Amazing Ice Cube - Big3

The legendary rapper and actor Ice Cube is the cofounder of a three on three basketball league. That’s amazing! The man is smart. The league consist of 12 teams whose rosters include both former NBA players and international players. The rules of big three games contain deviations from the official rules of three on three basketball as administered by FIBA that's international basketball Federation. It is an association of national organizations which governs the sport of basketball worldwide.

The rules of fireball3, the basketball variant played by big three differ from FIBA sanctioned three on three games. There are a lot of rules listed and explained on Wikipedia.

During the 2017 and 2018 seasons players on the 30 years were not eligible to compete in the league in 2019 the league change the minimum age to 27 years and in 2021 the minimum age was lowered again to 22.

For 2023 Big3 launched Big3TV to scream all its games on its own website internationally and all games not televised on CBS in the United States

I've watched some highlights on the big three win Trilogy took on 3s company. It was some highlights from five years ago from Fox Sports. To me, the game looks just as exciting as the NBA. There are just less players on a team than the NBA.

Ice Cube always did seem intelligent. He’s doing big things with his life and I'm glad. I'll be watching, checking, and listening out more for the Big3.
