Anybody else plan to peep at this ? 8-) :) I honestly been checking updates on this for a while because I liked the idea when I heard it and then my next thought was I hope it doesn't flop lol. Well for those who might not know the games gonna air on Fox Sports 1 on Mondays at 8pm Est and there are some unique things like a 4pt shot , hand checking and trash talk, 14sec shot clock and first team to 60 wins are some of the things I remember Ice Cube mentioning.


They did a combine (see who in shape :D :twisted: ) and had a draft , teams below


This the theme song

We've talked a little bit about it and I'm much more interested now that 3-on-3 is an Olympic sport.

It'll be on FS1 tomorrow, I dont know if they games are live or taped though.

Hopefully they are live, I'd hate to try to avoid Big3 spoilers :lol:

I watched last night, doesn't do it for me. I think it's more novelty and won't last. JWill probably tore his ACL, Maggette got hurt...I think some of these guys will burn out after 10 weeks. The idea of seeing AI back playing is cool, but he's not the old AI (he's just old AI) and I don't like the arena format. Make it a streetball tour where guys are playing outside, on legendary courts in different cities. They drew really well, about 16K, on Sunday but I'd be interested to see the attendance in week 6.

Yea I not surprised about AI and folks might catch on in a couple weeks that it's probably not coincidence he chose to be a "player coach" and will not be playing that much. He is probably the most unfit guy there and unlike some of the others doesn't play anymore. J-Will is just unfortunate more than outta shape because he actually still plays pickup and summer leagues , still sucks tho.

The legit YouTube highlight channels Ximo Pierto and Frankie Vision did videos so this might be how most people peep at some of the action :D
