WNBA Legend Alana Beard Goes Inside Project B

The WNBA is trying to create a sense of urgency with the March 10th deadline. Zena, Chantel, and Sabreena break down what’s at stake and discuss the implications if the league and the players’ union are — or aren’t — able to reach a handshake agreement in time. Next, Chantel and Sabreena welcome Project B’s Chief Basketball Officer and WNBA Hall of Famer Alana Beard to discuss the league’s launch and its mission to fill a gap in women’s basketball. Beard also reflects on her overseas playing career, her transition into the business side of the sport, and the unforgettable message she received from the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant. The crew wraps up by making their Unrivaled postseason predictions.
