If you thought basketball was BIG, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
It’s bigger. It’s badder. It’s better than ever, and ready to take 18 cities by storm this summer.
The BIG3, the premier three-on-three basketball league co-founded by Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz kicked off its third season on Saturday, June 22, with familiar faces like Rashard Lewis and Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis taking the court at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
The league which features ex-NBA players continues to grow, expanding this summer with new teams, rosters, and coaches excited to bring the BIG3 summer basketball experience to fans around the globe.
