Best Sporting Event
While the disbanding of the Miami Sol 23 years ago left a hole in Miami women’s basketball, Unrivaled swooped in this year to fill it. The 3-on-3 league, which played from January to March, featured some of the WNBA’s biggest stars. Players like Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, and Angel Reese brought fans out in droves and sold out every game at Medley’s Wayfair Arena. The league provided an option for players to earn money domestically in the off-season, breaking records by providing the highest annual salaries in professional women’s sports. And Unrivaled already announced a season two here next year.
