About BIG3 Basketball

BIG3 is a 3-on-3 basketball league founded by rapper/actor Ice Cube and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz. It features 12 teams with former NBA and international players and legendary coaches. BIG3 games have unique rules, known as “FIREBALL3“, differing from traditional 3-on-3 basketball. The league has three four-point zones and a pregame 4-point shootout to determine first possession. Ice Cube, considering it one of his greatest achievements, plans to expand the league and recently offered Caitlin Clark a $5 million contract, calling her a “generational athlete.”
