Unrivaled President Aims to Prove New Basketball League Is No Gimmick: Q&A

"We're at a time where we can actually somewhat enjoy now the basketball part of this."

Those were the words of Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell regarding the upcoming debut of the Unrivaled Basketball League, which tips off January 17 from Miami.

The much-hyped 3-on-3 league that was founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart features many of the top women's basketball players in the world and has been the subject of much discussion heading into the official launch.

Bazzell sat down with Women's Fastbreak on SI to talk about what went into getting to this point, what fans should expect when the action commences, and what's in store for the league's future.
