STEVEN CROWDER (HOST): First off, incomparable? Incomparable. That means there's no one who can compare. That's not true. You could say that about Mohammed Ali. You could say that about Joe Lewis. Russia, uh, Ukraine at one point could say that about Klitschkos. You could maybe say it about -- certainly about Michael Jordan. You could say it about Wayne Gretzky. This was a walk-off, this was the best person.

I don't know that that's Britney Griner. I know the talent pool, of course, is incredibly shallow in women's basketball. It's not played to the same degree that men are. That's just -- look. The reason you can't be as good as men is because there aren't enough good female basketball players. The good ones, the really, really, good ones -- I get it, you're really, really good. But not everybody. It's the same thing in a lot of women's sports. You have these incredibly elite athletes and then you have, you know, a bunch of soccer moms who are doing it part-time. 

Later in the show, Crowder responded to President Joe Biden referring to Griner as the best among us.

STEVEN CROWDER (HOST): What do we have. We have the best among us, Britney Griner. I don't care where you line up, okay? She's not the best among us. She's not the best among -- let's even assume that she's above the bell curve -- certainly not the best among us. Traded, Britney Griner, for the best among Merchants o' Death. Arms dealers. For sure.
