Ice Cube's Big 3( 3 On 3 Basketball Official Thread)
IS THE BIG 3 THE NBA'S VERSION OF THE USFL OR XFL???
XFL for sure.
I'm not familiar with the USFL but it has nothing at all in common with the XFL. There wasn't even NFL experienced professional athletes in the XFL.
SHOULD THE BIG 3 AFFILIATE WITH THE NBA (IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY?)
dudes game is still smooth as hell
airing?
Games take place on Sundays then air on Monday on FS1.
Allen Iverson Sitting Out The BIG3’s Trip To Philly Upset A Lot Of Fans
http://uproxx.com/dimemag/allen-iverson-big-3-philadelphia-injury-fans-reaction/
It was an unfortunate circumstance and one that seemed out of Iverson’s control. He said doctors told him not to play, although we still don’t know exactly what is ailing the Hall of Famer. Iverson’s presence in the BIG3 has been one of the driving factors in the massive amount of interest in the league, but it’s been clear from the first week that the expectations for how much he’ll play were way off from what he planned on doing.
Considering he’s the headliner, that was bound to create some problems and Sunday night in Philadelphia was the biggest example of that yet. At other stops, fans have at least caught glimpses of Iverson in his few minutes on the court, where he’ll make a shot and earn a roar from the crowd. On Sunday, the only roars were for him in intros, and then slowly fans realized they wouldn’t see their favorite Sixer on the court that night.
Moving forward, it’s unknown what Iverson’s status will be as far as playing games for the next month and a half of the season. If he’s held off the court for an extended period of time, it will be interesting to see how crowd size — which have been robust to start the year — hold up. The league likes to think it has staying power no matter the participants, but a big part of their marketing strategy was to boast that Iverson and other stars would be playing and without him they will need to either offer more heads up or deal with backlash once again from angry fans.

They must have not watched the games Iverson has played in so far, it's obvious he isn't able to/want to give it his all out there when he is on the floor
Hell yes. Cat looks like he could still avg 20 in the league! Real shit...
Wow!
