Ok if you haven't heard the news, Ice Cube aka Oshea Jackson, has started a 3 on 3 basketball league. Team's feature former NBA players as both players & coaches. Many of your favorite hoopers from back in the day prove that they've still got skills to pay the bills. Literally! Allen Iverson, Larry Hughes, Kenyon Martin, & Mr White Chocolate himself Jason Williams are just a few ballers that have joined the league. If you are looking for an alternative to the sports lull that is the summer, check it out Monday's on Fox Sports.
I love this, great idea by Ice Cube, seeing all the previous NBA stars that I grew up watching. Great concept! Nice post!
Should be interesting and fun to watch.
I havent heard anything about this but thats awesome. Basketball is lowkey my favorite
What would be the purpose of 3 on 3? Endorsements, publicity, and a championship like the NBA?
It brings a streetball aspect to the mainstream. This is especially captivating considering most people, themselves, have only played on that level. With the game shortened to half court, there a better awareness for defense, making it more difficult for offensive player to make ridiculously easy uncontested layups.
And yes to all of your theories of its purpose.
Would love to see this come about im really interested
Watched a game
It was okay
They go to 50, halftime at 25
Jason Williams is already injured ande out for months
this is sick. i will definitely be watching this.
The Olympics added 3 v 3 basketball to the list of summer games. The timing could help this succeed

I like it. An idea would be to have tournaments nationwide allowing the public teams an opportunity to join a season and show off some street skills against some of the best there was.
