and they’re seven-footers.
“But I can’t get in that argument because I know I can’t. I’ll tell you that. Like, you’re six-eight and the point guard. What am I about to do? I’m 5’10”, almost 5’11”, right?”

During her appearance on the "Roommates Show" in November, Wilson said she would more than hold her own against NBA players.

“(It) would be like 8 to 11, me … I get the ball first? Yeah, you’re not going to get it back," she said. “I’m not saying you’re going to go scoreless, but 8 to 11 I feel like is pretty solid. … So, what do you think you’ll be, Josh? Don’t piss me off."

Hart replied confidently, saying he would win 11–2, then conceded slightly, saying it would be 11–7.

“Okay, that’s fair. … You got 7? Okay.”
