Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart developed a groundbreaking idea that led to co-founding the "Unrivaled" League. The first time they even talked about the idea for the league was in 2023, and almost two years later, the league managed to garner $35 million in funding.

Despite being rivals on the WNBA court, Collier and Stewart have previously teamed up together to play for Team USA. They were also teammates in UConn, which made it easier for the Lynx star to find something bigger and could perhaps be groundbreaking.

In conversation with Bleacher Report, Collier opened up about the experience of teaming up with Stewart for Unrivaled.

"It's been great," Collier said. "Coming together for something that's bigger than us has been amazing as well. I think we both see the vision, even with women's sports already exploding, that it can grow even more."
"We've just taken that opportunity, and it's been very cool working with Stewie the past couple years on this and building it and seeing it come to fruition from the ground up. It's been super rewarding."

On Jan. 17, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier will face each other on the opening night of the inaugural season of the "Unrivaled" league. The league's games will air on TNT Sports, Max, and truTV for eight weeks.
