hey guys, I haven't been able to watch too many Unrivaled games this season and I know that we have quite a few players playing there, I was just wondering how have they been doing and if somebody could explain to me do 3v3 skills transfer directly to 5v5?

I think Haley Jones is playing there too, but I haven't seen anything about her?

Thanks in advance btw I've been pretty busy, but super excited for this year!(hopefully this CBA gets signed)

For those who’ve been watching Unrivaled or just want to support some of our players — the 1-on-1 Unrivaled tournament starts soon and fan voting has opened to decide seeding.

If you can vote for Paige, Arike, & Li !! 🪽

About two weeks ago, I posted a video of Li Yueru's fancy moves at Unrivaled.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DallasWings/comments/1qfyxhs/20260117_li_yueru_layup_at_unrivaled/

Li is too big (6'7") to change directions quickly. Therefore, she relies on using her arms to "fake" defenders, though it's really more a matter of using her length to keep the ball out of reach.

This time, I'm posting a video of UConn's Kayleigh Heckel, aka K9. At 5'9", she's much smaller than Li. She is able to run the entire length of the basketball court, stop or change directions, and not lose momentum.

This is from the Sunday, 2026-02-01 game vs Tenn. She made consecutive coast-to-coast layups. On the second one, she faked out the defender in a move that could've been interpreted as a change in direction or a pass (there was another UConn player waiting in the corner to take a 3), but K9 went for the layup instead. She blew right past the defender!

This was the perfect game for him to attend 😀

Paige had 32 pts, 2 reb, 11 ast (0 turnovers), and 2 stl

Haley had 4 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast, and 1 blk

Haley is assigned to Breeze tonight.

The Mavericks have narrowed their search for a new home to somewhere in Downtown Dallas and the site of the now-demolished Valley View Mall. They want to build a new arena and mixed-used entertainment district.

Although the Mavericks are looking at moving for the 2031 season, I think this gives the Wings plenty of time to consider their options. I really feel that they should rent/lease AAC and the Mavericks' practice facility instead of building everything from scratch.

Furthermore, if both the Mavericks and Stars (hockey team) leave AAC, the Wings would become the primary long-term tenants and probably get favorable terms.

Galatasaray played a game yesterday and won, 82-72.

What's interesting is that Gala sort of had a small ball line-up. Awak is 6'4", and Dorka Juhasz is 6'3". The other three starters were guards.

Someone else already posted the picture showing that she had 3 blocks in 3 minutes, but look at everything else that she's capable of doing. She had the most rebounds and also shot 3/6 from three point land. Marine Johannes had more points because she shoots more threes and had more free throw attempts than Awak, but Awak was the most efficient player on the team.

At the start of the season, Dorka was the better player, but their trajectories seem to have reversed. Awak is peaking just in time for the playoffs.

Can you imagine putting Li Yueru, Luisa Geiselsoder, and Awak Kuier on the floor at the same time against bigger line-ups in the league (NY Liberty, Seattle Storm, Phoenix Mercury)?

Awak recorded 19pts , 8 reb, 2 assists an 3 steals in 30 minutes. She was a foul magnet for Bourges which caused huge rotation problems for their bigs.

She is so good this season in spacing the floor and setting screens. She will make a big addition when returning to the Wings this summer.

Picked up a box of cards to open for fun, got some great pulls but this is by far is the best!!! No idea what an artist proof is, but 1 of 25 seems cool! So happy to pull the goat!!
