The race to the Unrivaled Playoffs is in full swing, and this week brought the kind of moments that define a season.
Brittney Griner made history by throwing down the first dunk in Unrivaled — and baby Bash was there to see it! — while Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart battled for double-double supremacy. Skylar Diggins-Smith’s scoring spree helped the Lunar Owls lock up the No. 1 seed, while the Rose clinched a playoff berth and now sit just one win away from securing the No. 2 seed.
As the playoff picture becomes clearer, every game is another chance for players to make their case for MVP presented by Miller Lite. Who will be the best of the best?

In The Club
Skylar Diggins-Smith’s home-tour in Miami is the ASMR video we didn’t know we needed. We played a friendly game of G.L.A.M with our Sephora fam. And Unrivaled jerseys are finally here. Let’s see what else our clubs have been up to this week!
EXCLUSIVE: Lisa Leslie x Satou Sabally
“The fact that she wanted to do it and she’s open to listening, I’m here,” Lisa Leslie said during her practice session with Phantom BC’s Satou Sabally.
“We want to be high off the glass,” she told Satou. “So then when it’s defense leaning on us, he’s all here, I’m still ‘boom and one’ because I’m high off the glass.”
Keep an eye out for the video coming soon! As Lisa told Satou, “We made it happen!”
