Clyde Drexler Named Big 3 Commissioner

The Big 3 named Basketball Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler as its new commissioner, the league announced Thursday.

Drexler, a 10-time NBA All-Star and champion with the Houston Rockets, replaces Roger Mason, Jr. who was fired this week due to corruption allegations.

Mason denied those claims and accused the Big 3 promoting a “hostile and racist” work environment. Mason also says that BIG3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz, who is white, used a racial slur to refer to black athletes.

Drexler signed a three-year deal that will keep him with the league through the 2020 season. Drexler was a coach for the Big 3 team Power last year.
