No Offseason: The Athletic Women's Basketball Show

The Launch of Unrivaled

In anticipation of Unrivaled tipping off its inaugural season, Ben and Sabreena connect with two of the league's stakeholders, Chelsea Gray and Luke Cooper, to talk about how Unrivaled came together. Chelsea shares the process of being recruited by co-founders Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier and why this league is important for WNBA veterans. As the president of basketball operations, Luke explains how Unrivaled developed its rules, put together the rosters, and how this is still "real" basketball. -Follow Zena on X: @itszenakeita-Follow Ben on X: @benpickman-Follow Sabreena on X: @sabreenajm Hosted on Acast.
