Well, gams is old slang for legs. So, you can say "she has better gams" if you are comparing other gams to hers. You can also say "do you like her gams" if you are asking someone if they like a particular set of gams. Hope this helps.

No, on so many levels.
Legs aren't referred to as 'gams' (generally) any more. It would be very strange to look at someone and say 'Do you like her gams?'
She has better game, also... There's a few things wrong with this.
She has better games...than what? Her 'gams' must be 'better' than something. They can't just be better. It's a comparison word.
She has better gams, also? You can't generally say someone has a better something as well. If you say 'Sue has nice legs, Alice has better legs than Sue' you would progress to 'Julie has better legs than Alice' not 'Julie has better legs than Sue, also.' It's technically correct, but it's poor grammar usage and sounds uncomfortable.
It's also just plain rude to ask who has better legs...

No, it is never "correct or fair" to call a ladys legs "gams".
