Unrivaled is back for Season 2, and the landscape of the WNBA offseason has changed forever. On this episode of Podhalla, Garrett and Brian Gonzales take a comprehensive look at the 3-on-3 league’s second outing. From the high-flying highlights in Miami to the expanded eight-team format, we discuss what is actually working for the fans and where the league is still finding its footing.
We break down the "Content First" approach that has led to a massive revenue surge, but we also ask the tough questions: Are the broadcast tweaks enough to keep viewers engaged through February?
The Valkyries Draft Watch: The conversation then shifts to the 2026 WNBA Draft. Brian makes a compelling case for UCLA standout Gabriela Jaquez as a potential fit for the Golden State Valkyries. Known for her "winning DNA" and versatile scoring, Jaquez could be the perfect complementary piece for a burgeoning Valkyries roster. We analyze her fit in the Bay Area and why her UCLA pedigree makes her a pro-ready prospect.
Key Discussion Points:
Unrivaled Pros: The success of the "Samsung Rest Club," player equity, and the intensity of the 1-on-1 tournament.
Unrivaled Cons: Addressing the "sophomore slump" in TV ratings and the challenges of roster turnover.
Scouting Gabriela Jaquez: Why the sister of NBA star Jaime Jaquez Jr. is climbing up WNBA big boards.
