Summertime now offers hoops fans big name players in fast-paced competition, instead of just developmental games and unknown players. Big 3 basketball fills the hottest months with cool action and a different look to the game. See what has fans buzzing and stream the Big 3 basketball league online.
Big 3 basketball is only in its third season, but the young pro hoops league has developed greatly in just a few years. Teams play 3-on-3 half court basketball games where the first team to 50 points is the winner. Big 3 players can score two point shots inside the arc, three pointers outside the arc, and even four point shots when they shoot from special circles 30 feet back from the hoop. Games are fast paced, quick scoring, and shorter than other professional basketball games.
Teams in the Big 3 aren't tied to one city or state. The league is a throwback to the old barnstorming days, as the teams travel around the country playing each other in different cities each week. The league and teams are owned and operated by Big 3 founders Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz. While Ice Cube brings attention to the sport because of his fame as an actor, rapper and member of N.W.A, the league focuses on basketball people, and not gimmicks, to develop it. Clyde "The Glide" Drexler serves as Commissioner over a league of NBA & college stars including Amar'e Stoudemire Greg Oden, Jason Richardson, Mario Chalmers, Stephen Jackson, Joe Johnson and Lamar Odom.
