Priorities!

     After talking to P.L. for almost an hour it was time to post a blog but that plan Unrivaled. That's a little pun for the uninitiated. Unrivaled is a new, professional, women's basketball league, so I watched and delayed blogging. It was started by two WNBA players; Minnesota LYNX own Napheesa Collier (Phee) and New York Liberty's, Brenda Stewart (Stewie) Because the WNBA salaries are modest most players play in Europe or Asia in the off season (winter) where they make much more money. The WNBA season runs opposite the NBA season, therefore their games are mostly in the summer. Phee and Stewie wanted an alternative to playing overseas, thus, they formed Unrivaled, which is now in its first season.

   Unrivaled is a three on three format. The floor is a little shorter and the shot clock only 18 seconds. There are other changes, too. Locally the games are televised on TNT and TruTV so I can watch. It's a very fast paced game. Because I follow the WNBA, being able to livestream their games when I'm at The Little House, I recognize all the players. This adds to the enjoyment.

   Recently Unrivaled hosted a one on one tournament for their players. Phee won this event. Thirty players entered the tournament which was single elimination.  Phee won, capturing the grand prize of $200,000. That's more than her WNBA salary. Compare that with NBA salaries! Each of her three on three teammates received  $10,000. based on her win. Phee's  team is leading the league with an 8 and 1 record.

  So, that's my priority, which sure beats football.
