Professional basketball just got a jumpstart! On June 25th, the BIG3 made its debut in front of 15,000 fans at Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, NY. There to take part in the action was former Arizona Wildcat and NBA star Mike Bibby, who is the captain of the Ghost Ballers.
In a new concept, started up by Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinez, the BIG3 is a 3-on-3 style league, lasting 10 weeks and made up of eight teams. The league also has some really interesting rules. Here are just some of them:
- No tip-off, there is a half court do or die shot to determine who gets the ball first
- Players can score two, three or even four pointers!
