The case for watching Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball is more clear than ever

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The environment is, to put it mildly, busy. Picture one long room divided into sections: Sydney Colson hurriedly gets dressed behind a rack of clothes (“Syd knows how to get the job done,” someone comments) as Deja Kelly and Aneesah Morrow film TikToks; Jacy Sheldon tosses Uno cards into the air while Te-Hina Paopao muses about her denim set (there were quite a few being worn Tuesday; after all, it’s Nashville). Isabelle and Dorie Harrison breeze in and out of locations, jostling between hair and wardrobe.

Megan Perry, the Vice President of Basketball at Athletes Unlimited, oversees everything. The organization is “excited” to be back in Music City, she told The IX Basketball. “There’s a brand new energy that I think we’re bringing this season that Nashville recognizes.”

That energy is driven in part by “the evolution of women’s sports,” Perry added. “The momentum is behind professional women’s basketball right now, and we recognize how the landscape is moving and shifting — and we’re meeting that energy.”

It’s also driven by the abundance of newcomers to the league, including Kelly, Morrow, Paopao, and Sheldon, as well as Tina Charles. “As I’ve been telling the girls, I’ve been watching [the league] for years from afar, and watching them compete,” Sheldon said. “I’ve had a lot of friends and teammates who have competed in it, so it’s awesome to now be a part of it.”
