As fans eagerly await the start of the WNBA 2024 season, some stars are gearing up for the Unrivaled 3*3 league, a brainchild of Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. The league is set to kick off in January next year and has already generated buzz by recruiting popular players like Angel Reese, Dearica Hamby, and Chelsea Gray. When the league’s official Instagram page announced the signing of Marina Mabrey, fans immediately started calling for Las Vegas Aces rookie guard Kate Martin to be recruited.
The Unrivaled official Instagram channel, in collaboration with Mabrey, shared the exciting news on Saturday, sparking comments from fans demanding Martin’s recruitment. Despite being a second-round draft pick in the WNBA 2024 draft, 24-year-old Martin has been a standout player for the Aces, impressing fans with her impact on the court.

The Unrivaled League will feature six teams of five players each, with only three stars allowed on the court at a time per team. The league, held in Miami, aims to provide an alternative for WNBA players who usually play overseas during the off-season. Additionally, the league’s player-owned structure will help address pay issues and introduce the popular 3*3 format, which gained attention after Team USA’s bronze medal win at the Paris Olympics.
Fans want to see Kate Martin in the Unrivaled league
Fans have expressed their desire to see Kate Martin join the Unrivaled league, with some also calling for Caitlin Clark to be recruited. Despite Clark’s focus on the WNBA, Martin’s potential could shine in this new league format.
Another fan highlighted Martin’s impact on the court and the potential popularity she could bring to the league. However, concerns about injury risks were also raised, especially after Martin’s Achilles Tendon injury in a previous WNBA game.
Fans also voiced their disappointment over players like Chennedy Carter not being approached for the league, expressing their desire to see other stars like Gabby Williams in the competition.
