TMZ Sports caught up with Jermaine O’Neal and asked about his participation in Ice Cube’s new BIG3 professional 3on3 league. O’Neal is teaming up with Bonzi Wells and will draft a few other players to round out their roster.
O’Neal says he knows some of the other team’s and knows there are other commitments from players that will me made. But, as a competitor O’Neal says he is betting on himself and Bonzi’s team to win it all.
Another interesting point made by O’Neal was what the league will offer to those fringe ex NBA players or players that couldn’t leave the game on their own terms. As we wrote about yesterday, this league could be a great benefit to players in retirement.
