Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier were recognized by Time Magazine as two of the world's most influential people for establishing Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 women's basketball league. The league aims to create financial opportunities for WNBA players during the offseason, and its inaugural season achieved milestones like raising $35 million and acquiring more than 20 corporate partners. The league also garnered significant viewer interest, indicative of its potential for growth. Players in Unrivaled benefit from a unique equity model, further incentivizing participation and financial success.
Their ability to continue to shine in the WNBA while building the next big thing blows me away. They give players a chance to make money in the U.S. in the offseason.
Unrivaled has been considered a success by several markers including a $35 million capital raise and signing over 20 corporate partners in its first season.
Unrivaled, which featured several WNBA stars, garnered more than $27 million in revenue and saw 11.9 million total viewers across nationally broadcast games.
Signed players in Unrivaled have equity in the league, offering a unique opportunity besides high salaries, exemplified by Paige Bueckers’ lucrative deal.
