We were already writing this weekend, the “Unrivaled” league is changing the game in the American female basketball landscape. Co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, the competition organized in Miami from mid-January to mid-March was a great success, on the sporting level with the presence of international levels but also economically, with a total of $ 7 million distributed in wages for the players.
The League took an additional step yesterday By attaching the services of the new phenomenon, Paige Bueckers For the next three years, even before his commitment in WNBA!
Expected at the Dallas Wings, which have the first choice of the Draft 2025, the 23 -year -old freshly crowned NCAA champion with Uconn thus ensures to receive a much more comfortable salary than the 78,831 dollars promised to him during his “rookie” season in WNBA, all for only ten weeks of competition. We are talking about a salary multiplied by four.
This summer already, Paige Bueckers had agreed to evolve in the “UNRIVALED” league at the end of its university course. It could thus embody this new circuit favored by the best basketball players in the country, to alternate between the WNBA in the summer and the “Unrivaled” league over a shorter period in winter, to the detriment of the European championships, as it was so far.
This is all the more sense for Paige Bueckers, the 3 × 3 being a discipline that she knows well since she had been gold medalist at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games with the United States. For the “Unrivaled” league, it is a sacred take that will perhaps encourage other large absent from the first edition, such as A'ja Wilson or Caitlin Clark, to join the adventure.
