Unrivaled, the latest three-on-three league co-founded by Collier and Breanna Stewart, currently sees Collier leading the charge. With an unbeaten record in matchups and having advanced past the first round of the 1v1 tournament, the competition is heating up as her teammate, Rickea Jackson, sets her sights on the championship. Jackson, who recently secured a dominant 11-3 victory over Jackie Young, prepares to challenge Collier in the next round. In a bold statement about their impending face-off, Jackson expressed her intent to assert her physical playing style: "I just gotta body Napheesa Collier and hope that the refs don’t be on that bull crap." Jackson’s performance statistics speak loudly as she shot 62.5% in her last match, significantly outshining Collier's 41.7%. Despite shooting lower percentage shots, Collier's volume kept her scoring higher as she took more shots and capitalized on free throws. The clash of these two stars promises an electrifying tournament moment, as both players aim for victory in what could be a groundbreaking matchup for the Lunar Owls.
