It’s not just a gimmick.
That’s how Jim Jackson sees the Big3 as the second season of the 3-on-3 basketball league nears its conclusion. Jackson, the former Hawks player, serves as an analyst on the Fox broadcasts. The final games in the eight-team league will be held Friday at the Infinite Energy Arena in Gwinnett before the playoffs next week in Dallas and championship the following week in Brooklyn.
“Last year, you didn’t know what to expect because it was new,” said Jackson, who played 14 NBA seasons, including one-plus with the Hawks, and has been an analyst for the Big 10 Network, FS1 and Fox.
