In this episode of Beyond The9450, Brittany and Chanteé discuss a fan's Twitter post that questions a potential conflict of interest between Phee and Stewie, who are vice presidents of the WNBPA and co-creators of the three on three league, Unrivaled.

Brittany & Chanteé explore arguments for and against the existence of a conflict, considering factors such as Phee & Stewie's access to proprietary information and potential bias. The conversation also touches on the WNBPA's revenue sharing with players, highlighting that the current players receive an estimated 9.6% of league revenue - which is significantly lower than the NBA's 50-50 split, and discuss the need for improved economic models in future CBA negotiations.

The conversation then shifts to Brittany and Chanteé giving their opinions on whether Unrivaled is truly a competing basketball league to the WNBA.

What do you think? Is there a true conflict of interest? Is Unrivaled a competing basketball league to the WNBA?
