While Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart co-founded the newest league with a 3-on-3 format, it appears that Collier is owning the competition alone on the court. While Stewart was eliminated in the first round, Collier has paved her way to the third round. However, moving forward won’t be as easy as it seems.
In the quarterfinals, the Lynx superstar will go head-to-head against Courtney Williams. But before stepping onto the court, the two players are already exchanging words. Williams, who just secured a win against Rhyne Howard with an 11-9 victory, has issued a warning to Collier.
“She got to get through me,” Williams declared. And she’s not just talking—she means every word. Even before her last game against Howard, she made her confidence clear.
“I don’t care who it is,” Williams told Swish Appeal. “They can be tall, they can be short, they can shoot 3s, they can shoot middies. That $200,000 has got a hold on me.”
So, should Collier feel threatened? Well, she’s no stranger to dominance herself.
In her last game at Wayfair Arena, Collier was met with plenty of cheers. Facing off against Katie Lou Samuelson, she took control from the very first possession, ultimately securing a commanding 12-6 victory in just minutes. It is going to be a matchup to keep an eye out for.
