It’s been a week since the sports world was sent into a frenzy and every major and minor sports league was shut down.
No sports has left sports fans around the world a little empty. Ice Cube and the Big 3 are the panning to help with that.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Big 3 league is planning a quarantined tournament in April to help fans during the sports drought.
The league is set to be like a reality show where the players are quarantined in a big house that will be provided by the league with a court built on site.
“The preseason tournament will feature 16 to 22 players from The Big3 who are negative for the coronavirus, and they will be quarantined in Los Angeles, sources said.”
“Former NBA standouts such as Joe Johnson, Zach Randolph and Greg Oden could participate in the tournament, but many details need to be worked out.”
“There would be seven rounds of games, with teammates reshuffling after the first round. When a player accumulates three losses, he is eliminated. Cash prizes totaling millions of dollars will be awarded for first-, second- and third-place individual winners.”
The players will have cameras follow them around like a reality show to cover their daily lives.
This seems like a really good idea. Maybe I’m saying that because I miss sports but who cares? I’ll take anything we can get.
