Napheesa Collier Named Unrivaled League's First MVP

Napheesa Collier has been named the inaugural MVP of the Unrivaled women's basketball league, which she co-founded with Breanna Stewart. Collier led the Lunar Owls to a league-best 13-1 record and was the top scorer with 25.7 points per game, also excelling in rebounds and blocks. Her performance included winning the league's 1-on-1 tournament for a $200,000 prize. She was recognized not only for her on-court achievements but also for her role in shaping the league, described by Unrivaled commissioner Micky Lawler as a significant chapter in sports history. Collier's success is mirrored by her previous WNBA season, where she was the Defensive Player of the Year and a key player for the Minnesota Lynx. The Lunar Owls are set to compete in the league's semifinals, with Collier aiming to secure the first championship title.
