“The Big 3 League” is a professional basketball league founded in 2017 by Ice Cube, a rapper and actor. The league features former NBA players and consists of eight teams that tour different cities throughout the United States during the summer months. The games are played three-on-three with unique rules, such as a four-point shot and a halftime “four-point challenge” where players can earn extra points. The league has gained popularity among basketball fans and has helped extend the careers of former NBA players.
This is a smart move by Ice Cube to offer Caitlin Clark a contract.
Caitlin Clark is in line to make more history — the NCAA phenom could become basketball’s first-ever $5 million woman, if she accepts a massive deal from Ice Cube’s Big3 league … TMZ Sports has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge of the deal tell us Cube’s up and coming basketball league has already put the unprecedented offer on the table for Caitlin — $5 million to play 8 regular season games and possibly 2 playoff games! That’s it … 10 games for $5 mil, guaranteed.
We’re told she would also get “substantial additional compensation” from merchandising and sponsorships — but here’s the biggest rub to the deal … Big3 would allow her to also play in the WNBA.
It is a win-win for Caitlin who will only be making $76k A year in the WNBA.
Flip the page for Cube, saying it is a no-brainer.
