The highly-anticipated Unrivaled 3x3 women's basketball league will officially tip-off on Friday, January 17, in Miami, Florida. Unrivaled was founded by WNBA superstars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart and is looking to revolutionize the game.

Unrivaled provides top-tier facilities, high-paying salaries, and opportunities for athletes to play domestically during the offseason.

The league will come out of the gate swinging with a major broadcasting deal with Turner Sports which will have games airing on TNT and truTV throughout the season.

But, who will be calling the games and providing additional coverage?
