With the new "Unrivaled" league set to begin later this month, one perennial WNBA All-Star feels it could possibly lead to change for women's basketball.

Brittney Griner is one of the 36 WNBA players going to Miami for the 3-on-3 league, which will give the game a "different look," the Phoenix Mercury star said to ESPN recently.

"[Unrivaled] is bringing something new to women's basketball," Griner said. "They're trying to give us a different look, a different feel. We can bring everybody together in one spot. They're really pouring in a lot. Unrivaled is showing that you don't need a lot of time to pull resources together to be able to put a good product out there."

The WNBA saw a huge uptick in viewership and attendance, and it's pretty clear that Caitlin Clark is the catalyst for that. Despite Clark's presence, though, it's taken a long while for WNBA players to fight for more.

This past season was the first where teams had chartered flights, while the average salary is still a little less than $150,000 (Clark's was $86,000, but she earned millions from other endorsement deals).

It's been reported that Urivaled players will make more than $220,000 for their participation, and the season will only last two months.
