Message: [QUOTE="CTGirl15, post: 5342712, member: 2184"] Unrivaled isn't trying to be a threat to the WNBA and it was not started to compete with the WNBA, it was started so that the players could continue to make money in the offseason without having to go overseas. The players want to stay in the US, prepare for the WNBA season, and have fun and Unrivaled allows for that. It's essentially a different sport (3 on 3 vs. 5 on 5) and the season is set up so it has no direct conflict with WNBA scheduling. I have not seen a single player say anything to disagree with Napheesa today. Instead, every single player statement has been in support. That tells me that the players (both those participating in Unrivaled and those who are not) are in agreement with her. The only people who think Unrivaled is a bad thing for the WNBA are WNBA owners and league staff, because Unrivaled has shown what the standard SHOULD be for the WNBA in terms of a Player First mentality.
