Unrivaled

Great game. It looks like the rules really speed up the game, for example one free throw for 2 points instead of two. More basketball, less advertisement time. Also, the end of game target score should eliminate garbage time, and there's a winning shot every game. Well done, Napheesa and Stewie!

Games seem really fun but the announcers are horrible.

These games have been so good

I play in a Sunday morning hoops league in which basically the same group of players divide into teams and play to either 15 (if we have three teams) or 21 (if we have two teams): two for a regular basket, three for a three, no FT's (no refs). The fourth quarter of the new league last night reminded me of a deciding fifth game to get the winning number of games. In the first, the end-of-the-three quarters lead didn't do it for Stewie's team, while it did for Phee, Howard, Arike, Hamby, etc.....barely. Fun stuff.

Regarding the announcers....muting is a must sometimes.

Go Vinyl! I thought both games were a fun watch. I wonder if it going to be a trend for the underdog in the 4th to climb back into the game. Both games were almost won by the team that was down.

I'll be cheering for Vinyl. The Vinyl have Howard and Hamby who played 3x3 in the Olympics so I'm inclined to believe they have an early advantage with that experience. Plus they have my girl Boston!

They were amazing last night. That second game was a masterclass in defense by both teams.

i thought Aaliyah Edwards did a great job for the Mist.

Agreed about both games. I'm also liking the composition of the teams so far. They seem to be very balanced which should bode well for these games.

When I saw Aaliyah had committed, I was really excited for her. Thought a 3-on-3 format would be an awesome way for her to work on her game during the offseason. It didn't surprise me that she had the impact she did.

Another player who stood out to me was Skylar Diggins. The back and for with Lloyd was entertaining but her energy and how show helped the Owls close out the game and win was awesome. Thought the Owls starting line up with her, Collier and Alisha Gray is a good one.

This cool. Seeing someone like Steve Nash on hand is great to see.

Thanks for posting this update!

I just learned, per CBS Sports, that Hiedeman—whose name I hadn't remembered seeing attached to Unrivaled previously—"was signed as a 'relief player' due to Mabrey's calf injury, which will sideline her for two to four weeks. Hiedeman will remain in the player pool for the remainder of the 2025 season."

Even without these three, the Phantom still has BG, Sabrina, Satou Sabally, and Katie Lou. That seems like a pretty stacked lineup to me!

This is nice to see considering the situation with Mabrey.
