The Unrivaled<\/a> league sparked a fresh new conversation around the WNBA’s<\/a> pay debate during its second season tip off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, Jan. 5, the Miami-based 3-on-3 women’s basketball league kicked off, and before the ladies even made it out of the tunnel, fans were making comments about the women’s paychecks – or lack thereof.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a post shared to the league’s official Instagram<\/a> account, the league – founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier<\/a> and Breanna Stewart – posted several photos of the players making their infamous walk on Monday night, and fans agreed that the fashion choices didn’t disappoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably absent from the post was Unrivaled rookie Paige Bueckers, however, the other ladies’ fits made up for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kelsey Plum wore a fashionable two piece unbuttoned look with a black bra underneath that fully exposed her stomach, while\u00a0Kiki Iriafen rocked a black off-the-shoulder crop top covered in fringe paired with a tiny matching miniskirt. Meanwhile, Rickea Jackson brought the heat in a daring sheer black look, while Dana Evans donned a sleek green minidress paired with a matching floor-length coat and knee boots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘When the girls get paid they show out’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to gush over the Unrivaled stars’ Monday night looks, with one user commenting, “Everyone slayed the tunnel.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Hit after hit,” a second said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I see America’s Next Top models,” someone else wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The girls did not miss!!!!” another added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When the girls get paid they show out!!!” somebody else wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The user was referring to the WNBA’s ongoing\u00a0Collective Bargaining Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the ongoing debate, many players have been arguing that they’re not being paid what they deserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
