Years ago, Phoenix Mercury guard Natasha Cloud began to hear about rumblings of a basketball league. That league would become Unrivaled. The 3×3 league, put together by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart has been the talk of the WNBA offseason.
A new 3-on-3 league offers a condensed format, some of the best W.N.B.A. players and a made-for-TV approach that aims to bring viewers close to the action.
Unrivaled is a 3x3 league, but unlike the international half-court version, the games will be played on a compressed full court measuring 70 by 49.2 feet (a standard court is 94 feet long). There are six teams, each with six players. In international play, there are four to a roster.
