Ice Cube’s BIG3 3 on 3 hoops league tips off on Sunday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. On Friday the league’s players and coaches assembled at Chelsea Piers for media day and an open practice session. The atmosphere was lively. It had the feel of a college reunion and there was a lot of love and good natured teasing going on.
BSO was on hand and spoke to many of the players, coaches and league executives. One of the more outspoken players was the Killer 3’s Stephen “Stak” Jackson. Stak talked about the camaraderie among the guys in the league, many of whom have known each other most of their lives. He also talked about the BIG3 being a physical league and “making love to pressure.”
Our thanks to Stak, and the BIG3.
