I really enjoy Unrivaled, it’s like if basketball snorted cocaine. I love the format, 3x3 on a full, but shortened court. I’ve never liked half court 3x3.
everything about this game is fast. Games last about a hour, halftime is brief. Hitting one free throw counts as 2 so stoppages go quickly. Play is very up and down and fun, especially if you like offense. It’s almost like watching a WNBA team scrimmaging in practice. The players are much more relaxed, though still competitive because a lot of money is involved in winning championships. But they just seem more laid-back less stressed and having way more fun. It’s also good for skill sharpening.
Im sure a big part of the low viewership is that the big three, Clark, Angel and Aja are not playing. But that’s one of the things I enjoy the most as the three who tend to suck all the air out
and whose fans cause the most fake drama are not present. All the rest of the league’s best players are there.
Games are on either tru-tv or tnt (which also explains the awful viewership) on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night.
