The Unrivaled league sparked a fresh new conversation around the WNBA's pay debate during its second season tip off. 

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. 

In a post shared to the league's official Instagram account, the league - founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier 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. 

Notably absent from the post was Unrivaled rookie Paige Bueckers, however, the other ladies' fits made up for it. 

Kelsey Plum wore a fashionable two piece unbuttoned look with a black bra underneath that fully exposed her stomach, while Kiki 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.

'When the girls get paid they show out' 

Fans were quick to gush over the Unrivaled stars' Monday night looks, with one user commenting, "Everyone slayed the tunnel." 

"Hit after hit," a second said. 

"I see America's Next Top models," someone else wrote. 

"The girls did not miss!!!!" Another added. 

"When the girls get paid they show out!!!" Somebody else wrote. 

The user was referring to the WNBA's ongoing Collective Bargaining Agreement.

In the ongoing debate, many players have been arguing that they're not being paid what they deserve.
