BIG3 Origins and Vision

BIG3 Basketball was founded in 2017 by entertainment mogul Ice Cube and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz. Their vision? To create a fast-paced, half-court, three-on-three basketball league that showcases the talents of former NBA players and offers fans an unmatched basketball experience. Ice Cube’s passion for the game, coupled with Kwatinetz’s business acumen, brought this spectacular dream to life.

GaryVee Enters the Game: The Triplets and Beyond

No conversation about BIG3 Basketball would be complete without mentioning the involvement of GaryVee. GaryVee’s passion for the game has led him to acquire ownership of a BIG3 team, aptly named The Triplets. This exciting venture not only showcases his love for basketball, it also demonstrates his innovative approach to ownership through the realm of NFTs.

Through a groundbreaking NFT purchase, GaryVee secured his place as the proud owner of The Triplets, adding an electrifying twist to this acquisition and creating a unique synergy between sports and digital ownership.

It Is Not Just Basketball: A Revolutionary Gameplay

Forget what you know about traditional basketball! BIG3 Basketball introduces a captivating format that blends intensity, skill, and nostalgia. Here’s what sets it apart:

1. Three-on-Three Battles: BIG3 games feature three-on-three matchups, with three players on each team battling it out on a half-court. The condensed format intensifies the action and encourages strategic plays.

2. Four-Point Shots: In a thrilling twist, BIG3 Basketball introduces a four-point shot zone. This revolutionary addition injects an extra dose of excitement into each game, as players stretch their shooting prowess to the max.

3. Time Limit: With a strict 14-second shot clock, BIG3 games prioritize fast-paced, high-energy gameplay. The condensed time limit demands quick thinking, lightning-fast decision-making, and jaw-dropping displays of skill.
